Summary
Quess Corp’s ~5–7% share price increase indicates a positive sentiment in the market before its breakup into three specialized companies—Quess, Digitide, and Bluspring. Corporate approvals have been obtained, a fixed record date has been established, and the listings are coming smoothly, so investors are looking forward to not only clearer visibility of assets, but possibly stronger growth as well. Still, some short-term price volatility is probably going to happen as the individual parts start to trade and the index changes are implemented.
