Theoretically free float shares are less now. But as these shares are already out of market due to sustained slow buyback, therefore do not expect much change in price except for the one already going on due to bullish market.
Yes. There should be no expectation of a rally based on this information alone. There was a rally when the buy back was announced earlier in the year.
Does this mean that buying back and then cancelling shares would up the price of the remaining shares?
Yes. In general, it has a positive effect on the stock price.
