FreightCar America Approves a $50 Million Buyback Program

CHICAGO (AP) -- Railcar maker FreightCar America Inc. said on Wednesday its board authorized a $50 million stock buyback program.
The company expects to begin share repurchases after it reports its fourth-quarter and full-year earnings on Feb.8.

FreightCar has 12.6 million outstanding shares.

Shares of the railcar maker gained 60 cents to $54.60 in premarket trading. FreightCar closed Tuesday at $54.00 on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

It is good news when a company shrinks its shares outstanding by about 10%. Now let us hope RAIL does not mess it all up by issuing options that will bloat the number of shares outstanding.
