“The meeting of board of directors of the Company will be held on Wednesday, September 26, 2018, inter alia, to consider a proposal for buy back of equity shares of the Company including matters related/incidental thereto and any other matter as the Board of the Directors may decide during the course of the Meeting,” TD Power Systems said in a BSE filing. The company made the announcement on Friday after market hours.
The primary objective of a share buyback programme is to arrest the fall in the value of a stock by reducing the supply of the stock, which essentially pushes up the share price through a better P/E multiple.
