Abakkus Flexi Cap Fund has likely exited Cyient DLM, with its shareholding falling below the 1% disclosure threshold. Trendlyne data showed that Sunil Singhania had increased his stake in the company by 0.2% in Q1.
The potential exit comes after a sharp rally in the stock, which surged 210% over six months and gained around 140% since the beginning of the year.
Last month, Abakkus Asset Management filed its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for going public with an IPO.
The proposed initial public offering (IPO) will comprise an Offer for Sale (OFS) of 15 million equity shares, each having a face value of Rs 2. Since the issue is entirely an OFS, the proceeds from the share sale will go to existing selling shareholders.
The IPO is expected to have a 50% allocation for Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs), 15% for Non-Institutional Investors (NIIs), and 35% for retail investors. An employee reservation portion is also proposed as part of the issue structure.
For FY26, the company reported revenue of Rs 796 crore, up from Rs 707 crore in FY25 and Rs 479 crore in FY24. Profit after tax (PAT) rose to Rs 327 crore in FY26, compared with Rs 258 crore in FY25 and Rs 205 crore in FY24.
