Hey guys!
Long time member of this sub. So, I encountered a problem when doing my DD on certain stocks. I can't seem to find an aggregated way to find the historical buybacks for a certain stock. This is quite important both for classic DD and also for DCF modelling purposes. There are sites like Macrotrends where you can see the trend of shares outstanding historically (https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/AAPL/apple/shares-outstanding) but you can't really find the amount the company has announced it would buyback, the timing between buybacks, etc.
So I got to work and developed this simple historical buyback database for myself: https://stockbuybackshistory.com/ and I was looking for feedback from fellow investors on what I could focus on. Right now data goes all the way back to 2012. I included a graph with lines for every buyback the company has announced, so like Apple (https://stockbuybackshistory.com/aapl/): https://i.imgur.com/5q52Q0b.png which helps me see how consistent the company has been in doing so.
Any other feature you guys would like to see? I hope it provides some value to you guys aswell, as I really didn't find any (free) resource online that tracked this sort of thing.
Thanks for your input!
