After a trading holiday on 14 April, Indian Metals & Ferro Alloys Ltd rebounded strongly, gaining 2.14% to close at Rs.1,417.65. The stock outperformed the Sensex, which rose 1.89% to 35,394.87.

Thursday, 16 April 2026: Breakout with New 52-Week and All-Time Highs
Indian Metals & Ferro Alloys Ltd surged dramatically on 16 April, hitting multiple milestones. The stock recorded an intraday high of Rs.1,559, marking a new 52-week high, and closed at Rs.1,552.55, up 9.52% on the day. This represented a remarkable two-day cumulative gain of over 12%. The intraday peak of Rs.1,534.7 was also an all-time high, reflecting strong buying interest and momentum.

Technical indicators supported this breakout, with the stock trading above all key moving averages (5-day through 200-day), and bullish signals from Bollinger Bands and monthly MACD. Despite some mildly bearish weekly MACD and KST signals, the overall trend was decisively positive. The stock’s P/E ratio stood at 21x TTM, with a modest dividend yield of 0.71%, underscoring a balanced valuation amid strong growth.
