Company ka Value Unlock Karne Ka Plan
Vedanta is move se apne alag-alag businesses ki asli value investors ko dikhana chahta hai. Jab company bahut zyada diversified hoti hai na, toh uski total value kam aanki jaati hai. Is split se har business segment apni alag pehchan bana payega aur uski khud ki performance par focus hoga. Isi wajah se demerger se pehle stock mein kaafi interest dekha gaya aur woh apne 52-week high ke paas pahunch gaya tha.
Demerger Day: Price Discovery Aur Share Ka Distribution
Aaj, April 30, Vedanta ke liye demerger ex-date hai. Subah 9:15 AM se 9:45 AM IST tak ek special trading session hoga jisme main Vedanta entity ki price discover ki jayegi split ke baad. Kal, April 29 ko, NSE par closing price ₹775 thi, jo asal mein sabhi 5 segments ki total value thi. Jin investors ne April 29 tak shares hold kiye hain, unko har ek naye company—Vedanta Aluminium, Vedanta Oil & Gas, Vedanta Power, aur Vedanta Iron & Steel—mein ek-ek share milega, unke paas jo existing Vedanta shares hain unke alawa. Main parent company ke paas base metals business aur Hindustan Zinc ki stake rahegi. Experts ko lagta hai ki aaj Vedanta ka share price ₹300-₹325 tak gir sakta hai, par yeh sirf ek technical adjustment hai, value ka loss nahi, balki paisa naye entities mein shift ho raha hai.
Valuation, Performance Aur Analysts Kya Kehte Hain?
Vedanta ka total market value lagbhag ₹3.02 trillion hai. FY24 mein iska trailing twelve-month P/E ratio 15.4x se 23.7x ke beech tha. Yeh Hindalco Industries (14-15x P/E) se thoda upar hai aur Mining & Mineral sector ke average P/E (9.9x) se kaafi zyada. Pichhle saal stock 85% tak bhaga hai, jo market indices se bhi behtar hai. India mein metals aur mining sector ki strong demand aur infrastructure growth iski wajah hai. SBI Securities ka estimate hai ki sabhi businesses ki combined value ₹880–₹900 tak ho sakti hai, matlab abhi bhi 19% tak ka upside potential hai. ICICI Direct ne combined entity ke liye ₹820 per share ka target diya hai.
Debt Ka Issue Aur Bade Risks
Achhe valuation aur performance ke bawajood, Vedanta par ₹81,000 crore ka gross debt aur ₹60,600 crore ka net debt hai. Sabse badi chinta ye hai ki ye bada debt paanchon naye companies mein kaise divide hoga. Lagta hai Aluminium business sabse zyada debt lega. Isi wajah se kuch analysts ko dar hai ki demerger ke baad Vedanta ka stock price ₹300-₹325 tak gir sakta hai. Paanch alag companies ko manage karna aur commodity prices ke fluctuations bhi challenges hain. Jabki most analysts positive hain, ICICI Direct ne 'Hold' rating di hai, jo thodi caution dikhati hai.
Listing Time, Growth Prospects Aur Financials
Yeh jo naye companies banengi, yeh regulatory approvals ke baad 4 se 8 hafton mein stock exchanges par list ho jayengi. SBI Securities ki ₹880-₹900 ki valuation long-term growth par bharosa dikhati hai. ICICI Direct FY25–27 ke liye revenue growth 18.3% aur EBITDA growth 35.5% tak predict kar raha hai. FY26 mein company ne record revenue ₹1,74,075 crore aur EBITDA ₹55,976 crore report kiya tha, jisme net debt-to-EBITDA ratio 0.95x tha, jo 14 quarters mein sabse accha hai. Yeh sab dekh kar lagta hai ki Vedanta ke individual businesses ek naye chapter ke liye taiyar hain.
