eClerx Services announced a 300crore buyback at Rs. 4500 a share which is 1% premium over it’s CMP on 24Th October… Not at all a lucrative buyback.. Stock likely to fall on Monday
🙂 how funny they set this price, i mean who will tender their shares for 1% gain.. considering all this new Tax implications… also looks like there will be 1 month of voting period.
promotor not participating.
What could be the estimated ER and AR in both the categories?
Expert’s can say , it will be useful for taking the positions
U believe that the board is doing this buyback under pressure.. The company should be investing in AI rather than capitalising it’s reserves… So, AR will be low especially in general category… In reserved category, I think maximum 30%
What is the difference between general category and reserved category ? Does general category refer to retail one and reserved category refers to HNI One ??
Since promoters are not going to participate under which category would be more AR and what will be that ??
Finally in order to go into HNI category we need to have at least 112 shares [200000/1800 – > 111] before record date is that correct ?
Gentlemen, in order to do a fair chance to small shareholders.. It is required that 15% of the total buyback size must be reserved for shareholder having shares worth less than 2Lakhs…this is to ensure that the buyback benefits to retailers as well and not to only Institutes… Most of the times, AR for reserved category is more than general category.. But sometimes, like that in Tanla 2025,AR for general can exceed reserved due to excess participation by retail
INFOSYS — Promoters to Skip ₹18,000 Cr Buyback 🔵
It will benifit HNI people as their A.R will better now.
Promoters have informed that they will not participate in forthcoming Buy back of Infosys
Certainly a good news
very good news.
But since promotor holding is only 14% , because of no participation, ER will just increase by 0.5% for general category.
Will Buyback Corporate action have any impacts on F&O ? like Extraordinary dividends have impact on F&O prices
No, buybacks do not directly adjust F&O prices or lot sizes like extraordinary dividends do. However, they can still indirectly affect F&O premiums, IV, and market behavior especially near the buyback record date or announcement. I could be wrong other members can enlighten on this….
Thanks for the response and the details.
Yash ji,Rachit ji,and all the respected members, thanks for all the knowledge and guidance u are providing.
Wishing you all a happy and prosperous diwali 💫
eClerx Services Limited to consider proposal for buy back on 24-oct-25
I think The max buyback can be 550crores which is small for a 20k crore company… If it gets approve, it’ll be somewhat 2-3% of total equity
Last Year AR was 15%
Now will be around this only or lower.
Wait for size and buyback price.
Yash bhai tomorrows price expectations??
Looking at last year (16 May 24) opened gap up, speculation often drives the stock up traders anticipate a premium buyback price. But can backfire as well (Companies may adjust prices as seen in past) Its a wait and watch for me until the meeting outcome.
Wh
Wha, what a superb comment bro. This one crossed the buyback price today. Poised for a crash in the coming sessions unless the manipulaters manage to prevent that…
Infosys result: what else needed 🙂 …. QoQ, YoY profit, revenue increased, good dividend announce, buyback on the way , Revenue guidance increased… i feel stock will reach buyback price soon..
ADR Down 2%
yes, i just saw that. Any reason why ?
Maket don’t like it
Can we expect a fall Tommorow on 17 oct??
Infosys Q2 results: Net profit jumps 13% to Rs 7,364 crore; announces Rs 23 dividend. Operating profit for the quarter came in at Rs 9,353 crore, an 8.1 per cent increase from the year-ago period.

_RECORD DATE_

Rachit sir, Yash bhai and other members what are the chances that the bb will approved by shareholders???
I’d put the chance of shareholder approval very high 80-90%. Only ~10 crore shares / ~2.41% of paid-up equity, so it’s not a huge capital-structure change that would alarm investors. Tender-offer buybacks at a premium are typically welcomed. In India, almost all large-cap IT buybacks (Infosys, TCS, Wipro, HCL Tech) in the past decade have been approved because they reward shareholders. Infosys generates significant free cash flow. It has a policy of returning a large share (≈ 85%) of its free cash flow over multi-year periods via dividends, buybacks, or special payouts.
Chances of approval by shareholders are almost 100%. However, this buyback does not appear very lucrative, as I expect higher participation from small shareholders, particularly due to the single-share strategy. Consequently, the Acceptance Ratio (AR) is likely to be lower, especially if the price difference between the buyback price and the trading price (TP) exceeds 10% prior to the buyback opening.
You are right ranchitji, Given the hype and the high premium, oversubscription is very likely, which pushes the acceptance ratio lower. If oversubscription is heavy the actual ratio may lean toward the lower side of that range (5-10 %). Would love to know your view on non-retail or passing this one.
What is the maximum percentage of Infosys’ share buyback, and does it represent a good investment opportunity?
Record date expected around november 14
E voting complete on 04.11.2025
Trading @1445 any suggestions
can start building positions but you need to get in mind that it will take at least 2.5-3 months for Infy to complete the process…. alternatively, we can wait until resolution to pass
Ok sir for 2-3 month it will be a good swing candidate
Seems the purpose of Infosys Buyback is to give exit to Large Investors.
It seems Buyback will only happen in 2026.
Wait for quarterly results for Sep and Dec before taking a position for Buyback.
Price may correct even below 1400 after results.
very true gentleman…now, even i think that this buyback is to boost share price in the short term and give exit to shareholders.. now that 50% of there revenue is in danger, price is falling and hence institute is pressurizing the board
Infosys is not initiating it’s E-voting for Special Resolution… I think the board’s buyback news was just to stabilise the price
can anyone answer this? is something fishy ? there are some views like at Finshorts opposing infosys buyback .. lets wait and watch
Where can we see the price in coming week?
expert pls give opinion 1350-1400-1450
Is it Right time to buy in parts
Added at 1482 today
Will more at 1450 as there is a gap near This level
“If Infosys or TCS had to spend ₹88 lakhs per person every year on their US employees, it wouldn’t be practical. For just 8,000 H1B holders, Infosys would need ₹8,800 crore annually — almost equal to their quarterly net profit ☹️. Not sure if my calculations are right, but it seems like a very bad time for Indian employees in the US and for the Indian IT companies.’’
On Trump Recent Executive Order
Price Movement expected at Infosys on Monday , let’s see
Tomorrow we can expect a good downfall in its price
the company is not initiating the e-voting for the resolution… any update on when it can happen?
Expert’s can say what would be the AR in retail and general category?
Which category is best to participate?
And what will be the record date?
30% is the safe zone I’m expecting
Is If i am in tax slab of 30 % than what will happend
If you’re in 30% slab… You’ll have to pay 30% in the entire amount received as buyback prize.. Plus a 4% Cess on such tax amount.. Better to ignore it altogether
Please give the views if I am in 30 % tax slab ??
Clear cut avoid
Good
What will be the aprrox timeline for the buyback?
Record date?
What should be expected price range for buy
Buy near 1450 if you are in Zero Tax Category
Good
