Fortis Healthcare Achieves 52-Week High Amidst Market Consolidation Trends

Fortis Healthcare has made headlines today as its stock price reached a new 52-week high of Rs. 793.45. This milestone reflects the company's strong performance over the past year, with a remarkable increase of 67.18%, significantly outpacing the Sensex, which has risen by only 5.75% during the same period.

The small-cap segment is leading the market today, with the BSE Small Cap index gaining 0.59%. Overall, Fortis Healthcare's recent performance highlights its resilience in a competitive industry.
