Honorable Ratan Tata Passes Away: Implications for Tata Shares and the Stock Market

Tata shares are in for yet another day of limelight Thursday's trading session with news from Ratan Tata, chairman emeritus at Tata Sons, an industrial legend who did much of the heavy lifting in building one of India's largest and most influential conglomerates.

Veteran industrialist Ratan Tata breathed his last Wednesday night, aged 86, at the Breach Candy Hospital in South Mumbai. Chairman of Tata Sons, N Chandrasekaran, also issued a statement to the media condoling the death of Ratan Tata and said that contributions like his have profoundly affected the very heart of India.

"It is with a sense of great loss that we are bidding farewell to Mr. Ratan Naval Tata, an uncommon leader whose contributions are invaluable in shaping not only the Tata Group but also the entire fabric of our nation," Chandrasekaran said.

 

Tata Group stock performance

Tata Group stocks have zoomed during 2024, with collective market capitalization showing a growth of 15.4 percent since June, primarily on the back of robust performances by key companies like Tata Consultancy Services and Tata Motors.

Tata group stocks are diversified across various sectors, the dividend payout is regular, and there is an opportunity to achieve capital growth. All these ensure returns in the long run, thereby making them a good choice for creating long-term wealth, believe several key analysts.

Investors will keenly look at succession plans from the Tata Group for the first time after the demise of Ratan Tata.

Tata Group's latest listing:

One of the most-awaited IPO of the year 2023, Tata Technologies, a Tata Group company, recently made a thriving debut on the Indian stock market.

On record, though Tata Technologies was able to go for its IPO in November 2023, it marked the first offering of an IPO from Tata Group after nearly 19 years. In the meantime, it managed to achieve the third-highest closing gain on its listing day in the history of the Indian capital market.

Tata Technologies launched on both exchanges on November 30. Opening at ₹1,200 on the NSE, Tata Technologies closed at ₹1,328 representing a very impressive 140 per cent premium to the IPO price. This IPO, constituting an Offer-for-sale (OFS) issue of 6.08 crore shares of the promoters Tata Motors, investors Alpha TC Holdings and Tata Capital Growth Fund 1, saw tremendous interest from retail as well as institutional investors.

Total applications surged to over 73.38 lakh as the public issue was oversubscribed to the tune of 69.43 times. Tata shares are in for yet another day of limelight Thursday's trading session with news from Ratan Tata, chairman emeritus at Tata Sons, an industrial legend who did much of the heavy lifting in building one of India's largest and most influential conglomerates.
