what happened
The board of Jackson Financial has signed off on lifting its share repurchase authorization by $1 billion, Dow Jones Newswires reports. As of Sept. 30, roughly $353 million remained under the existing program.
The insurer sells insurance, retirement planning and annuity products. Its market capitalization stands at $9.32 billion, with 67.7 million shares outstanding and 61.5 million in public float. Third-quarter earnings per share came to $12.37, compared with 92 cents in the same period a year earlier.
why it matters
For shareholders, the larger authorization signals that the company has capacity to keep repurchasing its own stock, and strong quarterly per-share earnings give that decision a firm base. Buybacks shrink the number of shares trading and often lend support to a share price, although the real effect depends on how quickly the new limit is used. The story concerns one company and is unlikely to move the broader market.
