Kathy is a financial analyst in Bidget Corp. As part of her analysis of the annual distribution policy and its impact on the firm's value, she makes the following calculations and observations:

-The company generated a free cash flow (FCF) of $123 million in its most recent fiscal year.

-The firm's cost of capital (WACC) is 13%. The firm has been growing at 5% for the past six years but is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4% in the future.

-The firm has 30.75 million shares outstanding.

-The comany has $328 million in debt and $205 million in preferred stock.

Along with the rest of the finance team Kathy has been part of board meetings and knows that the company is planning to distribute $60 million, which is invested in short-term investments, to its shareholders by buying back stock from its shareholders. Kathy also observed that, at this point, apart from the $60 million in short-term investments, the firm has no other nonoperating assets.

Based on you understanding of stock repurchases, identify whether the following statement is true or false:

"The stock price of a firm increases after the firm repurchases some of its shares."

This statement is (true or false) because if the stock price changes after a firm conducts its share repurchase, then there (will or will not be) arbitrage opportunities. Thus, the price of the stock remains the same after a repurchase.
