    Friends, I am participating in TCS. Can you please suggest any other buyback that I can participate based on the current price and Acceptance Ratio.

      Yes, they are. The maximum number of shares which promoter will tender in the buyback is as below: –
      1. Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited – 16,80,550
      2. Gujarat State Investments Limited Promoter – 18,14.224

    I wish all the members of the family of INVESTOR ZONE , a very very happy, sparkling, colourful, successful n safe DEEPAAVALI.

      Yes. Since MTF shares are lying in Client beneficiary account and are pledged to Broker/Financier

      Yes, I think so. Generally, all the corporate actions benefit will be enjoyed with the beneficial holder.

        @Rohit sir …what can be the acceptance ratio….???
        i dont thnk many people participated in this …
        is it advisable to hedge it with FO.

          I sold all the shares in the open session today. Will buy it once the ER is declared. My buy price was 672 and I sold all the shares at 699 so already in profit. I hope ER of around 12%.
          Sorry, I haven’t checked the option prices in the last 4-5 days to hedge as it was very high when I was trying to hedge (after the buyback news)

        I was anticipating a price of Rs 775 and an offer size of Rs 826 crore for the buyback. Not bad.

            Gopi ji you were right.
            I have also moved out of gnfc after a small profit.
            For gnfc buyback to give decent profit it will need a very high AR.
            Im not ready to take that risk

              I am still in the trade. I have around 300 shares @ Rs 672. As the price hit the 52-week high today I think it is better to be in trade for another 2-3 days. I am taking a little bit of risk as I do not have any other opportunity.

    Atul limited
    BM ON 7.11.23 for buyback .
    Wait and watch till 7th evening

    Not buying until the outcome of the Board meeting is known. Hope to hear from those who are following up. Looking like a good one.
