Shares of state-owned NBFC IFCI Ltd surged in Friday's early trading session, extending gains for the second straight day. The stock climbed 10.75 per cent to hit a day high of Rs 59.84.
Some market experts linked the uptick to IFCI's indirect exposure to the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE). IFCI holds a stake in NSE through its majority ownership of Stock Holding Corporation of India Ltd (SHCIL).
The sharp move in the counter also came amid renewed attention on NSE's much-awaited initial public offering (IPO). According to a release, the exchange has appointed 20 merchant bankers and eight law firms for its proposed IPO.
Ravi Singh, Chief Research Officer at Mastertrust, said IFCI has investments linked to NSE and the stock has been reacting following an update related to the exchange's long-awaited IPO.
Kranthi Bathini, Director of Equity Strategy at WealthMills Securities, also noted that IFCI's share price movement appears connected to a development around the NSE IPO.
Kunal Kamble, Senior Technical Research Analyst at Bonanza, said, "Immediate support is placed near Rs 55, while strong support lies around the Rs 52–50 range. On the upside, resistance is seen near Rs 60, followed by Rs 65 level. A decisive breakout above Rs 65 with volume could trigger fresh momentum towards the Rs 68–70 zone.
