    Zydus Lifesciences Buyback : 95 Shares got Accepted Out of 200 Shares👍

    Retail Acceptance Ratio remained at 47.50%, Very Good Indeed as Entitlement was just 9%

    6th was the last date but 7th was written here due to which I forgot to order some shares

      Please don’t worry,it is likely to cross buyback price soon. I won’t be surprised if AR is 100 percent as it is.

    ZYDUS LIFESCIENCES – Retail AR Expected to be 50% (Initial Expectation was 20%)

    BAJAJ AUTO – 75,159 Bids Received on Day 1, Total Expected Bids 5,50,000 Approx

    Zydus and Kaveri Seeds Closed Today while BAJAJ AUTO Buyback has opened Today
    SOURCE GK

      I think it will be very high considering the present share price of 946. If price rises more, the acceptance ratio will be very high.

    entitlement ratio- 06 out of 67 shares i.e. around 9% which seems pretty good considering Buyback size.

      I didn’t buy on result day at 780 price thinking small size but now regretting deeply , I should have bought.

      It already run to 900 and even after buyback record date share is standing strong as it is.

      Missed the golden opportunity.

    Acceptance ratio theoretically for retail is about 27 percent.
    Practically need to see how it goes

    Buyback Size:- 59,70,149 no of Shares
    Buyback Price:- 1005
    Record Date:- 23rd Feb
    Reserved for retail:- 895522 no of Share

      At this current Price i.e. 804 and size of buyback it does not look like attractive. Hence AR may be increase as compare to previous buyback of Zydus.

      If the size is only.59 percent,even tendered single share may not get accepted. So no participation.

    @ TRINITY

    I have forecasted Minimum EER for following buy backs.

    Till now, actual ER has been more than forecasted Minimum ER in all 3 scripts, where offer letter is released

    (1) SIS – Correct
    (2) Elegant – Not Posted
    (3) Dhampur – Correct
    (4) Chambal – Correct
    (5) Garware – Not posted (didn’t get time)
    (6) Bajaj – awaited
    (7) Kaveri – awaited
    (8) Orbit – awaited
    (9) Zydus – awaited
    (10) Sherwani – awaited

    U might be confused with my Forecasted AR

    Yes,

    I was wrong in forecasting AR in
    (1) SIS
    (2) Elegant (Big HNI selling distorted entire calculation)

    I rechecked my all posts & then have posted this message

      I had missed SIS, but looking at the post below, actual ER was lower for both Dhampur and Chambal. The other two are not out yet:

      “Expected Minimum Entitlement Ratio for Small Shareholders (below Rs 2 lakhs):

      Dhampur Sugar Jan 2024: 2.25 %
      Kaveri Seeds Jan 2024: 30.04 %
      Chambal Fertilisers Jan 2024: 11.22 %
      Bajaj Auto Jan 2024 : 15 % “

      And for Elegant, I assumed you must have done some calculation to get a precise 39.23%

      “My presumption to participate in this buy back were:

      Entry price: below Rs 340
      EER: 39.23
      Conservative AR: 60
      Left over shares to be sold : any price above Rs 300
      Least possible Profit with above criteria: Rs 5720 against investment of Rs 1,75 lacs”

      @ TRINITY

      Dhampur: Difference of Only 0.17%
      Chambal: Difference of 4.07% (big difference- Agreed)

      (1) In Chambal, as on 31-3-23, there were less than 2.21 crore shares (small share holder category). In last 10 months, 1.05 crore shares were added to make total 3.26 crore shares (small share holder category), which became known only when company released letter of Offer.

      (2) Nobody has access to exact share holding pattern data (prior to Letter of offer), which one requires to estimate exact ER.

      If you or any other member have suggestions to improve EER model, then let me know, I will definitely analyse that way also.

      My Twitter id is : @aankit32

      (3) From Zydus & Shervani, I have started putting EER (based on data of 31-3-2-23). I hope that will help our community to make informed decisions.

      (4) Forecasting AR in scientific manner is very tough, as it requires ‘Guess work’ in 4 different variables. I know, it is effort in vain!

      (5) I am also waititng to know difference between Actual ER i& EER in remaining scripts so that certain improvements can be made.

        @ Aankit ji, the % difference between 2.25% and 2.08% is (2.08%-2.25%)/2.25% or 7.55%. That is still pretty good, but it has the same accuracy as a 22.5% prediction vs a 20.8% actual. If everything else was unchanged and the buyback size was 10x, I believe your model would have calculated 22.5% ER and the actual ER would have been 20.8%.
        1% vs 2% is a bigger miss than 21% vs 40%.

        As for modelling the ER in advance, I know there are too many unknowns and I can’t predict it with any degree of accuracy. From my perspective, it is not a very useful exercise. For me total expected return is more important . I hold a diversified portfolio of stocks and many times shares I already own have a buyback programme. Sometimes , pos

          * Sometimes post buyback date selloffs actually offer good opportunities to buy, like the recent selloff in Chambal during the tendering period where I bought up shares that seemed cheap.

          As more and more people get involved in buyback arbitrage , the expected return from the simple strategy of buying just before the record date and selling on the day shares are returned is getting smaller and can be negative in some cases.

    ZYDUS Lifesciences Buy Back July 2022 (Short Summary)

    Zydus Lifesciences Buy Back Feb 2024:

    Expected Minimum ER (based on data of 31-03-2023) : 8.60 %
    Expected Offer in Rupee Terms: more than 900 crore
    Expected Buy back price: Around Rs 1000

      Thank you very much.
      Very good buyback last one. At that time market price 360-375. BB price 650. Good premium. Lets see 2024 BB.

      At 900 crores and 1000/share buyback price, the buyback size will be less than 1%. I don’t see how the ER for small shareholders can be 8% in that scenario.

        @ TRINITY

        No of small share holders (as on 31st March 2023) is less than that of last time, hence EER will be more than Actual ER of 2022

        Sure, it will increase or decrease depending on Actual offer size & BB price

          Many like me who participated in the last buyback would have sold their shares before March 31 and will buy again before the record date for this buyback. What matters is the shareholding pattern on the record date. Based on the buyback size and price you have suggested, I see very little possibility of ER exceeding 8.6%.

            @TRINITY

            I have posted EER,

            Agreed that Actual ER will depend on many factors like overall Market trend, BB Price, Offer size, No of IPOs around record date, Difference in prevailing price & BB price etc

            EER will be one of the basic criteria, while taking entry in any script for BBA.

              Aankit ji, I am not sure how you compute EER, but, looking at the numbers you posted for other recent buybacks, unless I am mistaken, in all of them actual ER turned out to be lower than expected minimum ER you had posted. So, there seems to be a systematic upward bias in the model you are using for the calculations.
