“Shreyas Shipping promoters have yesterday announced the proposal to buy out the public shareholders and delist the company. The board meeting for the same is expected on 24th May 2023. In our view, this is a big positive and shows the commitment of the promoters to the business so much that they are willing to buy the whole company. The current delisting provides an excellent opportunity for existing members and shareholders to exit at a significant premium from the current market price. Although the entire delisting to go through is completely dependent on the promoters to accept the bid price which will be discovered through the reverse book building process. The company is highly undervalued at the CMP of Rs 310 and we believe the promoters would be getting a steal even if they are able to buy out the company at Rs 400 per share as well,” said Siddharth Oberoi Founder and CIO at Prudent Equity.
