My other dumb question is: If the shares are reduced and the earnings stay the same, would not the EPS move up.

Yes.

And wouldn't a higher EPS tend to move the stock price up?

You only asked for an answer to one question. I've run out of answers! <G>

Best,

Only if a higher EPS is computed from the number of outstanding
shares before any buy back. Current stock price is already
priced in the buy back. This doesn't mean that PAIR won't go any
higher.
