Raymond share price jumped nearly 20% to hit a fresh 52-week high on Friday, 11 September. The stock’s intraday peak was 8.33% above Thursday’s close of ₹853.85 and 6.44% higher than the ₹869 lifetime high recorded earlier this week.
The sharp rally comes after Raymond completed the demerger of its lifestyle and real estate businesses into independent listed entities, while its aerospace and defence business continues to scale up.
The remaining Raymond is now focused on two engineering businesses — Aerospace & Defence and Precision Technology & Auto Components.
According to the filing, Raymond’s Aerospace & Defence business reported revenue of ₹123 crore in Q1 FY27, up 40.4% from ₹87 crore in the year-ago quarter. EBITDA rose 25.4% to ₹26 crore, with the segment delivering an EBITDA margin of 21.2%.
The segment contributed around 19.6% of Raymond’s consolidated total income of ₹628 crore during the quarter.
₹5,960 crore aerospace order book offers long-term growth visibility

The company also has an active request-for-quotation pipeline worth ₹1,632 crore, more than 2,000 active drawings and the capacity to introduce over 100 new engine SKUs annually.
The aerospace platform manufactures more than 1,300 aero-engine components, including over 350 parts for the CFM LEAP engine family, and serves more than 25 aerospace customers.
Raymond is also looking to move up the value chain from build-to-print components to complex assemblies, specialised processes and design-to-build solutions.

The company has disclosed its maiden build-to-spec order from a leading defence-aerospace OEM for specialised onboard storage systems, while mass production of precision components has begun for another leading defence OEM.
The company has not disclosed the identities of the customers or the value of the contracts.
Raymond has also appointed Bhanu Prakash Srivastava, former chairman and managing director of Bharat Electronics, as CEO–Defence. His mandate includes expanding the business beyond precision manufacturing into defence electronics, software and systems integration.
