Assessment: Freshtrop Fruits Buyback
- Despite repeated profits, Freshtrop Fruits is not paying out dividend.
- Freshtrop Fruits is not in F&O, so prices post Freshtrop Fruits buyback can be volatile.
- After the announcement of buyback BM, the stock wen up 12% and closed at 107.2 a day before the BM. The investors who bought got trapped as Buyback price and size does not leaves little scope for making gains.
- I do not intend to participate in Freshtrop Fruits Buyback as it is of small size and buyback price together with likely low acceptance ratio leaves little scope for any arbitrage.
