A total of 352 companies reported stock repurchases of $5M or more during the quarter, compared to 358 in Q1 2023 and 313 in Q4 2023. For Q1, 380 companies reported some buybacks, down from 390 in the year-ago quarter and up from 373 in the previous quarter. The top 20 S&P 500 companies accounted for 50.9% of the repurchases in Q1, down from Q4 2023's 54.1%. The historical average stands at 47.5%, while the pre-COVID historical average is 44.5%. Meanwhile, 13.3% of companies reduced share counts used for EPS by at least 4% year-over-year, down from 18.5% in Q1 2023 and up from 12.6% in Q4 2023. Q1 dividends paid out by S&P 500 companies increased by 3.3% to $151.6B from $146.8B last year, but decreased from $154.1B in Q4 2023. The companies raised their total capital return to shareholders, comprised of buybacks and dividends, by 7.2% on a yearly basis and by 4.1% from the previous quarter to $388.4B. \"The share count impact on EPS increased for the first time after five consecutive quarters of declines as companies increased their overall buyback expenditure by 8%, which countered the impact of both share issuance and employee options being exercised,\" said Howard Silverblatt, Senior Index Analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices. \"Given the market's current expectations for interest rates to decline later in the year and the continued uncertainty over geopolitical and domestic issues, companies may be shy to finance buybacks going forward as discretionary buybacks, which reduce share count, may need to be financed from ongoing operations,\" said Silverblatt. \"Top-tier cash-flow issues, however, are seen as continuing their buybacks and positively impacting their EPS,\" Silverblatt added. Highest buybacks Apple (AAPL) continued to lead the pack, spending $23.5B in Q1 share buybacks. Meta Platforms (META) followed, posting buybacks worth $18.2B; Alphabet (GOOG) (GOOGL) made repurchases worth $15.7B; NVIDA (NVDA) worth $9.5B and Wells Fargo (WFC) worth $6.0B. Sector-wise repurchases Information Technology (XLK) maintained its lead among sectors, with expenditures of $57.3B. The figure represented 24.2% of all Q1 buybacks. On a yearly basis, Consumer Staples (XLP) hiked their expenses by 90.9% to $12.0B. From the last quarter, Healthcare (XLV) reported an increase of 93.5% to $25.5B.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":84,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
