ITC share price history suggests it has been trading in the range of Rs 200 to Rs 210, but after a month at this level, it has finally, surged more than 2.5 per cent to Rs 213.40 levels today. According to stock market experts, this rise in ITC share price is due to the newsbreak of the likely demerger of ITC companies into tobacco, FMCG and hotels. They said that the ITC shares may hit Rs 220 target in immediate terms while in the medium-term, it may go up to Rs 235 to Rs 240.
Speaking on the reason for rise in ITC share price, Mudit Goel, Senior Research Analyst at SMC said, "ITC share price is skyrocketing on talks of the demerger of its FMCG, hotel and Infotech business. Big demerger of ITC is on cards and three companies will be formed after the demerger, sources aware about the development." Goel went on to add that ITC shares have strong support at Rs 203 and it can immediately hit Rs 220 target and once it breaks this level, one can witness Rs 235 to Rs 240 in the medium-term time horizon. However, he maintained that the demerger of the ITC companies will take time.
