Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
A material buyback reduces share count, potentially boosts EPS/ROE and supports stock price. The large cap ($300M) over 3 years signals capital-return discipline; combined with Sangdong ramp, it could drive multiple expansion or investor re-rating. Cash flow and funding risks persist; effectiveness hinges on cash generation and tungsten demand.
