Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
HEG Limited has bought additional shares in GrafTech International Ltd., a NYSE-listed graphite electrode maker, for INR 34.59 Crores through secondary market transactions under the Overseas Portfolio Investment route. With this purchase, HEG's stake in GrafTech has risen from 8.23% to 9.98%, taking its total investment in the company to INR 283.21 Crores. GrafTech had a market cap of USD 151.24 million and reported revenues of USD 538.78 million for FY2024, down from USD 620.5 million in FY2023 and USD 1,281.25 million in FY2022, showing a declining trend. The acquisition is a pure investment and not a related-party transaction, with no governmental approvals required since it was done through secondary market.
HEG continues to deepen its financial exposure to a global peer in the same graphite electrode industry, raising its stake close to 10%. While this signals management's confidence in GrafTech, it also increases HEG's investment risk tied to a foreign listed entity with declining revenues. Near-term impact on HEG's stock is likely neutral as this is a portfolio investment rather than a strategic operational move.
