Shares worth less than Rs 1 created a stir, penny stocks hit upper circuit of 20%


Amidst the ups and downs in the Indian stock market, a small penny stock has attracted the attention of all the investors and analysts of Dalal Street with its stormy rise. This very cheap share, which was trading at a price of less than Re 1, suddenly got such a strong flood of buying that it reached the upper circuit of 20 percent. After this sudden surge in the stock, the commotion has intensified in the corridors of the market as to what is the real reason behind such a huge upper circuit in a single day in such a low priced penny stock. There has also been a huge increase in the trading volume of this stock, due to which the faces of retail investors have blossomed.

As soon as the opening bell of the stock market rang, heavy buying pressure was seen in this stock priced below ₹ 1. As soon as the investors got wind of the positive movement and orders related to this company in the market, the selling disappeared completely and the stock got locked directly at the upper circuit limit of 20 percent. There is generally a lack of volume in stocks priced at such low prices, but this penny stock has seen massive buying and selling of millions of shares. This unexpected rise has made huge profits for those small investors who had invested their capital in this stock for a long time.

According to market experts and reports, the rise in this penny stock of less than ₹ 1 is being attributed to the recent strategic steps taken by the company and new business developments. News is coming out that the company has started work on a special restructuring plan to reduce its outstanding debt and strengthen its balance sheet. Apart from this, positive news of the company getting new commercial orders and promoters retaining stake have also strengthened investor confidence. Due to all these positive aspects, both institutional and retail investors started buying this stock at lower levels, as a result of which the stock hit an upper circuit of 20 percent.

It is well known that penny stocks have the ability to give multibagger returns to their investors in a very short period of time, but at the same time they also involve a huge risk. In stocks priced below ₹1, circuit limits are imposed very quickly, which can make entry and exit challenging for investors. Financial advisors say that one should avoid investing money out of mere sentiment after seeing the rise in any penny stock. Investors should invest their hard-earned money only after thoroughly examining the company’s fundamentals, financial performance, debt-to-equity ratio and promoter holding.

After the stock hit the upper circuit of 20 percent, the biggest question now arising is whether this upward trend will continue in the coming trading sessions or whether profit booking will be seen at the upper levels. Analysts believe that if the company is successful in improving its fundamentals and shows improvement in the next quarter results, then there can be new possibilities of further rise in this stock. However, retail investors are advised to formulate their trading strategy in such high-risk, high-return penny stocks by setting appropriate stop loss and take any new decision only after taking the opinion of financial experts.
