<\/a> US companies have been leveraging high cash balances accrued during the <\/strong>pandemic to increase share buybacks<\/strong>, in a trend that looks set to continue throughout 2022, data compiled by Bloomberg<\/a> shows. Total 2021 share buybacks could exceed USD 870 bn when the data is complete, topping 2018\u2019s record USD 806 bn. Companies are using buybacks to support investor confidence through recent market volatility, driven in part by the prospect of rising interest rates and geopolitical tensions,<\/p>\n

Big Oil is also following the trend<\/strong>, with the world\u2019s seven largest oil companies set to return an estimated USD 38-41 bn to shareholders through buybacks this year, the Financial Times<\/a> reports. These levels haven\u2019t been seen since 2008, when share buybacks from oil giants exceeded USD 46 bn, driven by Exxon\u2019s huge share repurchasing scheme. Oil and gas firms are seizing the chance for cheap buybacks following sector-wide underperformance during the pandemic, with most management teams feeling their shares have been undervalued, one analyst said.<\/p>\n
