The stock gained as much as 19.5 percent intraday from, day low, recouping the losses incurred over the previous six trading sessions. After opening on a flat note with a positive bias, LT Foods climbed to the day’s high of Rs. 440.

Heavy Trading Volumes Drive Momentum

The sharp rally was accompanied by a massive surge in volumes. NSE data showed 32 million shares changed hands, compared to around 0.5 million equities in the previous session. On the BSE, the stock advanced 12.7 percent 

Technical Reasons

The stock price of LT Foods Limited was trading below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, indicating a weak short-term trend.
