Returns share-buyback / stock-repurchase activity in one of two modes:
- CROSS-MARKET (no ticker): latest reported buybacks across all companies,
sorted by dollar amount spent (largest first). Use for 'biggest buybacks',
'top repurchase companies'. A single company may appear multiple times for
different fiscal quarters.
- PER-TICKER (ticker provided): historical quarterly buyback series for one
ticker. Use for 'AAPL buyback history', 'MSFT repurchase trend'.
Args:
ticker: Optional. If provided, returns the per-ticker historical series.
If empty, returns the cross-market list.
limit: Cross-market mode only — max rows (default: 25, max: 100).
page: Cross-market mode only — page number, 1-based (default: 1).
Returns:
Cross-market mode: { totalCount, data: [{ ticker, companyName,
fiscalPeriodEndDate, stockEarningsDate, eps,
marketCapUSD, totalValueSpentToRepurchaseShares,
epsCurrencyTypeCode }] }.
Per-ticker mode: quarterly time series, chart-ready as a bar or
line plot of buyback spend over time —
[{ date, marketCapEndFiscalPeriod,
totalValueSpentToRepurchaseShares,
ratio (decimal — buyback / market cap) }, ...].
