Assessment: Smartlink Buyback
- SmartLink has been frequently coming up with buybacks and the buyback price and acceptance ratio in the past two buybacks have been quite attractive for the investors.
- Promoter Holding in Smartlink Holding stands at 73.6%
- In last Smartlink buyback in Year 2018, the acceptance ration was 100%. This feat is now difficult to repeat as equity has reduced and so retail shares in line with total shares for buyback is less. However a strong movement in price towards buyback price could provide opportunity to many investors to exit and improve acceptance ratio.
- Smartlink is a holding company and earning are not very impressive. Its performance in FY19 was flat.
- I do not see much merit to enter smart link buyback at this stage and only a good drop in price will make it attractive. This is despite good acceptance ratio in both the buybacks in year 2016 and year 2018.
