Over the past 5 trading sessions alone, the company has gained 6.31 per cent.

Emcure Shares Boom

After reaching the high of Rs 1,440.80, the shares slumped, yet continued to be in green. Thereafter, there was a recovery that was observed. At 12:33 IST, Emcure shares gained by 1.44 per cent or Rs 20.00, taking the overall value of the share to Rs 1,405.20.  

According to reports, the company accrued a total revenue of Rs 1,815.14 crore in the previous quarter. Furthermore, the company also added an operating income of Rs 242.73 crore. The company's operating expenses stood at Rs 1,572.41 crore. In all, it saw a net income of Rs 144.08 crore.

A 'Buy' call is deemed a positive development and is issued at a time, when it is anticipated that the stock in focus is expected to grow and expand in the time to come. In the case of Emcure, Jefferies' bullishness comes after the stock has soared by about 40 per cent from its issue price of Rs 1,008.
