Latest News on Gitanjali Gems

Sebi has issued an order granting permission to the promoters of Gitanjali Gems to Buy Back 1.2 Crore shares of the company at a price up to Rs. 120 per share without making public announcement of the same. This move would increase Promoter’s stake in the company from existing 54.19% to 63.09%.

Investment Guru is of the view that the stock has good potential to move up from current level. The proposed Buy back of shares by promoters would also act as a short term trigger to the stock price.The reduction in the stock price may happen on account on general fall in market, but this risk stands good for any stock being traded in the market.

Another positive for this company is that the valuation of its inventory of gold and diamonds has shot up significantly and this is not built in the valuations yet.

As rupee is getting stronger day by day, exporters will be at loss. Also dollar is towards slope against many currencies.
Taking this into contribution I feel one should not invest in companies which are export oriented.
Thanks
