Quarterly - Share Buybacks vs. DividendsQuarterly report is fine but I am questioning going so hard on share buybacks vs. a bump in the dividend. Buybacks really don't seem to move the needle of share price and a higher dividend tends to protect the shares on the downside. I get that there are less shares to pay dividends on after buybacks but I have yet to really see a significant impact from it other than maybe Imperial Oil when they did an SIB.
Others thoughts?
