How can you truly tell a company is buying back their shares??

Yes, I know the board of directors has authorized the amount they can buy back.

Just wondering if traders can pick up signs that the company is buying back, before the next quarter release??

Are there any clues you can spot...
 
I think your wasting your time with unorthodox methods.

If it was that easy to spot everyone will be rich buying OTM options on BBBY.

Companies like doing buybacks when shares are cheap so it's impossible to tell whether their secretly buying back or institutions/retail buying the dip until the actual announcement.

So can the company create (the imaginary) support level at all, or would it be totally the market??

Just an example...Amazon. If they have authorized one billion dollars in buy back, could they prop up a dropping price with buy back...

Banks & instituitons will intentionally drop prices just to prop it back up for liquidity purposes idk how companies doing a buyback work.

You’re not going to be able to front run them because they give their order to Goldman/MS etc who then break the orders into pieces and spread them out. The way you should see buy backs is as a marginal increase to demand flow through time. It’s a seasonality factor.
 
Buy a Toyota anywhere in the U.S. and Toyota, Japan, wholly owned Toyota America and the dealer get a piece ................ except in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and here in Florida - you have to include Southeast Toyota (wholly owned by World Omni Financial Corp) and exclude Toyota America.

As far as I know the only privately wholly owned distribution company that is in between the manufacturer and dealer that is not owned, even partially, by the manufacturer.
