Samvardhana Motherson has 1M shares change hands in a block

Samvardhana Motherson International Limited (SAMIL) has witnessed a significant shift in its shareholder base, with approximately 1 million shares changing hands in a block trade. This development comes amidst the company's strategic acquisitions aimed at expanding its global footprint and strengthening its partnerships with major automotive manufacturers.

The recent block trade, valued at around $184 million, marks a significant move by the company as it acquires an 81% stake in Yutaka Giken Co., Ltd. (YGCL) and an 11% stake in its subsidiary Shinnichi Kogyo Co., Ltd. (Shinnichi). Additionally, SAMIL will gain full control of Yutaka Autoparts India Private Limited (Yutaka India) [1].

The acquisitions, approved by the company's board on August 29, are expected to deepen SAMIL's partnership with Honda Motor Co., Ltd. and expand its business with Japanese OEMs. The deal, valued at $184 million, is subject to regulatory approvals from authorities in Japan, the United States, China, Brazil, and Mexico. The expected completion date is Q1 FY 2026-27 [2].

The block trade reflects investor sentiment towards SAMIL's strategic expansion and its potential to capitalize on new opportunities in the global auto component market. The company's extensive global presence, with operations across nine countries, including Japan, China, the United States, Thailand, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Mexico, and the Philippines, positions it well for future growth [1].

Despite the recent block trade, SAMIL's shares have remained relatively stable, trading flat at ₹92.09 as of July 2, 2025. The stock has shown a decline of over 10% in the last one month, reflecting broader market conditions and investor expectations [2].
