Meaning of Treasury Stock : Treasury stock, also known as treasury shares or reacquired stock refers to previously outstanding stock that is bought back from stockholders by the issuing company.

These shares are issued but no longer outstanding and are not included in the distribution of dividends or the calculation of earnings per share (EPS).
