Gold.com, Inc. (NYSE:GOLD) shares are trading higher on Wednesday after the company announced an increase of up to 2 million shares in its stock repurchase plan. The stock is also rising alongside strength in gold and silver.
Gold.com’s board of directors authorized an increase in the number of shares which may be repurchased under the existing share repurchase program. Now, the company is authorized to repurchase up to two million shares of its outstanding common stock, in addition to the 1.3 million shares repurchased under the program as of last month.
“The increased repurchase authorization reflects our board’s confidence in the underlying strength of our business and our ability to generate long-term value,” said Gold.com CEO Greg Roberts. “We will continue to deploy capital thoughtfully, balancing strategic investment with opportunities to return capital to our shareholders.”
GOLD stock is trading 5.7% above its 20-day simple moving average (SMA), the stock’s average price over the last 20 sessions, which suggests short-term pressure is turning back upward. It's also 13.7% above its 100-day SMA, indicating the intermediate trend still leans constructive despite recent volatility.
Moving average convergence divergence (MACD), a trend/momentum measure, is showing a bullish setup with the MACD at -2.6675 above the -2.8681 signal line, which hints that downside momentum is easing. That said, the stock is still 8.7% below its 50-day SMA, a sign the rebound hasn't fully repaired the prior breakdown.
