Continuing its rally for the third consecutive trading session, shares of BlackBuck’s parent Zinka Logistics Solutions Ltd surged as much as 10% to hit its upper circuit of INR 499.05 on the BSE today (December 19).
However, the stock pared some gains to end the day’s trading session 9.5% higher at INR 497 on the BSE.
The company’s market capitalisation stood at INR 8,770.99 at the day’s session end and as many as 11.05 Lakh shares traded during the day.
The stock has given a return of 13.85% in the last five sessions, far surpassing the BSE’s negative return of 1.88% during the given period. Meanwhile, it is up 78.10% since its listing on November 22.
Not to mention, the stock debuted at a modest premium of 2.2% at INR 279.05 on the BSE against the IPO issue price of INR 273.
Today’s rally in the stock comes despite the broader Indian benchmark indices like BSE and NSE ending in the red, as the Federal Reserve, while announcing a quarter percentage point rate cut, said there will be only two additional cuts in 2025.
While Sensex fell 1.2% (or 964.16 points) to end the day’s trade at 79,218.05, Nifty 50 was also down 1.02% (or 247.15 points) at 23,951.70 for the day.
Since the company, on December 13, reported a net loss of INR 308.38 Cr in the September quarter of fiscal year 2024-25 (Q2 FY25), its stock has increased 17.39%.
This INR 308.38 Cr loss was a 7.8X increase from the INR 39.67 Cr loss it registered in the year-ago quarter.
The company incurred a share-based payment expense of INR 320.74 Cr for the quarter, which if not applied, would have yielded a net profit of INR 38.92 Cr during the quarter under review.
Its top line also grew in the period under review, with revenue from operations increasing 56% to INR 98.77 Cr in Q2 FY25 from INR 63.37 Cr in the year-ago quarter. Sequentially, revenue increased 7% from INR 92.16 Cr.
