Kwality Wall’s Share Price Lists at Sharp Discount After HUL Demerger
Kwality Wall’s made its stock market debut on February 16, but investors experienced a disappointing start with an unexpectedly bitter outcome.
After Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL) completed its demerger, the stock began trading on the NSE at ₹29.80, representing a 25.87% discount to its adjusted price of ₹40.20. On the BSE, it opened at ₹29.90, marking a 21.6% decline from its adjusted price of ₹38.15.
The question now is whether this reflects initial market uncertainty or signals deeper near-term challenges. While the ice-cream brand is well recognized by consumers, the market appears to be taking a cautious first approach. The stock could either decline further or stage a gradual recovery.
