Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Buybacks typically support share price by signaling confidence, reducing shares outstanding, and potentially boosting EPS. The SEK 15B program and weekly updates reinforce capital return; historical buyback announcements in large-cap names often coincide with modest near-term upside, though price action can still be influenced by broader market moves.
