Love Share Buybacks? These 3 Stocks Are for You

Share buybacks help bump up a stock's price and lead to stronger returns for investors. One of their benefits is that, as opposed to dividend income -- which will inflate your earnings, and over which you have little control -- you can decide when to sell shares (and thus, realize the gains) of an investment that may have soared, at least in part, due to share repurchases. And that can help you better manage your tax liabilities.  But regardless of how a company returns cash to investors, both dividends and share buybacks can put shareholders in a better position in the long run. 

And in some cases, you don't even need to choose between dividends and buybacks. Three companies that repurchase shares and also pay you on a regular basis are Cerner (NASDAQ: CERN), Wendy's (NASDAQ: WEN), and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL).
