Cyient Announces Buyback of 64 Lakh Shares Worth ₹720 Crore at ₹1,125 Each
Cyient Limited is undertaking a buyback of up to 64 lakh equity shares at ₹1,125 per share, totaling ₹720 crore. The record date is June 17, 2026. Promoters will not participate. This move aims to return surplus funds to shareholders.
A buyback of this size can positively influence share price and EPS, but its impact is considered medium as it represents a relatively small percentage of the total equity and is a return of capital rather than a direct business expansion.
The buyback is generally viewed positively by the market as it indicates the company's financial health and its commitment to returning value to shareholders. It can also lead to an increase in EPS.
Cyient Limited has announced a buyback of up to 64,00,000 (Sixty-Four Lakhs) fully paid-up equity shares, representing approximately 5.76% of its existing equity share capital. The buyback will be conducted on a proportionate basis through the tender offer route at a price of ₹1,125 per equity share. The total amount for the buyback will not exceed ₹720 crore (Seven Hundred Twenty Crores).
The company's Board of Directors initially approved the proposal on April 23, 2026, and subsequently received shareholder approval via postal ballot results announced on June 10, 2026. The record date for determining eligible shareholders is set for Wednesday, June 17, 2026. Promoters, the promoter group, and persons in control have expressed their intention not to participate in the buyback.
The buyback is intended to return surplus funds to shareholders, enhance earnings per share, and provide an option for shareholders to receive cash or benefit from a potential increase in their percentage shareholding post-buyback. The company has confirmed that it has no outstanding defaults and will be able to meet its liabilities. The buyback amount represents 20.31% of standalone and 14.09% of consolidated paid-up capital and free reserves as of March 31, 2026. The public announcement regarding the buyback was published on June 12, 2026.
