RE:RE:Share BuybacksYour right about the cash flow consideration, and lets look at it another way.
10% share buyback 73 million shares 17 dollars a share equates to 1.241 billion dollars.
If Arx is trading at 20% FCF per share that would be 3.40 a share
1.241 billion / 680 million shares = $1.82 share
So if they bought back hedges, there FCF could go to $5.22 a share or a 53% increase
Buying back the shares only provides a 10% FCF increase per share.
Arc share holders are getting the short end of the stick, No Dividends, Huge Share Buybacks, and Huge hedge Costs and it does not really translate to a great evaluation for the stock.
IMHO
