BUSINESS STANDARD - Shares of Matrimony.com surged 14% on the BSE, hitting a 52-week high during Tuesday's intra-day trade, driven by the company's announcement that its board will meet on Sep 5, 2024, to consider a share buyback proposal. The stock has rallied 40% in the past three weeks and surpassed its previous high of Rs 785.05 on Aug 21. Matrimony.com, India's leading online matchmaking company, manages brands like BharatMatrimony, CommunityMatrimony, and EliteMatrimony. It is expanding into adjacent segments, including launching MeraLuv.com, a dating app for Indian Americans, and plans to release Luv.com, a next-gen matchmaking app. Analysts attribute the stock's rise to upcoming changes in India's share buyback tax regime, effective from Oct 1, which shifts the tax burden from companies to shareholders.
