What it does
Before-and-after EPS and a cash opportunity-cost reconciliation. Public equity and share counts. Illustrative figures. Spending $100 million at $20 removes five of 50 million shares. Lost cash income is $5 million, so EPS moves from 100/50=$2 to 95/45=$2.111111. The arithmetic alone cannot establish fair repurchase value.
