Robert, EPS growth from stock buy backs sure mean a hell of a lot more to shareholders than do stock splits etc.
For one it means IBM is producing excess cash that affords it the luxury of annual buybacks.
Like you said, it aids the PE ratio which of course is the single best measure in valuing the stock.
The only ones who complain about it don't own the shares that are gaining in value.
