Implications for the stock market
The Eni buyback has aroused significant interest among investors. Buying treasury shares tends to reduce the number of shares outstanding, thus increasing the value of the remaining shares. This mechanism can lead to an increase in the share price, making Eni an attractive option for long-term investors. In addition, Eni’s decision to invest in a buyback is seen as a sign of confidence in its financial strength and in the prospects for future growth

optimism in the sector.
