Is it worth it to buy at 170 for buyback purposes. Gopi ji what is your buy avg. for this share
I have bought the shares in the early days after the buyback was announced. My average purchase price is ₹160.27. I think tomorrow will be the last date to buy if 28th is a market holiday. You may be able to buy @ 169/ or so. I don’t think buying above 170/ is worth except for tax exempt income. Good luck to you, Sahil ji.
AR for small shareholders-
Buyback – 15,20,000 shares
Quota for small shareholders- 15% i.e – only 2,28,000 shares
No. Small shareholders shares held 65,27,888
AR – 2,28,000/65,27,888 = 3.49%
Please Correct me if i am wrong.
Where did you get the figure of 65L shares held by small shareholders? Looking at teh annual report, even in the most extreme case, I don’t see the number of small sharholders > 30L or so. (That is, including people who own upto 5000 shares). In reality, it could be around 20L shares. So entitlement ratio will be around 10%. And AR will be somewhat higher.
It’s available on bse website under advance shareholding pattern
Hi, can anybody please explain me the difference between ER and AR
1. The Entitlement Ratio represents the proportion of shares that a shareholder is entitled to offer in a buyback, based on their existing shareholding in the company as on Record Date.
2. The Acceptance Ratio indicates the percentage of shares that are likely to be accepted by the company for a buyback from the tendered shares.
Thanks Umesh, can you give an example?
For example, when Piramal was doing its buyback, the enitlement ratio was 7 for every 47 shares for retail investors, i.e 14.9%. Even if every retail holder had tendered every share, it was guaranteed that 14.9% of the shares should be accepted. Acceptance was a bit shigher, around 25% for the shares tendered.
There is nothing in this script for single share holders, because of small margin of ₹30-40 in rupee terms. Needless to state that transaction cost will be more than the margin.
Gopi Sir, My humble suggestion is to also consider %age, like 30 is ~18% of current rate… So Rs 30-40 may be Ok for value of 160-165, specially considering 1 or 1.5 month only.
Anyway its personal choice…
I don’t dare to disagree with you Sumit ji in any manner whatsoever. I will continue to remember the recommendation you had made immediately after the buyback of Welspun Enterprises which I followed only partially and ran out of patience and sold it much earlier. Subsequently the script appreciated so much and went out of my reach. I am definitely going to hold on to KRBL for few months as suggested by you. Will continue to be a humble fan and admirer of you, like SRK Ji.
Gopi ji, its collective wisdom. And I re-read your messaege is about single share and therefore correct.
I would prefer to keep PEL instead of KRBL.
Welspun ent is still looking good and I have purchased 1000@263 in recent drop… Look at PE , simply magnificent…
Thank you Sumit ji. I will buy both again after LT buyback proceeds are received
Welspun ent
10% increase today :-))
As the price is low or say not in thousand so there is no load of single share and low price looks unattractive till you calculate in percentage so Chances of AR are slightly high.Its my perception. Others may differ
Sinclair appears to be a good bet now, specifically near 161-162, I have taken position of 1100 at 161.25.
Any fall in market can be used to buy it, as some stability is their due to buyback. But would not be of much usefulness at more than 170
Thanks for your views. Just made exit from the all previous buyback positions.
Will share my review in next couple of hours.
Expected ER for Small Shareholders – 10-12% Approx
Expected AR for Small Shareholders – 35-40% Approx
I thank both Sumit ji and Rohit ji for their priceless comments.
I bought around 1100 shares at 167. Will buy another 900 in next couple of days before the record date if price remain below 170. Also, as mentioned previously I have disposed off all the open position in equity for short term as I think market is at top. However I am still accumulating shares in small chunks for long term investment available at attractive rates.
Rohit ji, please consider that although Nifty is at all time high, but it has reclaimed it now after 19th July, it means this is a rebound and expected to go beyond.
Crude is the main spoiler else the current rally may go beyond 21500 Nifty atleast….
Its good to dispose buyback positions in profit, but shares like PEL could be continued…
These are only my personal opinions…
Sumit thanks for your message. As per my trading rule, if I purchase shares for the purpose of buyback then I get exit whenever excess tendered shares are available for sale (even in losses).
In regards to the Nifty, it is trading around 22 PE which I think is near to overbought zone. I love to invest in Nifty if it trades around 20 PE or lower. Also, Nifty Midcap and Nifty Smallcap are trading at lifetime high PE so the investor has to be cautious.
I have not done any financial analysis on PEL but I do not bet on the finance sector at the moment due to the entry of Jio in the long term. I do have a lot of scripts where I am already making more than 50% and have opted for monthly SIP. Long-term means remaining invested for at least a period of more than 5 years.
Thanks Rohit ji for sharing.

Sumit ji,
Your post has inspired me to purchase more shares. Placed order @Rs.165/-. Let me see whether the order will be executed. Thank you once again.
