Apollo Hospitals has grabbed the market’s attention — and how. The stock hit a fresh 52-week high of Rs 7,583, rallying over 2 per cent intraday today (July 1, 2025), as investors cheered its plans to carve out its digital and pharmacy business into a separate listed entity. The move, seen as a value unlocker, has given fresh legs to the stock that was already on a steady run.
What’s moving the stock
- Big demerger move: Apollo is spinning off its digital health and pharmacy arm into a separate company. Existing shareholders will get shares in the new entity — a classic value-unlocking play.
- Expansion story intact: The company plans to add 4,300 beds in the next few years, with Rs 6,000 crore earmarked for the task.

What this means for investors
Apollo’s story is strong: earnings beat, growth plans and now a demerger catalyst. But at 72x earnings, it’s priced for perfection. If you’re in, stay watchful. If you’re out, maybe wait for a better entry point.
