Noel Tata, upon turning 70, will cease to be the non-executive chairman of Trent, Voltas, Tata Investment Corporation, and non-executive vice-chairman of Tata Steel and Titan Company. His successor has not yet been announced.
The analysis
Against that, the stock is +2.9% on the day at ₹1,041.00, and has returned -20.7% over three months. It sits 33% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The consumer durables sector has moved -10.1% over the same period, so Voltas is running 10.6 points behind its peers.
For Voltas, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the consumer durables peer set alongside it.
Market context
- The 4 companies named span 4 sectors, so these are separate company stories rather than one sector-wide move.
- On the day, 4 of 4 are higher: Voltas leads at +2.9% and Tata Steel trails at +0.1%.
- Over three months: Voltas -20.7% against Consumer Durables -10.1% (10.6 points behind); Tata Investment Corporation -15.1% against Financial Services -13.6% (1.5 points behind); Tata Steel -9.5% against Metals & Mining -8.2% (1.3 points behind); Titan Company -8.6% against Consumer & Retail -8.7% (0.1 points ahead).
- At least 25% below the 52-week high: Voltas (33%) and Tata Investment Corporation (29%).
- Trading well above normal today: Voltas at 2.3 times its 20-day average volume.
