Three S&P 500 stocks—General Motors, Southwest Airlines, and Tapestry—delivered exceptional buyback yields exceeding 10% in 2025. GM achieved a 10.8% buyback yield with $8.2 billion in repurchases and 53% stock gains. Southwest Airlines posted a 12.6% buyback yield with $2.75 billion spent, gaining 75% after opportunistic April purchases. Tapestry delivered a 10% buyback yield with $2.8 billion in buybacks and impressive 96% annual gains. However, the article cautions that buyback success depends on business quality, balance-sheet discipline, and reinvestment in core operations.
