: The buyback euphoria is back on the bourses, driving some share prices north even in a generally sluggish market.

The previous year saw buyback announcements by several companies and the trend seems to have continued this year with more and more companies joining the bandwagon.

The announcements have led to increased interest in the scrips of companies announcing buybacks which have, in fact, outperformed the market by a wide margin.

Hindalco is a notable example. The scrip shot up from as low as Rs 617 on December 20 to Rs 720 on January 25 on BSE, up 17 per cent. The Hindalco board, which met yesterday, decided to buyback up to 10 per cent of its equity capital at a price not exceeding Rs 825 a share through the open market route.

The Hindalco stock price, however, reacted on account of profit booking at higher levels during the last three days. From Rs 720 on January 25, it declined to Rs 693 on January 30.

Other companies, which have announced buyback plans recently, are Indian Resort Hotels, G G Dandekar Machine Works, Balrampur Chini, Parry Agro, Exide Inds, Sanwaria Agro and Sirpur Paper.
