Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Buybacks reduce outstanding shares, can lift per-share metrics and price; RBI’s prior execution at ~$74.97 USD suggests willingness to deploy cash when stock trades attractively. The 10% float cap and 34.4M-share limit provide material headroom to influence supply dynamics, particularly with cross-list trading.
