Global Markets:

Stocks in Spotlight:

• India achieved a significant milestone on June 13 with Madras Rubber Factory (MRF) becoming the country’s first stock to reach a six-digit value. However, it’s important to note that MRF experiences thin trading volumes, with an average of approximately 9,000 shares traded over the past month. Despite this, the stock managed to surge by 1 percent to reach Rs 100,000 on June 13, driven by approximately 12,000 shares changing hands.
• Mankind Pharma witnessed a significant surge of 3 percent on June 13, reaching a 52-week high at Rs 1,540. The boost came following the initiation of coverage by foreign brokerage firm JP Morgan, which assigned an ‘overweight’ rating to the pharmaceutical company’s shares. With a target price set at Rs 1,700, indicating a 10-percent upside potential from the recent high.
• Zee Entertainment witnessed a challenging start on June 13, with its shares opening 4 percent lower following the Securities and Exchange Board of India’s (SEBI) decision to bar chairman Subhash Chandra and CEO Punit Goenka from holding key managerial positions due to allegations of power abuse. However, as the trading day progressed, the stock managed to recover most of its losses and closed flat. SEBI investigators highlighted the significant decline in ZEEL’s share price from Rs 600 to Rs 200 between FY19 and FY23, despite the company’s profitability, which raised concerns about the company’s overall health.
