JPMorgan: Stock Buybacks Set to Reach Record Highs

Jinse Finance reported that JPMorgan expects the scale of US stock buybacks to increase by another $600 billion on top of this year's record $1.5 trillion. In just eight months, the global buyback scale has already reached last year's $1.37 trillion, which means it could reach $1.9 trillion in 2025, an increase of 38%. Despite strong trading volume, buybacks relative to market capitalization remain below historical peaks (2.6% in 2007, 5% in 2007). While IPO activity remains sluggish, record stock buybacks are reducing stock supply for the fourth consecutive year, continuing to support the market.
