Shares of Tanla Platforms Ltd rallied significantly on Thursday, climbing 12.82 percent to hit a high of Rs 702.05, after the company disclosed that its Board of Directors will meet on June 16, 2025, to consider a buyback of equity shares. This would mark Tanla's third buyback in five years, underlining strong shareholder returns amid positive market sentiment.

The news triggered strong investor enthusiasm, with the stock price reflecting sharp intraday gains following the regulatory disclosure.

Past Buybacks and Financial Strategy

Tanla previously executed two buybacks — one in 2020 and another in 2022. Both buybacks were priced at Rs 1200 per share, with the company spending Rs 154 crore in 2020 and Rs 170 crore in 2022, respectively. These moves were designed to return excess capital to shareholders and support the stock price during volatile market cycles.

The company’s latest announcement, disclosed through a BSE filing, stated:

Pursuant to Regulation 29(1)(b) of the SEBI LODR, a Board meeting will be held on Monday, June 16, 2025, to consider the buyback proposal and other related matters, in compliance with the Companies Act 2013, the SEBI Buy-back of Securities Regulations 2018, and all other relevant provisions.

Technical Analysis and Market Trends

From a technical standpoint, Tanla Platforms is displaying bullish behaviour, but analysts are cautious due to overbought signals on daily charts. The stock currently trades:

• Above the 10-day, 20-day, 30-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 150-day simple moving averages (SMAs)

• Below the 5-day and 200-day SMAs

The 14-day relative strength index (RSI) for Tanla came in at 79.29, which indicates an overbought condition. Typically, an RSI above 70 suggests the stock is overvalued in the short term, and a correction could be on the horizon.

AR Ramachandran, a SEBI-registered independent research analyst, commented that while the stock remains technically bullish, it may face near-term resistance. He stated:

Investors should book profits as a daily close below Rs 652 could pull the stock down towards Rs 584, while the next key resistance lies at Rs 720.

Valuation and Fundamentals

The stock carries a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 47.83, which suggests it is priced at a premium relative to earnings. The price-to-book (P/B) value is 15.68, and earnings per share (EPS) stands at Rs 14.59. The return on equity (RoE) remains strong at 32.77 percent, indicating efficient capital usage and strong profitability.

As of March 2025, promoters held a 44.10 percent stake in the company, reflecting stable and significant ownership by founding members or associated entities.

According to Trendlyne data, Tanla has a one-year beta of 1.1, meaning the stock is more volatile than the market average. This level of volatility often attracts both speculative and momentum-driven investors.

Business Overview and Strategic Outlook

Tanla Platforms, formerly known as Tanla Solutions, operates in the application-to-person (A2P) messaging segment, offering cloud communication services globally. Its services span:

• Wireless telephony software solutions

• Aggregator messaging services

• Offshore development support for telecom operators and enterprises

Tanla's business model has evolved over the years, embracing AI and blockchain integration for secure, scalable communications. It counts large-scale enterprises, telecom providers, and digital platforms as part of its core client base.

Outlook and Investor Sentiment

Tanla’s consistent approach toward returning capital to shareholders, coupled with high profitability metrics, has cemented investor confidence. The latest buyback proposal comes amid robust earnings visibility, expansion of its global footprint, and the growth of A2P messaging in enterprise solutions.

However, the high valuation and overbought technical setup mean that short-term corrections are possible, particularly if global markets turn volatile or regulatory changes impact telecom-related companies.

Long-term investors may view the potential buyback as a sign of underlying confidence from the management in Tanla’s financial position, while short-term traders are advised to monitor price action closely around Rs 720 and Rs 652.

Conclusion

Tanla Platforms has once again attracted market buzz with its third buyback proposal in five years, reinforcing a shareholder-first capital allocation strategy. The stock's sharp rise reflects both the announcement impact and confidence in Tanla's fundamentals. As the June 16 Board meeting nears, investors will closely track the buyback price and size, which could further influence market dynamics around the stock.

Whether you are an investor or a trader, the coming days may offer both opportunity and caution — making Tanla a stock to watch this month.
