Please find intimation of amalgamation of Crisil Canada Inc. and Crisil PriceMetrix Co. Historically, acquisition / m&a events have moved CRISIL-type stocks in the bullish direction 48.9% of the next sessions (n=141).

CRISIL Ltd. has informed the exchanges of an amalgamation involving two overseas subsidiaries — Crisil Canada Inc. and Crisil PriceMetrix Co. — according to an NSE filing dated 21 July. The company disclosed the intimation after market hours, with the document timestamped at 22:54. The event is classified as an Acquisition/M&A catalyst with a bullish bias in Strota's framework.

Events like this have historically shown a 48.9% win rate across 141 comparable occurrences in Indian markets, with a net edge of 0.213% — meaning slightly more than half of such announcements have been followed by positive short-term returns, though the average magnitude has been modest. This base rate reflects the historical tendency for M&A news to produce mixed price reactions rather than consistent directional moves.

The stock closed at ₹4,302.4 on 21 July, up 1.62% versus the previous session and outperforming the Nifty 50, which fell 0.39%. Relative volume stood at 2.05, indicating twice-normal trading activity. Technically, CRISIL trades 28.23% below its 52-week high of ₹5,995 and 16.72% above its 52-week low of ₹3,686. The 14-day RSI reads 65.9, near but not in overbought territory. The stock sits above its 50-day simple moving average but below the 200-day. Valuation metrics show a price-to-earnings ratio of 37.5 and price-to-book of 10.37, with a market capitalisation of ₹31,463 crore.

The filing establishes that a corporate restructuring is underway; it does not specify financial terms, completion timelines, or expected synergies. The data does not indicate whether the amalgamation will be earnings-accretive or what regulatory approvals may be required.
