Promoter pledged shareholding continues to fall; Adani Ports, Sun Pharma promoters trim pledges
The value of pledged promoter holdings as a percentage of the value of total promoter holdings fell to 1.61% in the April-June quarter from 1.64% in the January-March quarter.
Promoters of listed companies continued to cut pledged shareholdings in the first quarter of the current financial year. Data sourced by domestic brokerage and research firm Kotak Securities showed that the value of pledged promoter holdings as a percentage of the value of total promoter holdings fell to 1.61% in the April-June quarter from 1.64% in the January-March quarter. The April-June quarter was the second consecutive quarter with no BSE 500 company having more than 90% of its promoter holdings pledged.
At the end of June this year, promoters of only 78 of all the BSE 500 companies had pledged part of their holdings. “The value of pledged promoter holdings was Rs 1.7 lakh crore at end-June 2021, which is about 0.81% of the total BSE-500 Index’s market capitalization,” Kotak Securities said. High promoter pledging is not an indication of financial stress for a company. Banks often seek additional security in the form of promoter shares.
