The Board of Directors gave the Buyback Committee permission to set the record date at their meeting on March 24, 2023.

So, the Buyback Committee has decided that the Buyback will begin on April 13, 2023, and end on the earliest of (a) sixty-six Working Days, or July 19, 2023, from the date the Buyback began; (b) when the Company finishes the Buyback by spending the amount equal to the Maximum Buyback Size; or (c) any earlier date that the Board may decide “said Emami in a stock exchange filing. Emami’s shares closed on the NSE today at 347.90 each, which is 4.04% less than what they were worth when the market closed yesterday at 362.55. The stock’s 52-week high was 524.00 on (26-Sep-2022) and its 52-week low was 340.55 on (26-Jan-2023) (20-Mar-2023). A R Ramachandran, co-founder and trainer at Tips2trades, said this about the stock’s technical prospects: “Even though Emami has strong fundamentals, such as a high ROCE, low debt, and consistent profit growth, it hasn’t done as well as other FMCG stocks in the last year because investors are very pessimistic. With strong support at 340, a promoter buyback is a good way for the stock price to get a boost. A daily close above 370 could lead to short-term goals between 390 and 415.”
