Wipro Announces Rs 15,000 Crore Share Buyback with Potential 8-14% Retail Returns

Wipro has announced a Rs 15,000 crore share buyback at Rs 250 per share, representing a premium of 19-25% over recent market prices. The buyback will repurchase up to 60 crore shares, about 5-6% of equity, via the tender route. Brokerages, including HDFC Securities, suggest retail investors could earn net returns between 8-14% within 2-3 months, depending on acceptance ratios. Promoters intend to participate, and 15% of the offer is reserved for small shareholders as per SEBI rules.
