Barclays strategists said that the scale of European corporate stock buybacks is higher than usual. A number of announced repurchase plans have yet to be implemented, which will be an important favorable support for the region's stock market. According to a research team led by Emmanuel Maconga, the scale of buyback execution in July was much higher than the seasonal average, and the financial, industrial and energy sectors were the most active. Strategists expect a positive inflow of buyback funds after the summer. According to the rules of the past, after the quiet period of financial reporting ends, corporate repurchase demand restarts, which often boosts European stock market performance. The strategist pointed out that more than 60% of the announced repurchase plans have yet to be implemented; at the same time, corporate performance was improving in the second quarter, the market is optimistic about annual earnings per share growth, and the company has sufficient available capital.
