Shares of Gitanjali Gems soared by nearly 10 per cent in early trade on the BSE on Wednesday amid reports that the jewellery-maker plans to raise $100-150 million through the sale of an 8-10 per cent stake to private investors.
According to media reports, the company is looking to restructure its jewellery brand holding company by divesting 8-10 per cent equity to private equity investors in order to raise $100-150 million.
Buoyed by the buzz, shares of Gitanjali Gems started the day on a robust note and jumped 9.99 per cent to an early high of Rs 217.40 apiece on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
The scrip witnessed a similar surge on the National Stock Exchange and was trading higher by Rs 217.50, or 10.01 per cent, vis-a-vis the previous close.
The upsurge was also bolstered by the company’s acquisition of a 90 per cent stake in Milan-based Glantti Italia from its Dubai-based, wholly owned subsidiary — Gitanjali Ventures DMCC — for an undisclosed amount yesterday.
