Assessment: Tech Mahindra Buyback Buyback
- Since no Board approval is required and RD has been fixed, the Tech Mahindra Buyback proposal should move fast though not as fast as PSU stocks.
- Tech Mahindra Q3FY19 results were good and share was rallying continuously ever since these results. Revenue in Q3FY19 stood at USD 1,261mn up 3.5% QoQ and up 4.3% on constant currency basis.
- Management is of the view that spending related to 5G roll-out in USA will provide further thrust to Telecom growth
- Tech Mahindra is virtually debt free & holds good cash reserves.
- Cash rich Indian IT companies have been returning surplus cash on their books to shareholders by way of buybacks and other than Mphasis other Buybacks have proven good for arbitrage investors too.
- Tech Mahindra has been maintaining a healthy dividend payout of ~32%.
- Tech Mahindra Buyback presents a moderate returns opportunity and I intend to add the stock on any dips for participating in Buyback.
- With no other ongoing opportunity many arbitrage investors may enter Tech Mahindra Buyback which may bring down the tendering ratio.
- Forthcoming elections may lead to volatile movements in stocks and there is systematic risk to all stocks on account on this. There is a also a risk if tensions with Pakistan escalate.
- National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom), has decided to discontinue the practice of giving out revenue growth forecast for the Indian IT industry & will henceforth offer guidance only. Its guidance for FY20 is “cautiously optimistic” given the increasing global macroeconomic headwinds, protectionist tendencies and the lack of talent for new technologies. As a results IT stocks today were under some pressure.
- Tech Mahindra is in F&O which will lend some stability to its price post buyback.
- These are my estimates only and please do your own diligence in this matter as even what may appear as totally safe arbitrage investments in stock markets have inherent risks.
