A renewed burst of buying interest lifted several large-cap, mid-cap and SME counters to fresh 52-week highs on Thursday, reflecting improving investor sentiment amid firm domestic cues. Stocks across telecom, chemicals, engineering and technology registered notable breakouts, signalling strong momentum heading into the final weeks of the year.
Apex Hits Upper Circuit, Breaks Past Previous High
Apex delivered the standout performance of the session, soaring 20% to a new 52-week high of ₹332.28. The stock comfortably cleared its earlier peak of ₹305.99, set just a day before. Strong volumes and uninterrupted upward momentum indicate active accumulation from short-term traders as well as momentum funds.
Bharti Airtel Extends Record-Building Rally
Telecom leader Bharti Airtel also touched a fresh high at ₹2,174.50, before closing marginally lower at ₹2,165. Supported by rising ARPU trends and a favourable tariff cycle, the counter has sustained strong institutional buying, making it one of the most consistent outperformers among blue-chip stocks this quarter.
Anuras Climbs Over 5%, Logs New High
Specialty chemicals player Anuras gained 5.32% to mark a new 52-week high of ₹1,255, surpassing its previous peak of ₹1,197. The breakout underscores steady confidence in mid-cap chemical names, backed by improving demand visibility and stable pricing trends.
Aimtron, Aprameya Touch New Peaks Despite Volatile Close
SME-listed Aimtron scaled a fresh high of ₹1,040, though it eventually slipped to ₹995, ending 1.74% lower. Momentum traders continue to monitor the counter closely as it forms a series of higher highs.
Aprameya also hit a new high at ₹360, edging past its previous level of ₹358.85. The stock later eased to ₹345, reflecting typical profit-taking after a sharp upside move. Despite the intraday dip, the breakout structure remains intact.
