When a listed company buys its own shares back from the market, it is called share buyback. This is mostly done from the secondary markets. Buyback is basically done when the company thinks that its shares are not proportionately priced according to the current market price and so by buying back a part of its shares, the company increases the stake of the remaining shareholders who still have the shares. Buyback is executed at a price higher than the market price so that the shareholders are attracted towards selling their shares back to the company.
