However, the size of buyback is Rs 16000 cr which is smaller than expectations, Singhvi said. Nevertheless, this should not be considered a small offer, he reiterated. 

Even on the previous occasion, the channel had advised to buy TCS shares when they were trading around Rs 1700. In the buyback, the company paid around Rs 2000 per share.  

He said that there is still a lot of opportunity in TCS shares now. He said that if the buyers buy at current price, they may see the buyback price much before the offer time. There is still a lot of time left.  

He said that the investors will get enough opportunities from here to invest in shares of TCS or Wipro.  

The Managing Editor said that the investors will only gain from this buyback and should invest in this stock.  

He said that if investors think that they have missed the opportunity in TCS and Wipro, then they should focus on Infosys and HCL. The results of these companies are likely to be strong for this quarter and investments in these stocks would give handsome results, he said. 

At 12:22 pm, TCS stock was trading at Rs 2,876.10 on NSE, up by over 5 per cent from the Wednesday close.
