    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.

      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

    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

    “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.’’

    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?

      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
