These 3 Dividend Stocks Are Buying Back Shares Hand Over Fist

There aren't often revolutions of thought in finance, but the move away from paying dividends and toward buying back stock has taken over the stock market over the past few decades. For most companies, dividends are taxed twice, once at the corporate level and then again at the shareholder level. Buybacks, on the other hand, increase each remaining shareholder's claim on the company's earnings and allows shareholders to choose how to sell stock to make the best decision for their own tax profile.
