About ITC

History of ITC Ltd

ITC Ltd was incorporated in 1910 under the name Imperial Tobacco Company of India Ltd. Over time, the company was Indianised and is currently titled 'ITC Ltd,' where 'ITC' is a word in itself and no longer the initials for Imperial Tobacco Company. As the earlier name suggests, it started out as a major tobacco company. In 1975, it ventured into the hospitality business and thereafter started diversifying further into packaged foods, education & stationery products, incense sticks and safety matches, hotels, paperboards and packaging, agribusiness and information technology. The company became a public limited company in 1954. Today, it is a fully professionally managed company, i.e. it does not have any promoters. As of June 2023, LIC holds a stake of around 15.26% in the company.

According to leading brokerage firms, ITC's stock price has dropped by approximately 20 percent from its highest point. This decline presents an opportunity for investors to buy, as the valuations become appealing.The correction in ITC's stock price came after the news of a stake sale by British American Tobacco. HSBC mentioned that this correction indicated an attractive valuation for ITC's cigarette business. Despite concerns about taxation, this situation offers a favorable opportunity for buying.Consequently, HSBC has upgraded its recommendation for ITC to 'buy', with a price target of Rs 480 for the stock.
