Strong History of Stock Buybacks over the past 10 years
DCI has a strong history of delivering increased value for shareholders in the form of stock buybacks.
These have helped improve financial metrics and increase each shareholders' relative ownership stake in the company, due to fewer shares outstanding and holding the same number of shares.
