PVR Inox Announces ₹300-Crore Buyback Amid Improved Margins and Expansion Plans
PVR Inox announced a ₹300-crore share buyback at a 20% premium, reflecting confidence from improved operating margins and a debt-free balance sheet. The company reported a 7.6% rise in footfalls and increased ticket and food spending in Q1FY27, with revenue up 11.9%. Expansion plans focus on asset-light, franchise-operated screens, reducing capex guidance. Brokerages CLSA and JM Financial highlight stronger attendance, better spending, and a robust movie pipeline as drivers for potential margin improvement and earnings growth, despite some footfall volatility.
