In the world of stocks, milestones are often markers of significant achievement and indicators of a company’s performance. Recently, the Nifty Auto index witnessed a remarkable event as it hit a fresh 52-week high, with one of its heavyweight constituents, Mahindra and Mahindra, reaching an all-time high on Tuesday.
Mahindra and Mahindra’s journey to this pinnacle was nothing short of impressive. Opening at Rs 1967, the stock surged to an intraday high of Rs 2003.30. This was a historic moment for the company as it breached the psychologically crucial Rs 2000 mark for the first time. However, as the trading day drew to a close, profit booking ensued, causing the stock to settle below the Rs 2000 threshold.
The heightened activity surrounding Mahindra and Mahindra’s stock was evident from the record volume of 36.14 lakh shares traded, surpassing the averages of both the 10 and 30-day periods. This surge in trading activity reflects the heightened investor interest and confidence in the company’s prospects.
Delving into the stock’s rally from Rs 1000 to Rs 2000 sheds light on the intricacies of its price movements. Here’s a breakdown of the trading days and calendar days it took for Mahindra and Mahindra to reach each successive Rs 100 milestone:
| Price point | Trading Days | Calendar Days |
| Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,100 | 21 | 29 |
| Rs 1,100 to Rs 1,200 | 24 | 34 |

It’s fascinating to observe the fluctuations and patterns within Mahindra and Mahindra’s stock movement. While it took a total of 459 trading sessions for the stock to double from Rs 1000 to Rs 2000, there were noteworthy variations along the way. The speediest Rs 100 gain occurred between the Rs 1800 to Rs 1900 range, spanning just four trading sessions. In contrast, the slowest Rs 100 gain was witnessed between Rs 1300 to Rs 1400, taking a staggering 189 trading days.
Mahindra and Mahindra’s ascent to the Rs 2000 milestone is not just a testament to its own performance but also reflects broader market dynamics and investor sentiment. As it continues its journey, investors eagerly await the next chapter in this compelling saga.
