Credit Suisse announces $1 billion 2020 share buyback program

 

ZURICH (Reuters) - Credit Suisse (CSGN.S) said on Friday it expects to buy back at least 1 billion Swiss francs ($1.03 billion) worth of shares until the end of 2020, subject to market and economic conditions, after completing a similar program last year.

 

In 2019, Credit Suisse repurchased nearly 80 million shares on a second trading line on SIX Swiss Exchange for a total of just over 1 billion francs at an average purchase price per share of 12.53 francs.

all the big banks are and have been doing it.

They do it to increase the EPS on the books. Less shares out=moar EPS applied to the qtrly filing.

JP Morgan bought $20b starting in 2017

it's a long list of who does it.

and then there is the stress test bullshit. They get passed by the FRB because they can put whatever they want in the "hold to maturity" bucket and the FRB doesn't look at it. Get a green light from muh FED and then they raise dividend and continue on with this shit.
