The full read
SIS Limited's board will meet on June 29, 2026 to consider a share buyback. The trading window closed from June 23 until 48 hours after the outcome, a standard precaution. That is a sign of confidence. For a ₹6,064 cr market-cap company with trailing revenue growth of 31% and PAT growth of 140.8%, a buyback would reinforce the growth narrative. Yet with a P/E of 44 and ROE of just 5.4%, the board must ensure the price is right. Debt/equity of 0.56 gives some headroom. The specifics (size, method, price) will determine whether this is a catalyst or a footnote.
