· ET Stocks, Economic Times Markets

Cemindia Projects raised Rs 1,400 crore through a qualified institutional placement priced at Rs 1,108 per share, attracting 2.3 times demand over the base issue. Leading mutual funds participated as the company secured strong credit ratings and shares rallied.

Cemindia Projects reported Rs 1,400, Rs 1,400 crore and Rs 1,108. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.

Against that, the stock is +5.9% on the day at ₹1,221.40, and has returned -23.7% over three months. It sits 26% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The infrastructure sector has moved -13.4% over the same period, so Cemindia Projects is running 10.3 points behind its peers.

For Cemindia Projects, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the infrastructure peer set alongside it.
