qoq growth doesn't necessarily create more buying pressure with analysts posting about stormy clouds. buy back is guaranteed money being poured into buying the stock. even with a bearish forecast, less shares outstanding will give a bump up to the models/price target.

Connect the dots, genius; all the buyback is doing is artificially inflating the numbers that they have been organically increasing every quarter.  If you're an analyst that thinks ASPs will drop by 80%, you're not going to give a flying f about a share buyback.  Target price of $33 instead of $30?  Whoopie.  The buyback is pointless and the market has said so considering it's still at a lower price than after it was announced.
