Assessment: Cosmo Films Buyback

  • Cosmo Films has robust financial fundamentals.

  • Company has been maintaining dividend payout of ~ 20%.
  • From an arbitrage angle, with rlow buyback acceptance expectations, Cosmo Films Buyback is not attracctive to arbitrage investors. Any market melt down poses a risk as the total period involved is about 2-2.5 months. I intend to participate in buyback in a moderate quantity.
