Editor’s Note: Last week, Tim Melvin released Alpha Buying, a report detailing the insider buying that, unlike most, is actually worth paying attention to. Here’s a sneak peek at the report:
I’ve spent decades watching companies destroy value by repurchasing shares at inflated prices, or worse, borrowing heavily to fund buybacks while neglecting the core business. But when done right – when management has the discipline to buy back shares at reasonable valuations using excess cash flow – the results can be magnificent.
The historical evidence is compelling. Take Apple, which launched its massive repurchase program in 2012 when the stock was trading between $60-80 on a split-adjusted basis. Since then, they’ve bought back hundreds of billions worth of shares while the stock has increased more than tenfold. What’s remarkable isn’t just the stock price appreciation but how the buybacks amplified shareholder returns by concentrating ownership.
Or consider AutoZone, perhaps the most impressive buyback story in American business. Since the late 1990s, the auto parts retailer has reduced its share count by over 80%, turning what might otherwise have been a decent business into a compounding machine. A $10,000 investment in AutoZone 25 years ago would be worth over $500,000 today. While the company grew revenues at a respectable rate, it was the consistent reduction in share count – routinely 5-10% annually – that supercharged investor returns.
…These aren’t just random statistics – they’re the foundation of wealth-building machines that have created fortunes for patient investors who understood the compounding effect of persistent share count reduction.
