Since Aug. 3, when the market began tumbling, 72 firms in the region have said they plan to buy back $2.8 billion of stock, according to CommScan, a New York securities-research firm.

Such action automatically increases per-share earnings because there are fewer shares outstanding by which to divide net income. And higher per-share earnings can boost a company's sagging stock price.
