NCIB UpdateFrom this morning's PR before market open:
Our normal course issuer bid allows for the purchase of up to 68.4 million common shares during the 12-month period ending June 28, 2024. Through November 30, 2023, we repurchased 39.1 million common shares for $215 million, representing 4.5% of our shares outstanding, at an average price of $5.49 per share.
Now trading at $4.43 per share. Would the money spent on the buybacks mentioned above been better used paying off debt sooner, then buying back shares? I think so.
