Cochin Shipyard Shares Surge Amid NATO Defense Spending Discussions
Imagine countries are like friends in a club (NATO).
Some friends haven't been spending enough money on things like security, according to some.
Now, leaders are talking about each friend spending a bigger part of their money on this.
This idea caused a company that makes ships for defense to get a lot more valuable.
Other similar companies also saw their value go up.
The goal is for the club to be ready to face any dangers.
Cochin Shipyard shares surged up to 13% on Thursday.
The gain extends a three-day increase of 20%.
Other defense-linked companies also saw gains.
The move follows calls to increase defense spending by US and NATO officials.
NATO is considering a substantial shift in its spending targets.
