Corporate share buybacks restart, is Wall Street's biggest buyer about to hit the buy button?
The U.S. stock market's corporate buyback window is rapidly reopening as the earnings season blackout period ends. According to data from Goldman Sachs, only 12% of S&P 500 constituents are open for buybacks this week, with another 22% set to exit the blackout. Since October, buyback activity has been about 40% lower than this year's daily average. So far in 2026, buyback authorizations have reached a record $1.305 trillion, and actual buybacks in the first half of the year have increased by 15% compared to the same period last year. With limited supply of new stocks, the supply-demand balance is noticeably shifting in favor of buyback purchases, providing strong technical support for the U.S. stock market.
