Venture Corporation's stock surged 7.50% in early trading on Thursday, following the company's announcement of a share buyback program. The move comes as a positive signal to investors, potentially indicating management's confidence in the company's value and future prospects.
According to the latest market update, Venture Corporation purchased 10,000 of its own shares on Wednesday for a total of S$104,196, at a price of S$10.41 per share. This buyback initiative appears to have sparked renewed interest in the stock, leading to the significant price increase observed in the pre-market session.
The share repurchase program is often viewed favorably by the market, as it can lead to increased earnings per share and signal that the company believes its stock is undervalued. While Venture's shares closed 4.7% lower at S$10.40 on Wednesday before the announcement, the current surge suggests a strong positive reaction from investors to the buyback news.
