Share buyback
When a company uses its own cash to buy its shares in the market. With fewer shares left, each remaining one owns a slightly bigger slice of the business. It is another way, besides dividends, to return money to shareholders.
In pesos: If a company split into 100 shares buys back 10, each of the 90 left owns 1/90 of the business instead of 1/100: your slice grew without you buying anything.
