A company has 100 shares and $100 in earnings, that’s $1/share in earnings. Assuming a 20 P/E ratio, each share would sell for about $20.

Now, the company buys back 20% of shares, reducing the number of shares to 80. Those same $100 in earnings are now $1.25/share. And at 20 P/E, that’s a share value of $25.
