What should investors do with Hinduja Global buyback offer?
Meanwhile, Hinduja global buyback is only around the corner and Manoj Dalmia, Founder and Director-Proficient Equities Limited, is of the view that investors should tender their share and wait for levels of Rs 3610 per share.
"Promoters hold about a 67% stake in this company and buyback might boost retail sentiments. The stock gained 6% on 11th Jan. Considering the volatile price movements, investors can tender their share and technically wait for Rs 3610 levels to cross," suggested Dalmia.
