How much buybacks do tech stocks do?

2025 Apple - 100 billion alphabet - 55 billion Meta - 45 billion

These are roughly 2-2.5% of market cap.

Yeah, it's how you pay dividends at capital gains rate instead of income rate. But also, Apple is kind of stagnant.. if they had something better to do with the money they wouldn't be doing the buybacks.
