Multibagger auto component stock Rane Madras jumps 9% after land sale move worth over ₹360 crore
Multibagger auto component stock Rane (Madras) jumped over 9 per cent in intraday trade on the BSE on Friday, June 27, after the company said it had entered an agreement to sell a land parcel in Chennai.
The small-cap stock opened at ₹ 873.70 against its previous close of ₹ 863.80 and jumped 9.4 per cent to an intraday high of ₹ 945.25. Around 2:25 PM, Rane (Madras) share price traded almost 8 per cent up at ₹ 932. Equity benchmark Sensex was 0.22 per cent up at 83,941 at that time.
During market hours on June 27, the company said in an exchange filing that it had entered into an agreement with Canopy Living LLP, which is a joint venture between Arihant Foundations & Housing Limited and Prestige Estates Project Limited, to sell 3.48 acres of land in Velachery, Chennai, for a consideration of ₹ 361.18 crore.
The company said this land monetisation will achieve twin objectives of reducing debt and integrating city offices of various divisions to further unlock the merger's long-term cost synergies.
The total extent of land in Velachery is 4.50 acres. Rane (Madras) said it would retain the balance portion of the land, where a new office will be constructed.
Rane (Madras) is part of the Rane Group of Companies, a leading auto component group based out of Chennai. The company claims to be a preferred supplier to major OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) and the aftermarket in India and abroad.

According to the company's statement, it serves various industry segments, including passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, farm tractors, two-wheelers, three-wheelers, railways, and stationary engines.
Over the last five years, the small-cap stock has given a multibagger return of nearly 300 per cent.
However, the stock's performance over the last year has been muted. It has gained just 4 per cent in the last one year, hitting a 52-week low of ₹ 577.95 on March 11 this year and a 52-week high of ₹ 1,525.75 on August 22 last year.
On a monthly scale, however, the stock has been in the green since March this year. In June so far, the small-cap stock has gained about 3 per cent.

Sensex reclaims 84K level for first time since October, nears peak
Benchmark indices rose for a fourth straight session on Friday, with the Sensex closing above the 84,000 mark for the first time since October 1, 2024. The rally was fuelled by improving sentiment amid easing geopolitical tensions and optimism over potential trade deals between the US and its trading partners. Both indices posted weekly gains of 2 per cent, the most since the week ended May 16. The Nifty rose 0.35 per cent, or 89 points, to settle at 25,638, while the BSE Sensex climbed 0.36 per cent, or 303 points, to close at 84,059. Both benchmarks ended at their highest levels since October 1. In the broader market, the Nifty Smallcap 100 and Midcap 100 indices gained 4.3 per cent and 2.4 per cent, respectively, over the week. Most of the week's gains were driven by HDFC Bank and Reliance Industries (RIL), the top two weights in the Sensex and Nifty. RIL rose 3.5 per cent this week, supported by upbeat earnings forecasts from multiple brokerages. HDFC Bank gained 2.5 per cent during the week on expectations of lower funding costs and strong gross domestic product growth. The Nifty and Sensex are now trading less than 3 per cent below their all-time highs, last seen on September 27. The week's gains followed the announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, which led to a decline in oil prices. The Nifty Metal index outperformed this week, jumping nearly 5 per cent as a weaker dollar lifted the global outlook for commodities by making them more affordable. Expectations of deeper US rate cuts and uncertainty ahead of former President Donald Trump's July 9 tariff deadline weighed on the dollar. 'Things are looking better on the geopolitical front, and there is hope that the US and its key trading partners will reach a deal,' said Ambareesh Baliga, independent equity analyst. Even if a deal doesn't materialise before the July 9 deadline, there's a chance of an extension, Baliga said. Market breadth was positive, with 2,165 stocks advancing and 1,846 declining. Foreign portfolio investors were net buyers to the tune of ₹1,397 crore, while domestic institutional investors were net sellers to the tune of ₹589 crore. The total market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms rose by ₹2.5 trillion to ₹460 trillion ($5.4 trillion). 'For trend-following traders, 25,500–25,300 on the Nifty and 83,300-82,700 on the Sensex would act as crucial retracement support zones. As long as the market remains above these levels, the uptrend is likely to continue on the higher side, with 25,850/84,400 serving as the immediate resistance level,' said Amol Athawale, VP-Technical Research, Kotak Securities. Meanwhile, the rupee strengthened for the second consecutive day on Friday, supported by likely inflows from global funds and a weaker dollar index. The domestic currency closed 22 paise higher at 85.49, a day after closing at 86.71 against the dollar. The currency saw its best week since January 2023, driven mainly by a plunge in crude oil prices amid Israel-Iran conflicts.
