Plural of buyout; instances where someone purchases an entire business, company, or someone's ownership stake.
From buy + out (Old English ut, meaning 'away from'), creating buyout, then pluralized with -s.
Corporate buyouts can be brutally efficient—they're how wealthy investors consolidate power, sometimes laying off thousands of workers to maximize profits, making them economically important but often socially disruptive.
