When a company announces stock buybacks at earnings, is that something that has already happened and they’re just informing people of it? Or currently ongoing at the time? Or would happen at a date in the future?

You need to read the release and/or filings. But generally announcing a new buyback facility means it will happen in the future.

for the small caps. a company could have previously announced it had a share buyback plan.

and earnings is a good time to get an update from them on if or how much of that program they’ve used.

some the little poo poo co’s i like will sit on multi million dollar buy back plans for years with out using any of it which can be frustrating for me. person who like to speculate on tiny poo poo co’s

also fun small cap stuff. have an open buy back plan. not use any of it when the price is low. Then announce a new at the money share offering! at massively discounted share prices!
