Elitecon International Rises 5% Despite Broad Market Weakness
Elitecon International is a very low-priced stock.
Its shares rose 5% on Thursday even though the wider market was uncertain.
The shares first fell to ₹7.09, their lowest price in a year, before recovering to ₹7.83.
However, the company’s share price has dropped sharply over recent weeks and months.
It is down more than 96% from its reported high of ₹237.
The broader market was affected by expensive oil, geopolitical tensions and concerns about US interest rates.
One market expert warned that continued high oil prices could hurt India’s economic growth and company profits.
Elitecon has also changed its board and senior management.
The company says these appointments will improve its governance and support future growth.
Elitecon International shares gained 5% on September 10 after opening at a 52-week low of ₹7.09.
The stock recovered to ₹7.83, but remained down 15% in one week and about 55% in one month.
Sensex and Nifty later recovered despite concerns over crude prices, geopolitical tensions and possible US rate increases.
The stock has fallen more than 96% in one year from its reported 52-week high of ₹237.
