It’s not every day that a company’s share price drops over 60% in a single trading session. When Raymond Ltd saw its stock crash nearly 66.56% on May 15, it understandably raised some eyebrows. From ₹1,564.30 at Tuesday’s close to ₹523.10 on Wednesday, the plunge looked dramatic. But before jumping to conclusions, here’s what actually happened.

One small-cap stock that has drawn investor attention early on Wednesday, May 14, is HBL Engineering. Shares of the battery and railway safety solutions provider rose 5% in early trade, touching a high of ₹531.50 apiece on the BSE. The rally follows a significant regulatory milestone: approval for Version 4.0 of its Kavach System, a key safety mechanism for Indian Railways.

Indian stock markets opened on a strong note on Wednesday, driven by positive global sentiment and a sharp drop in retail inflation. The benchmark indices Nifty 50 and Sensex saw a healthy start, with Nifty 50 crossing the 24,700 mark and the Sensex climbing over 500 points in early trade.

Monday, 12 May, was a day of notable rally for Fusion Micro Finance Ltd., stock price, as it climbed over 8% in recent trading sessions. This was following the successful completion of the Warburg Pincus-backed NBFC’s ₹800 crore rights issue. The response to the offering was overwhelming, with the issue being oversubscribed by 1.5 times, indicating strong investor faith in the company’s future, especially at a time when the microfinance sector is regaining its growth momentum. 

Godfrey Phillips India has seen a steep rise in its stock price in 2025. By May 6th, the share price had reached ₹8,989, marking a 63% increase since the beginning of the year. This movement signals a notable shift in how the market values the company. The rise sets a new record for the stock, reflecting a reassessment of the company’s prospects or current performance. It stands out as a sharp gain over a relatively short span.
