TCS hits 52-week high, gains 1% in weak market on share buyback plan

Shares of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) hit a 52-week high of Rs 3,634.70, up 1 per cent on the BSE in Monday's intraday trade, in an otherwise weak market after the company announced that it will consider a proposal to buyback equity shares at the meeting to be held on October 11, 2023. The company made the announcement on Friday after market hours.

In comparison, the S&P BSE Sensex was down 0.64 per cent at 65,571 at 09:30 AM.

The last time TCS came up with a buyback plan was in 2022 March. The buyback share price per share was Rs 4,500 with a total buyback size of Rs 18,000 crore. The company completed its buyback programme between March 9 to March 23.

The buyback plan is in line with the TCS’ shareholder-friendly capital allocation practices of returning excess cash to shareholders, thereby increasing shareholder value in the longer term, and improving the Return on Equity.
