Share buybacks can be a great use of capital, but only for the right price. Dylan Lewis and John Rotonti take a look at two companies that are expert capital allocators and one company that’s made some expensive buybacks. They discuss: - A common misunderstanding investors have about free cash flow - Why management teams often struggle at doing share repurchases well - How Apple became a “shining example” of superior capital allocation - One less-familiar company that’s executed buybacks well

Companies discussed: APPL, META, ORLY
