Ayala Land launches P10-B stock buyback program

Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) has approved a share buyback program of up to P10 billion, signaling a move to return value to shareholders and support its stock price.

In a disclosure on Tuesday, the Zobel family-led property giant said its executive committee greenlit the program on March 31, with implementation set to begin on April 1.

The buyback will be carried out through open market purchases using the trading facilities of the Philippine Stock Exchange.

ALI did not disclose a specific timeline for the completion of the program, but such initiatives are typically used by listed firms to enhance shareholder value, improve earnings per share and provide price support during periods of market volatility.

Strong earnings

Companies with strong earnings often turn to share buybacks when they believe their stock is trading below its intrinsic value.
