Tata Sons Listing Could Unlock Value for Tata Power

Tata Sons Listing Could Unlock Value for Tata Power
How Tata Sons listing may impact Tata Power shares? Axis Capital explains · livemint.com

Tata Sons is the company that owns and guides many Tata Group businesses.

Tata Power owns a small 1.65% piece of Tata Sons.

Tata Sons may eventually be listed on the stock market, although this has not happened yet.

Axis Capital says such a listing could make Tata Power’s stake more valuable.

If Tata Sons were valued at ₹10 lakh crore, Tata Power’s stake might be worth about ₹16,500 crore.

After reducing that estimate for a holding-company discount, the possible benefit could be around ₹35 for each Tata Power share.

Axis Capital therefore kept its “Add” recommendation and set a ₹415 target price.

Tata Power shares recently fell and closed at ₹363.30.
