That is one reason why Dell and the BEST BUY founder are taking their companies private; they consider the stock to be undervaed and that they can reengineer the company for future growth that will make it more valuable. Later they can refloat the company and rake in big bucks then.
Buy low, sell high.

(Strictly-speaking it is a form of "insider trading", but a legal one since it is based on public data and personal opinion. )

First the money was earning!

Second, investment in outside products is always available.

Third, investment in "content."

4th, investment in internal software development.

My own feelings about share buy back is that it is for political reasons. Keeping the shareholders happy.

STEVE JOBS DIDN'T THINK HE HAD TO DEIGN TO INDULGE IN THIS KIND OF PAP.

... but Steve is gone, isn't he, and there hangs the tale -- an inevitable decline.

Is political the same as avoiding a legal battle?
