OR
You have the choice of investing or putting it in FD/NCDs till you decide what to do with it.
Person who opts for option 2 will be appreciated as being prudent.
RIL is doing just that.

Well if RIL is putting it in a FD, they are doing the shareholders a lot of dis-service. When the companies have such huge piles of cash, it means that there is a significant amount of free cash flow from operations. If they aren't able to find proper avenues to invest it (either CAPEX or acquisitions), they should return it to the shareholders in the form of a nice big dividend or bonus shares.
ReplyDeleteI would hope for a big Dividend or if nothing then a share buyback.
ReplyDeleteBut looks like the plans are to invest...awaiting turbulent times to cease...e.g buying a stake in terra power etc when market sentiments are so low
