Hyperion announces a stock repurchase plan. Authorizes an amount up to $100 million. With a 30.1 million share float, $100M would retire over 6 million shares at today's stock price, or close to 22% of the outstanding float.

I would expect them to dip their toes into the market quickly to gobble up cheap shares, then to provide support in the future.

This is good news, if they do indeed repurchase shares. On the other hand, they are under no legal obligation to follow through with the announcement.
