Why did Elcid Investments shares rise so high?
The sky-high stock price came after the company was relisted on the BSE on Tuesday, October 29, 2024. It’s market capitalization is ₹4,725 crore now.
One of the main reasons for Elcid Investments to be priced this high is that it holds 2,83,13,860 equity shares or a 2.95% stake in Asian Paints Ltd, which is worth close to ₹8,500 crore.
The relisting of Elcid Investments through a special call auction mechanism for a price discovery on Monday and the rate settlement on Tuesday was announced in a BSE circular dated October 21, 2024 after the promoters made a voluntary offer to delist it which didn’t happen due to non-receipt of requisite majority of public shareholders.
