In the dynamic world of investing, certain opportunities stand out, presenting a chance to shape your financial future. Today, we bring you exciting news tailored to our clients who held TCS shares as of November 25, 2023.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India's IT behemoth and a global leader in technology services, has announced its share buyback plan. Remarkably, this is the second such initiative in two years that TCS, a company known for its robust financial health and innovative edge, has opted for this shareholder-friendly move.
Understanding a Share Buyback
Before we dive into the details, let's demystify what a share buyback entails. In a share buyback, a company repurchases its own shares from the market. This often results in increased value for the remaining shares due to the reduced number of shares in circulation.
The TCS Share Buyback: A Closer Look
Buyback Price: ₹4,150 per share, a generous leap from the current market price of approximately ₹3,500.
Buyback Period: The offer is open from December 1, 2023 to December 7, 2023.
Scale and Structure: The buyback plan involves 40,963,855 shares, amounting to ₹17,000 crores.
Record Date: The eligibility for this buyback is determined as of November 25, 2023.
Entitlement Ratio:
▪️ Small Shareholders: 1 out of every 6 shares held on the record date.
▪️ General Category: 2 out of every 209 shares.
Why Leap at This Opportunity?
Profit Perspective: Selling at a premium ensures an immediate gain, offering a tangible return on your investment. In this case, shareholders have an opportunity to sell shares at approximately 20% premium.
Tax Efficiency: Unlike selling shares on the open market, gains from tendering shares during a buyback are tax-free in the hands of shareholders. In the case of share buyback by both listed/unlisted companies, tax is levied on the distributed income in the hands of the company.
Valuation and Volume: The buyback may elevate the value of remaining shares, thus augmenting the overall worth of your portfolio.
Diversification and Dynamism: The cash influx from the buyback could be your key to unlocking new investment avenues, further diversifying and strengthening your financial holdings.
