Value trap?
With no clear path to revenue growth in sight, will investors settle for a company that has consistently stable profit margins but little or no earnings growth? Sure, share buybacks can be accretive to earnings and could even enhance shareholder returns, but I’m seriously doubtful that investors will buy into the idea that a stock is a good investment based on buybacks alone.

As a long-term Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) investor myself, I’m seriously thinking about heading for the exits.
