surpassing estimates on both the top and bottom lines. Additionally, the company has authorized an up to $1.0 billion share buyback program for investors.
The Russell 2000 though, is falling pretty much in line with the S and P 500 guess what volatility is ticking back up as well as we see this selling.That's right, Julie, it was only yesterday that I was noting that volatility actually bottomed a few days ago and it's been trending up even though on Wednesday or excuse me, Tuesday and Wednesday, we also had stocks large trending up as well.
So when rates come down, bonds typically do better than cash, we're looking at starting to move some of that cash into diversified bonds and you don't have to time it.You can just start moving it step by step.Let me ask you about the big event this week that, that so many investors have been focused on is tomorrow morning, Jay Powell Jackson Hole.Markets are pricing in three even four cuts and you know what Powell wants, I think he wants to satisfy the markets.
I say Sebastian, I reached out to him yesterday and there's a lot of um potential differences in the financial sector. And in his words, he was saying, listen, great company but in a very tough spot here, you know, tough, tough market, tough backdrop to be operating in well. I, I do know some on the street, Julie were actually already kind of looking through this print and they were more interest in the company's uh analyst day next month.But um interesting, interesting reaction so far.Uh jewelry, obviously friend of the show.
