RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Wow good thing Easy to criticize but it was a catch-22 scenario.
At 26¢ (Fall 2020) the train division sale was not finalized yet. They were bleeding cash so there was no way they could announce a share buyback. It wasn't until January 29, 2021 when the Alstrom sale was closed and the funds began rolling into BBD's account. But by then, the stock was already trading for +60¢.
Still cheap...
but... the first priority was to pay off looming debt obligations which was done and the market responded positively rocketing the share price even higher which we all longs celebrated. However, this also removed the chance of a dirt cheap share buyback opportunity. Catch-22.
