Shares of Abacus Global Management rose after the company said its board of directors authorized a $20 million stock buyback program.
Shares rose 7.4% to $8 as of Monday morning. The stock has gained 4.3% over the past 12 months.
Jay Jackson, chief executive of the alternative asset management company, said Friday that the repurchase authorization "reflects our confidence in the company's long-term strategy, financial strength and future growth prospects."
"Additionally, this program further positions Abacus for continued growth while enabling shareholders to benefit directly from strong and sustainable earnings," Jackson added.
The company said it expects to fund the program through a nomination of cash on hand and free cash flow.
The program became effective Friday.
