Question about Cash flow statment and Sale Purchase of Stock?

cash flow
Andy asked:


In the Cash Flow statment, under Total Cash Flows From Financing Activities I see there is negative 3,868,000,000 next to Sale Purchase of Stock.

The company is Dell.

My questions are;
What is Sale Purchase of Stock?

What does the negative 3,868,000,000 mean about the company (DELL)?

Thank you

    It means they are buying back a net $3,868,000,000 of their own stock. If they were selling more stock (than they bought back) it would be a positive number
