  • The company went for a delisting of shares, amalgamation and subsequent listing of shares.
  • Wind energy generation business is capital-intensive with a modest internal rate of return. 
  • Surprisingly  Techno Electric Stock showed a declining trend after announcement of its intent for buyback.  As the stock has been beaten down a lot, it has been showing some recovery, which may continue a bit after this announcement.
  • Though Techno Electric Buyback is coming at a good price and issue size is better than than that in last buyback, the returns will depend on performance of Techno electric stock (results)  going forward and acceptance ratio in buyback may not be high. Thus the Techno electric buyback offer may not be very attractive based on these assumptions.
