Boilerpipe Text	This summer saw a remarkable surge for a usually sleepy earnings season, exclusive data from EPFR show. Before this year, buybacks in the July/August (2Q) earnings season had never surpassed $6 billion a day. This year, buybacks averaged $7.2 billion daily through the season’s first six weeks. The number of announcements per day was also the second-most in the past decade. Observers have linked this phenomenon to two trends: strong earnings growth and tax cuts filling corporate coffers — and buybacks becoming a more appealing use of cash than investment given the unsettled global trade landscape. Looking at buybacks for all of 2025, the pace has been exceptional as it was in 2024. After setting a record $1.34 trillion in 2024, buybacks are on pace to surpass that historic total. With nearly four months left in the year, announced repurchases are approaching $1.1 trillion, averaging $133 billion per month. Even if activity slows to $70 billion per month through year-end, buybacks would still set a fresh annual record in 2025. (For perspective, the final four months of 2024 averaged just under $90 billion per month.) In dollar terms, the bulk of the buybacks have been concentrated in some big names.

After setting a record \$1.34 trillion in 2024, buybacks are on pace to surpass that historic total. With nearly four months left in the year, announced repurchases are approaching \$1.1 trillion, averaging \$133 billion per month. Even if activity slows to \$70 billion per month through year-end, buybacks would still set a fresh annual record in 2025.

These include conflict in the Middle East, stress in private credit markets, the threat of stagflation, rising sovereign debt levels and the ROI on the billions of dollars being spent developing artificial intelligence (AI) and its supporting infrastructure.

Investors remain reluctant to overreact, but the week ending March 11 saw them step up their repositioning in the face of sharply higher energy prices and the impact that may have on inflation. Funds dedicated to Europe, Turkey and India were among those hit by these shifts.
