Episode notes
Buyback Slowdown Creates A New Edge
- Buybacks have been a major driver of market support but have recently slowed despite record levels earlier in 2025.
- Stocks that consistently repurchase shares may outperform when buyback growth falters and the economy slows.
Favor Longstanding Repurchasers
- Focus on companies that have consistently reduced share count for many years when seeking an investing edge.
- Look for names with disciplined repurchases like AutoZone, Wells Fargo, and Apple as potential long-term holdings.
AutoZone's Decade Of Share Shrinkage
- Jim Cramer highlights AutoZone's decade of aggressive buybacks that cut its shares from ~31M to under 17M.
- He uses this as an example of how repurchases can concentrate value and reward long-term holders.
