91 Stocks Hit 52-Week Highs, 25 Touch New Lows as Markets Navigate Volatile Sentiment

Mumbai, June 30, 2025 – Indian equity benchmarks continued to rise on Monday, with strong participation from all sectors pushing 91 equities to new 52-week highs. At the same time, 25 stocks fell to new lows, showing a big difference in market breadth.
Even while the broader indices are just below record highs—Sensex rose around 3.5% in June but is still about 2.5% behind its all-time high—this split shows that things are still changing. Large-cap stocks, driven by financials and metals, did very well, but mid- and small-cap stocks did not. The small- and mid-cap indices actually did better, going up around 0.5% and 0.3%, respectively, which added to the mixed feelings.
Key factors that helped the market rise were lower geopolitical tensions, a weaker US dollar because of bad jobs statistics, and revived foreign investment. But taking profits in high-valuation bank firms like HDFC Bank brought the indices down.
52-Week Highs: Strong Momentum Across Auto, Pharma, Capital Goods, and Financials
A combination of earnings optimism, robust sector-specific triggers, and fund inflows lifted a wide basket of stocks to new peaks. Auto components, fertilisers, and specialty chemicals led the charts.
Key High Achievers:
| Company | New 52W High (₹) | Previous High (₹) | LTP (₹) | Change (₹) | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Force Motors | 16,300.00 | 14,589.00 | 16,160.00 | 1,660.00 | 11.45% |
| Sanofi Consumer Healthcare | 5,894.50 | 5,520.00 | 5,700.00 | 687.00 | 13.70% |
| EI Fresh Foods | 260.02 | 251.00 | 259.88 | 43.19 | 19.93% |
| Deepak Fertilisers | 1,724.00 | 1,637.00 | 1,716.50 | 122.40 | 7.68% |

| Banco Products | 648.00 | 635.00 | 645.20 | 56.00 | 9.50% |
AXISCADES Technologies, ASK Automotive, ITD Cementation, Gabriel India, and Solar Industries also had big gains. This shows that investors are feeling good about themes of growth in infrastructure and industry.
ETF counters like AXISBANKETF, BANKBEES, and HDFC Nifty Bank ETF all reached new highs, which shows that institutional investors are moving money into financial sector indexes.
52-Week Lows: Pressure Persists in Micro-Cap and Penny Stocks
Despite the broader rally, a pocket of the market faced continued selling pressure. A total of 25 stocks touched their 52-week lows, primarily in the BZ, BE, and SM categories, indicating stress in micro-cap counters.
Key Decliners:
| Company | New 52W Low (₹) | Previous High (₹) | LTP (₹) | Change (₹) | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rajoo Engineers | 108.73 | 109.85 | 108.73 | -12.09 | -10.01% |
| SKIL Infrastructure | 2.56 | 2.68 | 2.56 | -0.14 | -5.19% |
| Osia Hyper Retail | 13.18 | 13.88 | 13.18 | -0.70 | -5.04% |
| Sadhana Nitrochem | 8.93 | 9.40 | 8.93 | -0.47 | -5.00% |
| CMICABLES | 3.00 | 3.09 | 3.00 | -0.15 | -4.76% |
Scrips such as Digitide Solutions, 21st Century Mgmt, Jindal Worldwide, and Nephro Care also saw cuts amid low liquidity and weak technical setups.
Market View
The big difference between the number of highs and lows shows that there is a selective rally going on. Institutions are buying firms with high growth and earnings, but they are still avoiding speculative or underperforming stocks.
As quarterly results come out in July, analysts think this stock-specific behaviour will continue. Smart money will probably follow consistent performers in the auto, healthcare, capital goods, and financial sectors.
