Speaking of stock markets, the Indian share markets have started recovering.

In this situation, investors intend to make the most of the recovery. They are waiting for the right time to buy the dip just before the price go up.

So, what is a critical metric that you should look out for before buying this dip. Richa Agarwal answers this question in the below video.

In the news from cement sector, Springway Mining (SMPL) is now a wholly owned subsidiary of India Cements.

In a regulatory filing on Tuesday India Cements said,

• "SMPL has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company with effect from June 27, 2022"

The entire equity and preference shares of SMPL were acquired at a total consideration of Rs 1.8 bn. The acquisition was completed on Monday.

SMPL is involved mainly in mining and quarrying business, while India Cements is a leading manufacturer of cement in the country. SMPL is in the process of setting up of a cement plant in Madhya Pradesh.

SMPL has no business income. However, it had reported 'other income' of Rs 1.7 m, Rs 0.5 m and Rs 24,000 for FY19, FY20 and FY21 respectively.

ICL had announced the acquisition of SMPL during October 2018, with the objective of setting up a cement plant in Madhya Pradesh.

Looks like Radhakishan Damani's idea of buying the stock in December 2021 has started to show its results as the share price of the company rises with the news of acquisition.

This is how India Cements performed between December 2020 to December 2021.

Further in the news from the telecom sector, Route Mobile has approved buy back of shares.

The board of Route Mobile approved the buyback of shares in the open market in a meeting on Tuesday.In a filing, the company informed that its board had approved Rs 1.2 bn spending to buyback shares from shareholders barring promoter, promoter group, and persons in control of the company.

The board approved the buyback of fully paid equity shares at a maximum price of Rs 1,700.

At maximum buyback price (Rs 1,700), and maximum buyback size (Rs 1.2 bn), the indicative maximum number of equity shares bought back would be 705,882, 1.12% of the total number of paid-up equity shares of the company.

The board also approved the formation of a buyback committee and delegated its powers to do "all such acts, deeds, matters and things as it may, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary, expedient, usual or proper in connection with the Buyback".

Additionally, the board approved the appointment of Rathindra Das, group head legal, company secretary and compliance officer for the buyback.

Corporate action events often bring material changes to a company through changes in the capital structure.
