ITC’s recent demerger, which officially separated its hospitality division, has generated significant attention in the financial world. Analysts have been quick to predict a 29% upside for the company’s shares, viewing the strategic restructuring as a catalyst for unlocking shareholder value. The demerger, with a ratio of 1:10, also allows investors to hold on to the full ownership of ITC Hotels once shares are listed in the coming months.

The market responded positively, with the stock rising over 1% and opening at ₹3,490. This growth highlights Titan’s continued success in the consumer market, despite the challenges faced by many sectors.
Meanwhile, Gensol Engineering’s shares saw an impressive surge after the company announced that it had won a major ₹1,061 crore EPC contract for a 275 MW solar PV project in Gujarat. The solar and EV sectors continue to thrive, and Gensol’s recent success in securing a large-scale project boosted investor confidence in the small-cap stock.
Avenue Supermarts, owner of DMart, faced some volatility on January 6 after the exchanges sought clarification on unusual stock volume movements. The stock price declined following this scrutiny, creating uncertainty about potential future movements. Investors are awaiting more clarity before making further decisions.
As we move further into 2025, market developments around ITC’s demerger, Titan’s performance, and Gensol Engineering’s growth show the resilience of key sectors like hospitality, retail, and renewable energy. Investors remain keenly focused on these opportunities.
“Restructuring to unlock shareholder value and sustained growth in key sectors like retail and solar energy continues to drive market optimism in 2025.”
