52 Stocks Scale Fresh 52-Week Highs While 34 Hit New Lows on July 4

Mumbai, July 4: The market session, nearing the close on July 4, 2025, revealed a mixed sentiment across Indian equity markets, with 52 stocks scaling new 52-week highs while 34 stocks simultaneously hit fresh 52-week lows. This divergence highlights the prevailing sectoral churn and stock-specific investment flows.

Top Gainers Breach Fresh Highs

Among the prominent outperformers, SML Isuzu Ltd saw a significant surge of 8.81%, reaching a new 52-week high of ₹2,718. This surpassed its previous peak of ₹2,490 recorded just the day before. Similarly, Choice International Ltd climbed 5.81% to hit ₹734.4, exceeding its last high of ₹723.

Other notable stocks that scaled fresh 52-week highs include:

While some stocks reached new highs, signs of profit booking were evident as they closed marginally below those levels. For instance, Divi’s Labs touched ₹6,945 before easing to ₹6,895.5, and CSB Bank hit ₹412.45 but settled at ₹410.45.

Laggards Touch Fresh Lows Despite Intra-day Recovery

On the downside, Dreamfolks Services saw a sharp decline of 13.31%, plunging to a new 52-week low of ₹186, significantly below its previous trough of ₹209.08. The Groww Nifty India Internet ETF also slipped to ₹9.90, breaching its earlier low of ₹9.95.

Other significant new lows:

Despite hitting new lows, a few stocks like Krishival Foods and Protean eGov Technologies managed to recover slightly by the market close, indicating some intra-day buying interest.

Market Mood: Range-Bound with Stock-Specific Moves

The distinct split between stocks hitting new highs and those touching new lows underscores a market driven by sectoral rotation and highly stock-specific trade flows. Investors appear to be reallocating capital into select mid-cap and thematic counters while simultaneously engaging in profit booking in high-growth names and recent IPOs. The broader market benchmarks, Nifty and Sensex, have been consolidating, with Nifty trading below the 25,500 resistance but above the crucial support at 25,300.

With the first-quarter earnings season now underway, market participants anticipate increased volatility and continued sector rotation as corporate results and incoming economic data shape overall market sentiment. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) continue to show net selling activity, though robust domestic institutional investor (DII) inflows have helped to cushion market declines, highlighting the growing resilience of domestic liquidity.

What’s Next?

The market is showing clear stock-specific action, with 52 stocks hitting new 52-week highs and 34 touching fresh lows on July 4. This reflects sector rotation and selective investor interest, especially in mid-caps, defence, and specialty chemicals, while weak sentiment drags down recent IPOs and platform-based stocks. With Q1 earnings season kicking off, market direction will hinge on corporate results and macro data. Indices remain range-bound, and while FIIs are selling, strong DII inflows are providing support. Going forward, smart stock picking and earnings resilience will be key.
