2 Stocks Crushing It With Share Buybacks
Share buybacks are an alternative to dividends for returning value to shareholders. They can be a hugely valuable tool. AutoZone (NYSE: AZO) and General Motors (NYSE: GM) are two companies that have absolutely crushed it with share buybacks.
Unless you're familiar with AutoZone as a company and a stock, it might seem a little backward to you. After all, what's bad for your average car owner is actually good for AutoZone and its shareholders. When consumers have a car problem, they can buy the parts and fix it themselves, or let AutoZone determine the issue; either way, for AutoZone, it's a win. It's why the company has often been lauded as a recession-proof stock -- consumers need their cars working, period.
But beyond its consistent financial results and nearly recession-proof business model, the company has gobbled up tons of its own shares, and only one look at the graph below suggests how much impact it's had over time.
