Can Tips Music's Rs 44 crore share buyback boost its share price? Here's what JM Financial says

The music company on Wednesday announced that its board approved a plan to buy back up to 5.9 lakh fully paid-up equity shares at Rs 750 per share through the open market route, implying a premium of nearly 12% from the stock’s previous closing price. Notably, this is one of the first buybacks announced via the open market route after the system was reintroduced by SEBI from August 1 onwards.

The open-market route implies that the company will purchase shares through the stock exchanges instead of inviting shareholders to tender shares at a fixed price, which happens in the tender offer route. Unlike the tender offer route, there is no record date or shareholder reservation, and participation is available to all shareholders selling through the market during the buyback period.
