Bajaj Auto stock in focus as board to consider buyback of shares today. Details here


Bajaj Auto shares will be in focus on Monday as the company’s board of directors will meet to consider a proposal of share buyback.

In a regulatory filing last week, Bajaj Auto informed, “The meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company is scheduled on 08/01/2024, inter alia, to consider and approve a proposal to buyback of fully paid-up equity shares of the Company and other matters necessary and incidental thereto.”

If approved, then it would be the second Bajaj Auto buyback in the last two years. The auto major had earlier declared share buyback in July 2022 at 4,600 per equity share. The previous Bajaj Auto share buyback size was 2,500 crore done through the open market route.

Bajaj Auto share price hit a 52-week high of 7,088.00 apiece on the BSE on January 05, after the announcement of share buyback.
