Cochin Shipyard’s Stake Divestment
Cochin Shipyard is in the spotlight due to the government’s announcement of a 5% stake divestment via an Offer for Sale (OFS). The floor price for this sale has been set at ₹1,540 per share, which represents an approximate 8% discount from the previous closing price of ₹1,673. The OFS will open today for non-retail investors and will extend to retail investors tomorrow. This strategic move comes as the government aims to enhance market liquidity while reducing its stake in the company, which currently stands at 72.86%. Despite a recent decline of about 44% from its peak earlier this year, Cochin Shipyard shares have appreciated by 146% year-to-date and 225% over the past twelve months, indicating robust long-term performance despite short-term fluctuations.
