Australian-listed building materials group Boral has revealed plans for an on-market share buyback. The group aims to repurchase about five per cent of its shares over the next year, which could cost up to $A236m. Boral boasted cash holding of $A357m at the end of 2014, and Andrew Peros of Credit Suisse says the buyback will place the group in a strong financial position to pursue acquisitions
