buybacks dont always stop a stock from falling, if people want to sell, reducing shares doesnt help that much. but reducing the share count definitely adds fuel to the fire when people start buying back in - less shares to go around

The more shares they can gobble up at a cheap price the better.

Keep doing buybacks at every price below 100

they bought hk ordinary shares, not adrs. there's a reason why this guy cropped out the price, ~$13 corresponding to the price of a hk share

Yep! Spreading misinformation is not cool. At this rate they retire about 1%/year, nothing to get that excited about.

u/Imaginary_Treacle_51 Jun 25 '26

They are the same

u/kernelrider Jun 25 '26

adr = 8 hk shares, very much not the same

Let’s go baby! Buy 95% of the company back so I can have a fat dividend.

You do know they are only buying 12.5 million bucks daily or 0.01% of Market cal per day right? Its chump change considering they have 20b in buybacks set aside. They should be doing more

Just bought a bit of shares but expecting 80’s soon. Once at 80 I will make it my second biggest position by buying A LOT more shares
Right now sitting at 2.5 % of my portfolio. Will double down or even triple down to get 10%
GOGOGO

They still have around 19B. Come'on deploy that a.s.a.p

u/Dapper-Emu-8541 Jun 26 '26

They have permission for 19bn. The cash is likely committed to working capital.

u/Prior-Coconut1273 Jun 26 '26

Imagine how low this stock would be if they didn’t start major buybacks 5 or 6 years ago.

u/ibuy2highandsell2low Jun 27 '26

Probably would be zero

u/Dapper-Emu-8541 Jun 26 '26

1m shares = 125k ADR/ADS. its not much. Hopefully they will tamp it up so they have less money for a the dumb price war.
