On November 7, the share price of Elcid Investments hit the 5% upper circuit limit for the sixth consecutive session, surging to a remarkable Rs 3,16,597 per share. Known for its exceptional price movements, this stock continues to make buzz on Dalal Street, following an astounding 66,85,452% increase on October 29. Here’s a closer look at what’s driving this phenomenal rise and why it has become a headline-grabber.
The journey up-move for Elcid Investments share price began when it was relisted on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) as part of a unique initiative to bring transparency and fair price discovery to select investment holding companies. Leveraging a special call auction mechanism, this relisting propelled the share price to an unprecedented Rs 2,36,250 in a single trading session, instantly making it the most expensive stock on Dalal Street, a title previously held by MRF.
A primary catalyst for this extraordinary surge, the special call auction mechanism is designed to provide accurate price discovery for stocks like Elcid Investments, which generally trade infrequently and at undervalued prices. By inviting market participants to bid in a structured environment, the BSE successfully reestablished Elcid’s market worth, reflecting investor demand and intrinsic value.
Now, here’s an astonishing comparison: the combined market price of all Nifty50 companies stands at approximately Rs 1,32,469.5. Elcid Investments alone, with its current valuation, is worth nearly 2.4 times the aggregate price of these industry giants. To put it in perspective, the top three expensive Nifty50 stocks—Maruti Suzuki India, Ultratech, and Bajaj Auto—pale in comparison to the single-unit valuation of Elcid Investments.
