Check the announcement below. Buyback is on the New York Stock Exchange. It should provide some support for the share price. So far they have bought back 89,800 shares with the intention to buy 3,589,653 more.

Stochastic shows short term oversold so it could be heading back up off current levels. Any more opinions welcome.
