In the A** market, share repurchase has become an important means for listed companies to stabilize stock prices and enhance market confidence. As of February 6, more than 650 listed companies have implemented share buyback plans this year, with 69 of them having repurchases of more than 100 million yuan, according to Wind data. This trend suggests that listed companies are buying back shares to reduce their outstanding share capital and increase earnings per share, thereby increasing the value of their companies.

By repurchasing shares, these companies aim to further strengthen their market position by implementing equity incentive plans, reducing registered capital or protecting shareholders' rights.
