Buying back the stocks is a smart business move when the stock price is temporarily down. Later when it goes up, the company has some working capital that they can use in a variety of ways.

The problem comes if they soon claim to be broke, and out of cash. Then, they will require some kind of tax-money bailout, while they are simultaneously giving their executives stock bonuses.
