This year, the scale of share buybacks by American companies has reached $1 trillion, setting a record for the fastest pace in history.

Birinyi Associates compiled data shows that as of August 20, the stock buyback volume of US companies for the year 2025 has reached $1 trillion, breaking the fastest record set in October 2024. In the past few months, Apple announced a $100 billion stock buyback, while Google's parent company Alphabet, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America have also announced buyback plans of at least $400 billion. The association's president, Jeffrey Yale Rubin, stated that companies will continue to "buy low" in the market, with good performance and enough funds for capital expenditures. This is a good way to reward investors and company owners.
