This week, Cinthia Murphy, director of research for TMX VettaFi, appeared on Bloomberg's ETF IQ show. Here's a brief recap: Key Takeaways Despite NVIDIA announcing a $150 billion stock buyback plan, there are just two buyback ETFs.

Leave it to Nvidia to create buzz. This week, the company's announcement of a massive, history-making, $150 billion stock repurchase plan put buybacks back in the limelight.

I believe the Invesco Dynamic Buyback Achievers ETF is a Hold owing to its mixed performance and unappealing factor mix, which I expect to detract from its returns. PKW's financials-heavy portfolio has a high weighted average earnings yield and relatively low beta, a combination that is not supportive of alpha. PKW has underperformed IVV since the "methodology enhancement" in February 2025, mainly because of its weak upside capture.

Invesco Buyback Achievers ETF is upgraded from 'sell' to 'hold' due to improving value ETF fundamentals, despite skepticism about its buyback-driven strategy. PKW's methodology—adding/removing stocks based on a 5% buyback yield—misaligns with long-term company strategies, leading to questionable execution. PKW's fundamentals, including accelerating EPS growth and discounted P/E, are competitive but slightly lag peers in quality and growth metrics.

Invesco BuyBack Achievers ETF (PKW) offers deep value exposure by targeting companies with robust share repurchase programs and a pronounced mid-cap, financials, and consumer discretionary tilt. PKW trades at a 44% P/E discount to the Russell 1000, with sector allocations driving its value orientation and lower profitability relative to broad equity indexes. Despite lagging the Russell 1000, PKW has outperformed most value-oriented peers over 3- and 5-year periods, while exhibiting similar volatility and better downside capture.

Investors who want exposure to companies dedicated to buying back stock may like this Invesco ETF. The ETF employs a discerning methodology, ensuring components are reducing share counts.
