The increased buyback authorization (now $50M, ~9.8% of market cap) is a positive capital allocation signal, but the program is discretionary and does not obligate the company to repurchase any specific amount. Monitor future 10-Q filings for actual repurchase activity and any update on the strategic review the board mentioned.
