Plural of buyback; instances where a company purchases its own stock or when a seller buys back something previously sold.
From buy + back (Old English bæc), creating the compound buyback, then pluralized with -s.
Stock buybacks have become a controversial corporate practice—companies use them to artificially inflate stock prices, which is why financial regulators worldwide keep changing the rules about them.
