Infosys Board to Discuss Buyback Proposal on Sep 11: What You Need to Know?

On September 11, 2025, Infosys shares opened lower as investors await the outcome of the company’s board meeting, which is set to review a proposal for a share buyback. If approved, this would mark Infosys’ 5th share buyback in 8 years, with the first initiated in 2017. Notably, this will be the company’s first buyback since 2022, breaking a three-year gap between such capital return initiatives.

Buyback to be Executed via Tender Offer Route

Unlike the last 3 buybacks, which were executed through open market purchases, this one will be conducted via the tender offer route, a shift necessitated by the regulatory phase-out of open market buybacks effective April 1, 2025.

As of June 2025, Infosys reported cash reserves of approximately ₹24,500 crore, giving the company ample liquidity to fund the repurchase.

Infosys shares have witnessed a notable upswing recently, gaining nearly 7% or ₹100 over the past two sessions, including a 2% rise on Wednesday following a 5% surge on Tuesday. Despite the short-term rally, the stock remains down 18% year-to-date, closing at ₹1,532 on Wednesday.
