Very well put, bro! A lot of research has gone into this. Do you think a buyout could possibly be on the cards in the future? Given that banks/financial institutions are holding 27% of the shares, in case during a bad market the supply chain gets disrupted and the shares tumble further?

Thanks bud, it means a lot!

On the buyout piece, looks unlikely. The promoters recently raised money through private placement to invest in the biz & it doesn't seem like they would be interested in selling the business.

Also, FII / DII holding is less than 5% as at 31 December 2024. Where did you get the 27% shareholding data from?

Ohh, was referring to this part from the article.

“27% of the shareholding is pledged with banks / financial institutions — which can trigger a larger sell-off in the stock in case it falls dramatically.”

Nah nah, those are shares which are owned by the promoters but pledged with the banks as a security to take a loan.

So what happens is, if the company doesn’t pay the loan, the banks can sell these shares in the market and recover their money — which could trigger a fall in stock prices. In case the loans are paid, nothing really happens.

The probability of a buyout therefore is quite slim. It is however a concern whenever promoters pledge their shares with banks. In general, that signals weak liquidity.
