STOCKS TODAY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Mahindra and Mahindra:<\/strong> The Shares fell as much as 6 percent, setting it up for the biggest weekly fall in five years. There has been a slew of news flow concerning investors, including increasing competition in the EV space, possible over-valuation of the stock price, and the company’s recent plans of investing in the rights issue of two of its listed subsidiaries.<\/span><\/p>

Alkem Laboratories:<\/strong> The shares fell after a large deal worth Rs 300 crore took place on the exchanges. As much as 6.41 lakh shares of the drugmaker were sold through the large deal at a floor price of Rs 4,680 apiece. The floor price of the large deal reflected a discount from the previous closing price of the stock.<\/span><\/p>

Religare Enterprises:<\/strong> The Shares climbed over 9 percent after the Burman family acquired majority control of the company, getting designated as \u2018promoters\u2019. This comes following a Rs 2,116 crore open offer issued by the Burmans for acquiring an additional 26 percent stake in Religare Enterprises received a tepid response.<\/span><\/p>

Bandhan Bank:<\/strong> The Shares were buzzing in trade with a 5 percent surge after global brokerage firm CLSA upgraded the stock to a ‘high-conviction outperform’, foreseeing a massive 61 percent upside potential. The brokerage pegged a price target of Rs 220 for the stock, largely backed by the lender’s outperformance over peers in the current MFI cycle.<\/span><\/p>

BHEL:<\/strong> Shares of Bharat Heavy Electricals fell over a percent for a third consecutive session, falling on the back of a Rs 30 crore arbitration case recently initiated against the company. Ducon Technologies initiated arbitration proceedings for recovering nearly Rs 27 crore, alongside other interests amounting to BHEL.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
