Nureca Surges Ahead on Buyback Buzz

Shares of Nureca jumped 5% after the company's fixed date to discuss buyback offer as 28November 2025.

The company had initially planned to consider a buyback proposal during a board meeting on 10 November 2025. However, the meeting was postponed because most of the Independent Directors were unavailable.

A share buyback is when a company repurchases its own shares from the market or through a tender offer. This reduces the number of outstanding shares, often boosting earnings per share and supporting the stock price.

Companies undertake buybacks to return excess cash to shareholders, signal confidence in their valuation, offset stock-option dilution, or improve key financial ratios.

Nureca is a home healthcare and wellness company with key brands such as Dr Trust, Dr Physio and Trumom. It has sold over 1.24 crore Dr Trust products across five countries.

Its portfolio includes chronic disease management devices, orthopaedic aids, lifestyle and nutrition products, mother and baby care items, and connected healthcare devices.
