Valiant Laboratories Sees Significant Buying Activity Amid Broader Market Decline

This marks the second consecutive day of gains for Valiant Laboratories, accumulating a total return of 5.17% over this period. The stock opened with a notable gap up of 3.06% and reached an intraday high of Rs 92.71.
