Assessment: Frontline Securities Buyback
- Company is virtually debt free.
- Stock is trading at 0.95 times its book value.
- Promoter’s stake has increased.Company has good consistent profit growth of 21.32% over 5 years
- Company is very small and a lot depends on promoter actions.
- It is difficult o comment on quality of company’s management given minuscule operations.
- Even small interest of arbitrage investors and sale by other stake holders can change the acceptance ratio considerably. If this is not the case, the acceptance ratio should be more than 50% or even still higher.
