However, here comes the twist! This article is not about Coromandel directly but instead, about finding a needle in a haystack.
So, let’s see and understand what that is!
EID Parry (India) Limited, which is a listed company engaged in the business of sugar & nutraceuticals, gained nearly 23 per cent on a YTD basis and has a market capitalisation (market cap) of about Rs 9,954 crore. However, here is an interesting point worth noting. EID Parry holds approximately 56.33 per cent in Coromandel International.
Coromandel International has a market cap of Rs 30,217 crore and 56.33 per cent of that comes to Rs 17,021 crore. So, EID Parry’s holding is valued at Rs 17,021 crore. Considering a 50 per cent discount comes to Rs 8,510.10 crore. So, the standalone value of the business would be Rs 1,444 crore!
Isn’t it amazing that we are getting the entire business at such a cheap valuation?
