Baytex renews NCIB to buy 70.9 million shares, boosting per-share metrics

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Buyback renewals typically support price via supply/demand dynamics and per-share metrics; the sizable 10% float target and U.S. market-access via exemption add optionality, though impact depends on execution and oil prices.
