This excludes off-market share buybacks, buybacks from secondary-listed companies, and unit buybacks by S-REITs.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The S$1.91 billion surpasses the S$1.89\u202fbillion consideration over the full 2015 calendar year, with both years seeing buybacks notch higher amid broad volatility. The 8% STI drop in the first half of April alone coincided with one quarter of the total S$1.91 billion over the past 10 months.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>17Live Group has bought back S$6.2 million of its shares this year at an average price of S$0.925, representing 3.4% of its current market capitalisation. In a recent investor presentation, 17Live Group maintained its buyback programme, launched in December 2024, reflects its disciplined approach to capital deployment.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies often repurchase shares to support employee compensation plans or to deploy surplus capital more effectively. ACRA notes that buybacks can enhance key financial metrics such as Earnings per Share (EPS) and Return on Equity (ROE), take advantage of perceived undervaluation, and reduce the overall cost of capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For the first 10 months of 2025, 78 primary-listed companies in Singapore have collectively repurchased S$1.91 billion worth of shares on the open market\u2014up significantly from S$1.01 billion during the same 10-month period in 2024<\/strong>. This represents a new high for annual buyback considerations since the combined S$1.89 billion consideration in 2015. A bout of significant volatility was the common thread for both years. A 13% drop in the STI between August and September 2015 coincided with half of that year\u2019s total buyback value, while the 8% decline during the first two weeks of April contributed roughly one-quarter of the S$1.91 billion in buybacks so far this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/api2.sgx.com\/sites\/default\/files\/2025-11\/MU%20031125%20Pic%201.png\" alt=\"Primary-listed Buyback Consideration S$M\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Source: SGX (Data as of Oct 31, 2025).
