The S&P 500 Buyback Aristocrats ETF (BUYB) targets companies that haven’t just repurchased shares occasionally—but have done so consistently for at least 10 consecutive years. These companies have typically demonstrated strong cash flows, high profitability, and disciplined capital management throughout the business cycle. This video explores how companies that consistently buy back their own stock can help increase earnings per share and support stock prices over time.

What if you could invest in companies that consistently invest in themselves? 

Meet BUYB, the ProShares S&P 500 Buyback Aristocrats ETF. 

BUYB invests in a select group of S&P 500 companies that have consistently repurchased their own shares. 

When companies buy back their own shares, they reduce the number available, so each remaining share represents more ownership. That can help increase earnings per share and potentially support stock prices over time. 

BUYB focuses exclusively on S&P 500 companies with at least ten consecutive years of completed stock buybacks. 

These companies have typically demonstrated strong cash flows, high profitability, and disciplined capital management throughout the business cycle. 

Companies that consistently buy back their own stock have tended to outperform those that haven’t.¹  

BUYB offers a simple way to access this high-quality segment, all in a single ETF. 

For investors seeking performance potential, quality companies, and exclusive exposure — BUYB.
