Listed companies with solid fundamentals demonstrate operational growth momentum. In the face of financial market volatility, the execution of share buybacks allows for flexible adjustment of capital structures and serves as a response to the market’s undervaluation of the company. Recently, U.S. tariff measures have caused market fluctuations, prompting many companies to actively initiate share repurchase programs. If a listed company’s board of directors approves a buyback plan with the purpose of transferring shares to employees, and the execution rate is favorable, the Taiwan Stock Exchange will assess the company's performance. Upon approval by the Corporate Governance Evaluation and Advisory Committee, additional evaluation points may be awarded. This not only strengthens market recognition of a company's long-term value but also fosters a positive cycle that benefits the company, its employees, and its shareholders.
