News India Live, Digital Desk: This week is going to be very important for investors of the country’s second largest IT company Infosys. The board of directors of the company are scheduled to hold a meeting on Thursday, September 11, 2025 this week, in which the proposal to buy back their own shares will be considered by the company.
As soon as this news came, Infosys shares saw a strong rise in the stock market. On Tuesday, the company’s stock jumped more than 3% to ₹ 1,484.35.
What is share buyback and why is it special?
Share buyback is a process in which a company buys its own shares back from its current shareholders. Usually the company pays more than the market price for this. The buyback reduces the number of shares of the company in the market, which increases the income (EPS) per share and the remaining shares are likely to increase the price. This step is often taken when the company has additional cash and wants to return it to its shareholders.
Why is this decision of Infosys important?
Infosys is taking this decision at a time when IT sector has been under pressure for a long time and the share of Infosys is also struggling. In the last one year, the price of the company’s stock has fallen by about 24%. In this way, this buyback can prove to be a big step in increasing the trust of investors and handling the share price.
If this proposal is approved, it will be the company’s first share buyback after 2022. Infosys has a long history of rewarding its shareholders. The company has shared the share four times since 2017.
- 2017: Buyback of ₹ 13,000 crore
- 2019: Buyback of ₹ 8,260 crore
- 2021: ₹ 9,200 crore buyback
- 2022: ₹ 9,300 crore buyback
Now everyone’s eyes are on the result of the board meeting to be held on September 11. Only after the meeting will it be clear how big the size of the buyback will be and what will be its price.
