Abstract

Stock repurchase refers to the behavior of listed companies buying back their issued and publicly traded shares for various reasons and purposes. It is one of the most important and effective financial management tools companies can utilize. Stock repurchases play an active role in stabilizing company stock prices, preserving corporate value, and optimizing capital structure. In recent years, stock repurchases have gained popularity in China's capital markets, with increasing numbers and amounts of repurchases. The complex and dynamic market environment and policies in the context of economic development have provided listed companies with more opportunities. After restrictions were lifted, most companies conducted stock repurchases to stabilize stock prices. Theoretically, a repurchase can increase earnings per share without changing total earnings, but its actual impact on stock prices remains to be verified. Moreover, stock repurchases affect various financial indicators and the capital structure of enterprises. Therefore, research on stock repurchases is of great significance for listed companies and investors. Studying the motivations and financial effects of stock repurchases can provide valuable suggestions and decisions for future repurchases. This paper analyzes the motives and effects of the stock repurchase announced by Muyuan Foods Co., Ltd. on March 12, 2024, using an event study approach.
