Shares of Gujarat Fluorochemicals rose 23.73% in the past 5 trading sessions, closing at Rs 3143 on Thursday, and was among the top gainers among the Large Caps. The upward move in the share price comes on the back of the company posting strong results with strong realisation in caustic soda and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) that boosted profitability. The company recorded a 58.87% increase in revenue to Rs 1007.48 crore during Q3FY22. This came with an operating margin expansion of 910 bps and resulted in a 123.53% growth in operating profit to Rs 316.96 crore. Management remains confident about a strong pick up in earnings growth momentum with a strong pricing environment for PTFE. The company is also expected to benefit from the proposed capacity expansion in these verticals in FY23.
PB Fintech, the parent of online insurance and credit comparison platforms Policybazaar and Paisabazaar was among the large caps stocks that rallied this week, rising 18.61% to close at Rs 936.1 on Thursday. The company announced a partnership with life insurance giant LIC this week. As part of the agreement, IPO-bound LIC's products will now be available on the online insurance policy aggregator’s platform and help it expand its reach. The partnership will also see state-run insurers use a private aggregator to distribute products to further boost their online presence. The partnership is seen as highly beneficial for PolicyBazaar.
Noida Headquartered Indian pure-play internet company, Info Edge (India) was among the top performers among the large caps this week and was up by 13.25% by the market close on Thursday.
