The share buyback is the acquisition of its shares by a company to return surplus cash to the shareholders holding the equity shares. Buyback is a more efficient form of distributing surplus cash to the shareholders holding equity shares of the Company.
The Buyback would help in improving return on equity by a reduction in the equity base, thereby leading to a long-term increase in shareholders’ value. It would help in optimizing the capital structure.
