What's the difference between stock merger and stock repurchase?
The essence of stock merger is to reduce the number of shares of the company by increasing the face value of the company's shares. Through stock merger, the number of shares in circulation can be greatly reduced, the face value and embedded value of new shares can be increased, and the market price of stocks can be raised.

Stock repurchase refers to the behavior of a listed company to buy back a certain number of shares issued by the company from the stock market in cash. After the stock repurchase is completed, the company may cancel the repurchased shares. However, in most cases, the company reserves the repurchased shares as "treasury shares", which no longer belong to the issued shares and does not participate in the calculation and distribution of earnings per share. Treasury shares can be used for other purposes in the future, such as issuing convertible bonds and employee welfare plans. Or sell them when you need money.
