• Cash reserves: The company holds approximately 600 crore in cash on its balance sheet against a market capitalization of around 8,000 crore, accounting for roughly 8% of its valuation.
• Share buyback: Management declined to comment on whether the company will consider a share buyback to support the stock following its recent price decline.
• Long-term diversification strategy: Management explained that expanding into healthcare adjacencies reflects the horizontal evolution seen in overseas models like CVS, but acknowledged the move appeared to be a digression for MedPlus at this stage.
