In Europe, some French companies are borrowing more cheaply than their government, underscoring just how far investors have chased yield. \u201cIt\u2019s fair to say you\u2019ve never been paid less to take risk,\u201d one asset manager told the FT.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>AI boom offsetting spending slowdown: <\/strong>BlackRock points to AI buildout and infrastructure as \u201cmega forces\u201d offsetting a slowdown in consumption and anchoring returns, with the tech sector accounting for over 40% of total return and a similar share of earnings growth, according to LSEG data.

Companies doing this will generally retire the shares at the end of the process. The net effect: Each remaining share becomes more valuable because earnings are spread across fewer shares, and the share price often goes up as a result. It also gives shareholders who took the buyback an easy exit. Everyone else?
