In a market where anything linked to aerospace, defence etc is getting crazy multiples. Recently auto ancillary also got rerated as a sector. Promoter is again backing the co while it is trading in a value zone.

Other than the operating business related to engineering in two subsidiaries. There is also locked up value in Raymond’s holding of JK investo Trade(JKIT). Raymond Limited owns 47% of JK Investo and JK Helene Curtis, which owns 18% of Raymond Limited, Raymond Realty and 15% of Raymond Lifestyle. So, Raymond effectively owns 9%, 9% and 7% of these 3 companies. Plus the direct equity stake in lifestyle and realty listed entities now.

Raymond effectively owning 9% of itself is a weird case. If this complex structure gets cleared, further value unlock is possible. (Shareholding percentages taken with approximation)

Why does Raymond Ltd need cash now, Unless until there are inorganic opportunities, which may not make sense as they already have a good capex planned
