Raymond shares hit 5% upper circuit after Dalal Street prices in realty demerger
Shares of Raymond Ltd hit the 5% upper circuit at Rs 584.25 on the BSE Thursday, gaining sharply after the company concluded the demerger of its real estate arm, Raymond Realty , as part of a broader strategy to unlock value through standalone verticals. The surge follows the completion of the demerger on May 1 and the record date on Wednesday, May 14, which determined eligible shareholders who will receive one share in Raymond Realty for every share held in Raymond Ltd. The newly carved-out entity is expected to list separately on the NSE and BSE by the September quarter of FY26. 'We are delighted to announce the successful demerger… This strategic move emphasizes our commitment to drive sustainable growth via pure play business,' said Chairman and Managing Director Gautam Hari Singhania. Realty arm steps out with strong metrics Raymond Realty, which has built a growing footprint in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region , exits the Raymond Ltd umbrella with a net cash surplus of Rs 399 crore. In the March quarter (Q4FY25), the business posted revenue of Rs 766 crore, up 13% year-on-year, and an EBITDA of Rs 194 crore with a margin of 25.3%. Despite no new project launches in the quarter, Raymond Realty posted a healthy booking value of Rs 636 crore, led by demand for projects like The Address by GS 2.0, Invictus, and Park Avenue – High Street Retail in Thane, as well as The Address by GS in Bandra. The realty unit is aggressively expanding its presence in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region through joint development agreements. In Q4FY25, it signed new JDAs in Mahim and Wadala, adding Rs 6,800 crore to its potential gross development value. 'With these additions the total potential revenue from our current Real Estate Business is now close to Rs 40,000 crore, which includes Rs 25,000 crore from our Thane Land parcel and Rs 14,000 crore from JDA led model,' the company said. The listing of Raymond Realty will allow shareholders to directly participate in the real estate business while Raymond Ltd continues to operate its engineering and other legacy businesses. The demerger mirrors the September 2024 spin-off of Raymond group's lifestyle unit and is part of a wider effort to restructure the conglomerate into focused, independently run verticals.

Raymond Shares Crash 65% Today: Why Is The Stock Falling After Realty Demerger?
Last Updated: Shares of Raymond Ltd plunged 65% on Wednesday; Here are key points which investors should know Raymond Share Price Today: Shares of Raymond Ltd plunged 65% on Wednesday, but any negative news or fundamental weakness didn't drive the steep fall. Instead, it was a technical adjustment following the demerger of its real estate arm, Raymond Realty. By mid-day, Raymond stock was trading at Rs 556.45, down 64.36% from its previous close of Rs 1,561.30. The timing coincided with the ex-date of the demerger, when Raymond shares stopped including the value of its realty business. What's Driving the Fall? Today marks the record date to determine which shareholders are eligible to receive shares of Raymond Realty. Under the approved demerger scheme (effective from May 1), existing investors will receive one Raymond Realty share for every Raymond Ltd share held. The stock's sharp decline reflects a notional price adjustment, not panic selling. Since Raymond Realty has been carved out of the parent company, Raymond Ltd's share price has been recalibrated to exclude the real estate business. Some platforms may still show the pre-adjustment price, making the drop seem more dramatic than it actually is. Shareholders Haven't Lost Value Although Raymond Ltd's stock price dropped, shareholders now hold two separate investments: one in Raymond Ltd (which now reflects the non-realty businesses) and another in the soon-to-be-listed Raymond Realty. This is the second major demerger by the Raymond Group. In September 2024, it had listed Raymond Lifestyle as a standalone entity following a similar split of its apparel and fashion businesses. Strong Numbers from Raymond Realty The Address by GS 2.0, Invictus, Park Avenue – High Street Retail in Thane, and the JDA-based The Address by GS in Bandra. It posted a healthy EBITDA of Rs 194 crore with a margin of 25.3%, and holds a net cash surplus of Rs 399 crore. Expansion Strategy Gains Momentum Raymond Realty is aggressively expanding across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). It has recently signed two Joint Development Agreements (JDAs) in Mahim and Wadala, together valued at Rs 6,800 crore, increasing its non-Thane project count to six. 'This strategic move reinforces our commitment to unlocking shareholder value and focusing on pure-play businesses," said Gautam Hari Singhania, Chairman and Managing Director of Raymond. 'We're expanding our footprint across MMR and committed to timely, high-quality developments." What Investors Should Know While the sharp drop in Raymond Ltd's share price may alarm some investors, especially those using apps or platforms that haven't updated valuations, it's important to note this is a technical correction, not a reflection of business weakness. With the demerger complete and the real estate arm set to list independently, Raymond aims to boost transparency, operational focus, and growth potential across both entities.
