My rational is that if the stock market had a drastic fall, it would be hard for a company's share price to maintain or even rise. Not impossible but hard. Although a good counter will fall less than the others.
Why I would want a share buyback is that we all know the company's present share price is way below its NAV and it would grow further when its site in Robin is launched. So why not make some good investment by buying its own share at present price. I am of the view that the stock market might have a drastic fall later and I doubt the price will hold then. It would be nice if company does a share buyback during then to increase shareholders' stake in the company(by reducing the number of shares) while 'supporting' the share price.

I am sure when the company is paying good dividend, a lot of people will know it, on the Edge or not, covering by analysts or not.
if by the rule of Peter Lynch, it is better no one knows about it if it is good.
but if the company does a share buyback to "support" share price, will you sell your share?
if not, it really does not matter that much what is the price and whether the price is supported or not when there is going to be a fall. It would be nice that the price is low enough so interested shareholders can buy more at lower price.
If yes, in a way, you are choosing trading over investing. There gotta be some consequences after that. Obviously, the company will not be in a position to improve the trading of its shares, but enhance its value. The share price could be undervalued for very long. Of course it is always nice to have a good exit so that we can look at other maybe even more undervalued counters as well, but everything has a price.
all assumptions are based you having the conviction that it is good and undervalued.
