Blucora shares surged nearly +20% Tuesday, after the tech-enabled tax management & financial services company announced that it will spend $100 million on share buybacks, and that it plans to acquire tax-focused wealth management company 1st Global.
Chief Financial Officer Davinder Athwal said that Blucora is focused on debt reduction and investments towards achieving long-term organic growth. He indicated that the $100 million share repurchase program would be an additional tool to deliver value to shareholders, and is a part of the company’s cash redeployment strategy.
