Trends in A-Share Buybacks - The report highlights that the overall scale of buybacks in the A-share market is still low compared to market capitalization, despite recent increases in buyback activity [31][32] - Companies that have historically engaged in lower levels of buybacks tend to see more significant stock price increases when they ramp up buyback efforts [33][34]
