Abstract: Analyzing how
announcements of share buybacks impacted the stock prices of small enterprises
between 2019 and 2022 is the main goal of the research study. Based on their
market capitalization, the historical share prices of 15 companies were
collected. Any one of the two indexes—the BSE or the NSE—has these companies
listed. Applying the event window methodology as a statistical tool to assess
how share buybacks affect the price of small-cap stocks over a given time
period, which spans from -40 to +40 (a total of 81 days). The study's findings
imply that the shares of small-cap companies did not exhibit notable price
movement for the majority of the days during the event window on the
announcement of a share buyback in the short term, indicating that the
small-cap companies' share price did not significantly respond on
share buyback announcement. In addition to the previously mentioned
finding, the small-cap companies' share showed distinct responses throughout
the pre and post sub-event windows. This suggests that during the majority
of the post-event sub-windows, the price of the small-cap companies' share
varied significantly.
