Buy backs are hit and miss.
Often they result in little or no impact on the share price.
I'd sooner see the divi go by the wayside, pending debt stabilization.
Debt is at low interest rates. Cash flow can easily cover debt. The buy back will buy back equity that is trading at 50 cents on the dollar.
It will raise EPS, cashflow per share, and production by share. All important metrics.
Sell high, buy low.
