David,

Indeed, differential tax treatments are usually the main reason why corporations choose buybacks over cash dividends. As for the future earnings distributed over fewer shares, I first thought the same too till CTC pointed out my error. Think of it this way, calculate the NPV of all future earnings and then treat that as a fixed asset outside of cash. After that, the same analysis that I had presented earlier shows that share price should remain same if the buyback price is equal to the market price.
