FAQ

Why Bullish?

The repurchase program demonstrates management confidence and aims to improve EPS, echoing past instances where share buybacks bolstered biotech stock prices. Historically, similar programs have led to short-term share price gains and improved market sentiment in the sector.

How important is it?

The $500M repurchase, in addition to the earlier $300M program, clearly impacts NBIX by signaling strong capital allocation and shareholder return strategy. Such initiatives generally drive investor sentiment and can have a notable near-term price impact.

Why Short Term?

Share repurchase announcements typically drive immediate investor optimism and price support. Past examples in the biotech space show rapid share gains post-buyback announcements.
