If a company had:

3.9B outstanding shares Dec 31, 2021 at $42/sh ($160B market cap)

3.2B outstanding shares Dec 31, 2024 at $67/sh ($214B market cap)

Having made $12B in share buybacks each of 2022, 2023, and 2024 ($36B total).

What is the ROI calculation on $36B?

How do you analyze the relationship of the $36B buybacks, the 0.7B less outstanding shares, and $54B increase in market cap?

How do you assess if buyback ROI beat foregone alternative investment choices?
