Recently, there was a report in the media that US ratings agency Standard & Poor’s, which holds more than half of the stake in domestic rating agency, Crisil, is likely to make an open offer for the balance stake soon. There is no announcement from CRISIL in this regard thus far. Currently, S&P holds 55.08% stake in Crisil, while FIIs hold about 9.44%.

In November 2006, CRSIL announced its decision to transfer the assets and staff of CRISIL MarketWire (CMW) to the TV18 group.

CRISIL reported a 62% jump to Rs 22.86 crore in its net profit on a consolidated basis in the September 2006 quarter. Operating revenue increased 57% to Rs 80.92 crore due to good growth witnessed in all its segments, specially the research and information services segment (RISS).

Recently, International Finance Corporation awarded development of an environmental, social and corporate governance index for India to a consortium led by S&P and CRISIL

So,snv,what is the price implication.Inspite of so many plus points,why investor fancy is not there as seen from the vol.Is it because of low liquidity,already high priced or high volatality.the stock was in lower circuit the day before the announcement.Any steam still left in the stock?

CRISIL is a great stock! One can buy this stock and have a sound sleep. I am holding CRISIL for over 3 years. Simply spectacular returns.

As expected the 4th quarter result is'nt announce yet. The audited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2006 within 3 months from the end of the last quarter i.e. Before March 31, 2007.
