Alert For FMCG Stock Watchers! Tobacco Stock In Focus On Upcoming Rs 300 Cr Fundraising Plan

The continued remarkable upward trajectory of Elitecon International's shares saw the company's stock price increase by an additional 5 per cent to Rs 76.80 per share. This is an increase from the previous stock price of Rs 73.15 and marks a new 52-week high of Rs 76.80. Elitecon is now locked within the upper circuit for 5 consecutive sessions. Over the past year, Elitecon stock has increased from Rs 1.10 to Rs 76.80, yielding multibagger returns of 6882 per cent.

As previously mentioned in their regulatory filing, it comes as no surprise that Elitecon's expected Board of Directors meeting on July 9, 2025, is the main contributor to such a sharp spike in stock price.

The company did provide insight into two major decisions that the Board will discuss. The first revolves around the planned purchase of a foreign business which is to be executed as per the provisions of Companies Act, 2013 along with all relevant laws. Such a purchase would significantly bolster the company's international footprint, especially in regions where it has a substantial presence.

The second major proposal is to raise funds through the issuance of equity shares by means of a Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP) for an aggregate amount not exceeding Rs 300 crores. The board will also consider preferential issuance of equity shares in adherence with Chapter V of the SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018, and the Companies Act of 2013.

A strong financial performance provides the basis for Elitecon's upcoming board meeting. For its quarter ending March 2025 (Q4FY25), Elitecon International recorded net sales of Rs 313.16 crores, a consolidated year-over-year growth of 232 per cent, alongside net profit growth of 222 per cent to Rs 42.97 crores.

Elitecon's standalone FY25 results were just as remarkable, reporting net sales growth of 424 per cent to Rs 297.51 crore and net profit growth of 574 per cent to Rs 32.21 crore. On a consolidated basis, FY25 net sales were Rs 548.76 crore with net profit of Rs 69.65 crore.

Additionally, on June 25, 2025, Elitecon completed a 1:10 split whereby each equity share of Rs 10 was split into 10 shares of Rs 1; enhancing stock liquidity and investor participation.

Elitecon International Ltd, founded in 1987, is one of the largest manufacturers and traders in the tobacco industry, both at home and abroad.
