How Companies "Fake" Their Profits (The Buyback Scam)

Are stock buybacks a sign of a healthy company, or just a trick to manipulate the stock price? For decades, dividends were the primary way companies paid investors.

This video explores the mechanics, the motivations, and the dangers of this corporate strategy. In this video you will discover: • 🔄 The Mechanism: How companies use open-market purchases to reduce supply and boost price. • 📈 Metric Manipulation: How buybacks artificially inflate EPS and ROE without actual business growth. • 🧠 The Motivation: Why CEOs prefer buybacks over dividends (signaling and tax advantages). • ⚠️ The Dark Side: The risk of "short-termism," increased corporate debt, and reduced R&D spending. • 🌍 Global Shift: How this controversial practice is spreading from the US to Europe and Japan.
