Engineers India Limited buyback starts on Jan 22nd and closes on Feb 5th. Settlement date is Feb 15th. AR would be hopefully more than 70%. Thanks.
I am still holding 500 share what can I do ? sell on Monday or hold for 450. Thanks in advance
No one is GOD to predict correct price. IT stocks are doing good. You are getting good price anyway. If you have long term view, you can hold and get double value in 2-3 years. If your view is short, better book profit and enjoy. Budget is around the corner and you will see huge fluctuations.
Sir, you better keep target to sell 200 @ 440, 200 @460 and hold the balance of 100 for at least one year for good price. Thank you.
Thanks SIVARAMAKRISHNA sir
Already crossed Rs. 440/-
Today it touched more than Rs.460/-.
Still hold 400 share. wait for today for result announcement ?
Hdfc sec is allowing to cancel the bids, but edelweiss is refusing the same
Ideally I should wait or cancel my bid for my retail quota shares,
As my broker says if I cancel my bid, I will only be able to sell after 20th, is it true?
Yes your shares will remain blocked till settlement date
Sir, if you are not in need of money in near future, please hold the shares for the target of Rs 460 within three or four months. Thank you.
Already touched 451/-
Today it touched more than Rs. 460/-
Fly fly Rs 428.. to Buyback price of Rs 400/-
Only holding 25 now..
I have a piece of advice to those who are thinking of tendering the shares at 405.
Pls don’t esp because you will need to pay 15.6% stcg or 10% ltcg tax on the gains you make.
So unless you get a min of 410-15 ( assuming one bought at abt 340-350 rs), you really could be better of tendering shares in buyback as income therefrom will be 100% tax free.
Zerodha has allowed cancellation of Wipro buy back order till 2.00pm on 11.01.2021
Sold all @ 415
Congratulations!
Kya ham bid ko cancel kar sakte he?
Yes you can, but your shares will remain blocked till buyback settlement
I am facing similar issue.
I cancelled the buyback application in Zerodha easily but in ICICI direct dont see that option.
Any detailed steps will help.
Please contact your broker and ask them how you can do that.
Thanks Umesh.
I contacted my broker ICICI direct and they say they cannot cancel as the status shows executed. Not sure as what other options I have.
One of my friend successfully cancelled through Zerodha account.
Even in the case of SBI Securities, I am unable to cancel the buyback bid as the authorities of SBI told that I cannot as it was already accepted.
Wipro TCS and Infy rallying and so supporting NIFTY and SENSEX now 🔥🔥🔥

Please comment on buyback acceptance ration of Indian Toners Developers ..
Hoping for 100% acceptance in wipro buyback and it also looks that wipro share crosses 400 mark before the closure of the buyback window. Because many sharehoders exited at 385
Rohit ji, thank you very much for your contribution. It appears 99% possibility for 100% Acceptance Ratio regarding buyback of Wipro shares also in retailers category.
Wipro crosses Rs 400/-.
Now only one can tender for buy back for tax planning purposes
Can someone tell me about Indian Tonner buy back ? Is it worth to buy ?
it is worth to buy @ 115 level……Buy back prive 160
Anyone who is looking to participate in the buyback will never get this price…at the most I got 118…that to surprisingly on the day that new covid strain was discovered. available CMP is not advisable for entry as it will fall surely after the ex date.

Can any body guide me surely about that I got 500 shares of Wipro as on record date and got the entitlementbof 234 shares for tendering for buy back as per offer letter received.
In case the shares have been sold, can the shares be bought back from the market and be tendered now for buy back to avail the entitlement.
Yes you can. Calculate the cost of transaction and go ahead.
For TCS buy back acceptance ratio is 40% as mentioned in the offer letter received however it is expected to be 80 to 90% looking the present price of Rs.2930/- quoted yesterday.
Generally The acceptance ratio is higher than Entitlement ratio right?

I have actually 5400 shares as on record date
4 to 4.5 % entitlement ratio
So Wipro is the laggard and fallen today after closure of the record date….
Price may spurt near to the end of buyback period, to be declared…

Only max 5% as you are not in retail.

*Wipro buyback*
Expected Entitlement : 45-50%
Expected acceptance : 75-80%
Note – Those holding upto 565 shares on record date will be considered as small (retail) shareholders
Hey,its 11 and I can’t see window on my zerodha Console. When will it open?
11.12.2020 is the record date to know the eligibility of Wipro. The buyback open dates have not been announced as yet.
Can anybody tell me what will be the rate per share for buyback consideration as of 11/12/20 (record date) and how many maximum shares can a retail hold based on that rate to be still eligible for the reserved(retail) category ..
Dear Brothers,
Still I haven’t received the tender form from WIPRO, did any got it?
Normally companies announce schedule of buyback after approx two weeks from record date(Wipro record date for buyback is 11.12.2020) after that they are sending offer letter through email to all the shareholders who are holding shares as on record date,
So till then have patience.
Can i buy shares of Wipro today ie 09th Dec to be able to participate in Buyback
Hi
Hi, I am new to Share Market. I am holding 150 shares in WIPRO, planning to participate in BuyBack. Don’t know how to apply. Please guide me. I have asked my broker, they are saying need to submit tender notice. Searched in NET but no clue. Please guide me steps to do that. I am using GROWW app.
Please keep calm and wait for the buyback window to open, which will take time. Once it is opened then you can tender shares via your broker app.
Last purchase date for buyback ????
09/12 is Cum date
10/12 ex date
11/12 Record Date
Check in your Demat Account on 11/12 EOD…
If shares sold after 9/12 , do not do Payin uptill 11/12 EOD
It is 11th of December.
Is it worth to buy wipro now @ 360 for buyback ?
Yes, why not. Still, a 10% upside is there. 50% chances of acceptance. so a 50% risk.
Adesh sir, please tell that how much maximum shares ( numbers of shares) we can buy to eligible in retail category ??
Up to 2 lakh worth shares are considered as retail category.
Rs 2 lacs worth of shares on record date I.e. 11.12.2020
Max 500 shares on safer side.as 2lac/400=500
Indprud has any buyback news ?
Very low volume traded share…
Possible to be stuck…
Better to avoid
Indprud has any buyback news ?
4% Tender offer at Rs 1200/- while current Market price is 993.
Retail investors are 28% i.e. while 15% of 4% i.e. 0.6% would be accepted, 28% can apply.
Leading to ER at 2.14% which is very small…
Max 10-20% acceptance possible…
No idea about stock history..
Adesh sir , what will be the minimum acceptance ratio for retails as per the shareholders having less than 500 shares and 15% of total buyback..plz provide the data just as you did in tcs buyback forum …plz sir
Sorry for late response because I do not access this app daily.
I think you could expect abt 50% buyback and if the price firms up beyond 275 ( as it is going up now), then we could expect a higher acceptance.
If it remains below 350 at the time of actual buyback duration, then I think we could even land up with 40% acceptance.
Now it depends- if you are a long term investor and choose not to sell the unaccepted shares for atleast one year, I do not think you would regret
Thanks alot sir…but what would be the minimum acceptance as per the shareholding report …plz explain as you did in tcs if possible ..it helped alot
..plz sir
Indprud has any buyback news ?
There are so many variables, I would suggest not to get into any share just for Buyback, if you are not sure of details.
Following should be clear:
1. Buyback process- Tender or Market
2. Rate of Buyback- %age more than current Market price.
3. possible Acceptance ratio, which can be understood by looking at the Retails share holders and the size of the buyback..
Happy investing
For Wipro 15% is reserved for retail category. Is there any benefit for such investors? How does acceptance shares work in such cases?
Yes. Retails category investors get more benefit.
Keep in your demat account shares worth less than 2 lac market value to be eligible as a retail investor.
Then Participate in the buyback.
You will get a better buyback acceptance because of the 15% reservation.
In this case, you can expect abt 50% acceptance.
Please reply my query sir that i had 1739 shares in my demat account as on record date and out of them I sold 1289 shares and bought 50 shares after record date , currently I am holding 500 shares including 50 shares bought after record date, if I tender full 500 shares including additional 50 shares ( bought after record date) in buyback, will my submission get recjected Or not because I am tendering additional 50 shares bought after record date, please reply.
I want to know that Can I tender more share in respect of eligible share for buyback means suppose I have 1000 share of any company before record date and my eligible share for buyback as per accepting ratio of 50% is 500 , can I tender full 1000 share for buyback.
Yes
Company will accept shares based on final acceptance ratio
How much time it takes in returning of unaccepted share in demat account.
Abt 10-15 days
Now a days 4 to 5 days after the closing of last days..
Wipro buyback – December 11 is the record date
Wipro buyback –
Postal ballot result has been announced by company on exchanges.
Now record date may come any time on exchange
Expected Record Date? @ Market Wizard
Sometime in Dec
Just a rumour
Nothing concrete
Expected RD around 5th Dec 2020. (Record Date)
Now buy or wait for buy back purpose ?
Last time out of 977 shares offered 47 shares accepted
This is incorrect
Why you are saying this is incorrect. Person holding more than 600 shares would be in general category. What was the acceptance for general category last time?
Adesh Sir, what was the expected ratio last year for retail category?
52%
I just wanted to know what will be the acceptance ratio for retail small investors
Total Buyback 4.16 %
15% reserved for retail investors as per SEBI = 0.624 % of total equity
<2 Lks investors as on Sep'20 – 2.26 % (Might go up since a lot of new small investors may like to buy shares for Buy back)
Minimum acceptance ratio = 27.6 % (provided 2.26% shouldn't go up & all retailers render their shares for buyback)
* Experts may please correct me if data is wrong.
About 50%
bought 250 shares at 342 for buyback lets see how it goes will keep you guys updated.
What acceptance ratio you expect
Likely to be 50%
Any information on the record date and Buyback date of Wipro ?
Acceptance ratio should be around 50℅
Start Accumulating Friends around 340 – 42 level nothing to worry.
*Motilal Oswal Financial Services on Wipro buyback:*
Retail investors, looking for a short-term opportunity, can buy the shares of Wipro (up to the value of Rs 2 lakh – as on the record date) from the open market and tender them in the buyback offer.
“Based on the last two buybacks of Wipro and very low retail shareholding, we expect the acceptance ratio to remain high in the range of 40-60 percent which could give a potential return of 7-11 percent (pre-tax) with a time frame of 2-3 months (assuming one is able to sell the remaining un-tendered shares at the current levels of about Rs 340),” Motilal Oswal said.
https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/markets/stock-markets/wipro-buyback-how-to-benefit-from-arbitrage-opportunity/article32894489.ece
one can start accumulating Wipro from here @340 for buyback purposes. and add slowly till 325.
price is 17% lower than BB price of 400.
Last time buyback price was Rs. 325/- and buyback size was Rs. 10500 Cr.
Last time the buyback happened, the acceptance ratio was 52% I think. This time the size is lesser.
I do not expect the acceptance ratio to cross 50% this time as well. The price at which the in accwpted shares were sold was abt 10-15% below. So for safety ( and wipro takes longer to buyback so money remains stuck longer), I think even 350 is not a good price to buyin, unless one is extremely bullish otherwise on wipro. 325 range is safer
Can you explain how the accepted shares were sold at a price lower than the fixed buyback price? As it was a tender offer, so the price fixed by the co, would be the price at which shares would be bought back, right?
YES, the shares which are not taken by the company have to be sold into the open market after the buyback finished. he is talking about that shares.
Ayush. That was the autocorrect error.
I meant unaccepted shares were sold in the mkt at that price
Okay sir, now i understand
Ya,
U are right..last time the acceptance ratio was 52%
And this time the buyback size is also less as compared to previous one!
Last time out of 977 shares offered 47 shares accepted
Pls do not. Mislead
He is not misleading. there are two categories general and reserved.
Promoters are also going to participate in buyback. In view of this , what is expected entitlement ration for retail investors.
Cracked 6%today
Should we invest
Looks a good buy from the perspective of Buyback
Wipro ADR down by 2 5%.
