What? No. It is a way of rewarding investors to offset the lack of growth in the stock price.

It’s not “free money” like some make it sound, but it’s also not selling off the stock. The money comes from the company’s cash reserves, but these companies are often have a well established market, and don’t benefit as much from heavy spending like other companies do.

It seems like it has become fashionable for companies to reward their investors by stock buyback instead. These do raise the value of the stock price, so probably more flashy and attractive to investors.

You make an interesting point, but I don’t see the FTC getting spooked by an internet monopoly over pet supplies.
