has approved a massive share buyback worth ₹18,000 crore, via a tender-offer route. The company will repurchase 10 crore fully paid-up equity shares at ₹1,800 per share, representing about 2.41% of its paid-up equity. That buyback price is a ~19-20% premium over its recent closing price of ~₹1,510. Why this matters It’s Infosys’s largest buyback in a decade, signalling strong cash position and confidence from management despite macro headwinds. The move may help improve Earnings Per Share (EPS) since fewer shares will be outstanding. It boosts shareholder returns and is a positive signal to markets, especially as IT sector has been under pressure. Potential Impacts / What to Watch For In the short term, stock could see a positive reaction: demand may rise as shareholders seek to participate. PEERS like TCS, Wipro may come under pressure to match similar shareholder-friendly actions. IT sector indices could see upside support following this announcement, especially where valuation concerns had weighed. Long term, cost of capital, free cash flow stability, and revenue outlook will continue being key. If growth remains muted, expectations might adjust.
