Raymond Shares Rally Green; Gain Over 16% After Company BoD's Demerger Approval

Raymond has been one of the most intriguing stocks watch for the past few trading sessions. In a development that appears to have encouraged investors to go bullish on the company's stocks, the company's board of directors approved the much-anticipated demerger of the existing company into Raymond Ltd and Raymond Realty Limited (RRL) on July 4.

Raymond Shares Rise After Meeting

In the intraday trade proceedings on Friday, July 5, the lifestyle and apparel company gained a mammoth 15 per cent and above, before the halfway mark.

The demerger arrangement would allow current shareholders of the company to hold shares in two different entities, once the demerger is completed.

This is perhaps a tanatalizing prospect for many investors, thereby making the purchase of the share of the current entity more attractive.
