This framework is based on estimation of shareholding of SKF investors who hold around 110 number of shares as on 31/03/2018. To this we have added estimates for
1) Few additional purchase of Shares by existing shareholders with eye on earning additional returns through buyback.
2) Purchase of Shares by arbitrage investors.
3) We have taken into account Data from SKF Buyback 2017 into consideration.
Based on approximations indicated above, and taking a a reasonable tendering ratio, SKF buyback could have an acceptance ratio in 30%-45% band under normal circumstances. As there is good gap in current marker price of Rs. 1710 & Buyback price of Rs. 2100, it may attract more arbitrage traders but it could still maintain 25% plus acceptance ratio.

Investors may kept in mind that stock markets are quite volatile at this juncture and there are many political and other uncertainties related to international markets.

Assessment: SKF Buyback
- SKF came out with good results i n Q1FY19 & Q2FY19. This is likely to support share price
- In the case of Downturn in Auto demand threre could have some impact on company but company presently has enough demand for what it produces at its two plants.
- Based on market price of Rs. 1710 today and a buyback price of Rs. 2100 and if estimates of acceptance hold true, there seems to be reasonably good arbitrage opportunity in SKF Buyback. The stock could open gap up tomorrow in view of this and thus the estimated returns will change accordingly.
