Embassy Bancorp plans to buy back as much as $5 million of its common stock.

Bethlehem-based Embassy, the parent company of Embassy Bank for the Lehigh Valley, said in a statement that this is its first repurchase program.

Share repurchases can create demand for a stoc, and reflect management confidence in a company’s prospects. The Embassy buyback program starts Oct. 31, and as is the usual case with buybacks, the bank has not committed to buying any specific number of shares.

Shares of Embassy are traded over-the-counter under the ticker symbol EMYB. The price was $17.54 at 10:44 a.m. today. In the past 52 weeks, the shares have traded as high as $17.65 and as low as $14.26.
