"Originally determined ceiling on total monetary amount of the share repurchase (NTD)"
A share repurchase is when a company uses cash to buy its own shares from the market, reducing the number of shares available to outside investors. Like a homeowner buying back rooms in a shared house to increase their own stake, repurchases can raise earnings per share and often signal management thinks the stock is undervalued, but they also use up cash that could have gone to dividends, investments, or debt reduction — all important considerations for investors.
