Deutsche Börse launches its first share buyback program in six years - financial expert analyzes opportunities for investors.

According to a report by www.jungewelt.de, Deutsche Börse plans to launch a share buyback program for the first time in six years. From January 2, 2024, up to 300 million euros will be used to buy back own shares. Up to 14 million shares are to be acquired by the beginning of May. In addition, the stock exchange will in future distribute 30 to 40 percent of the annual surplus attributable to shareholders as dividends, in contrast to a previous target of 40 to 60 percent.

This move by Deutsche Börse is expected to have various impacts on the market and shareholders. Stock repurchases may reduce the available shares on the market, potentially creating a shortage of available shares and increasing the price per share. This could be beneficial for shareholders who retain their shares as the value of their shares could increase.

Additionally, the stock market's decision to pay fewer dividends and instead use some of the surplus for stock buybacks could influence investors. This move could attract investors looking for long-term growth and appreciation.

Overall, this step by Deutsche Börse is a strategic step to increase long-term value for shareholders and influence liquidity on the market. It remains to be seen how investors and the market will react to this measure.
