Abstract: This study examines the valuation effects of the magnitude and frequency of share repurchases for 181 Bombay Stock Exchange–listed stocks from 2000 to 2021. We investigate the valuation effect of share repurchases by calculating the sample companies’ average abnormal returns (AARs) and average cumulative abnormal returns (CARs) using the market model of event-study methodology. The findings show that the magnitude of share repurchases impacts the stock prices of the sample companies, regardless of the size of the repurchases concerning the total number of ordinary shares outstanding. Furthermore, when compared to single-time repurchasing companies, frequent repurchasing companies experience abnormal returns. This study contributes to the scant literature on the frequency and magnitude of share repurchases across the world.
