The Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex showed positive momentum on 15 July, reversing declines from the previous session.
The Nifty 50 was trading near 25,220, up around 0.56% at the time of writing. The BSE Sensex surpassed 82,600, with a gain of over 425 points.
HCL Technologies saw a sharp decline after a disappointing earnings report, making it the top loser among large caps. Stocks like Hero Moto Corp and Sun Pharma on the other hand gained.
One stock that saw a spectacular rally is Rallis India.
Let's tell you about some reasons for the same.
Rallis India reported superb results for Q1 FY26. Revenue increased 22% YoY to Rs 9,570 m, supported by strong demand and successful product launches in crop protection and seeds segments.
Net profit nearly doubled (up 98% YoY) to Rs 950 m from Rs 480 m in the same quarter last year.
Rallis India witnessed double-digit volume-led growth of 13% in crop care B2C, 23% in crop care B2B, and 38% in seeds business. The company's soil & plant health business registered growth of 33% in line with its strategy.
The second reason for gains in the stock was the sharp uptick in margins. The EBITDA margin surged to 15.6% compared to 12.2% a year ago, indicating better operational efficiency.
The profit after tax margins jumped from 6% in Q1 FY25 to 10% in Q1 FY26. This was largely on account of the company's actions on improving product mix and driving cost optimisation.
Both these factors led to a sharp increase in the stock price of the company.
In fact, the stock hit a new 52-week high in trade today, 15 July. The shares jumped as much as 9% intra-day.
The results of Rallis India undoubtedly points to a strong performance.
The company launched nine new products across herbicide, fungicides and insecticides. It plans to introduce some more in the coming quarters. The company saw momentum on its North Cotton seeds hybrids, particularly "Diggaz".
Rallis India remains cautiously optimistic for the quarter ahead. Key watchouts according to the company would be the liquidation of placed products in both crop care B2C and seeds.
On the export front, it expects a gradual recovery during the year.
On a long-term basis, Rallis India says that customer centricity would remain a key thrust area. The company plans to continue to offer differentiated solutions to solve varying farmer needs. It will also further intensify efforts to build capabilities in manufacturing, digitalisation, and leverage.
Early onset of monsoon and signs of global demand recovery for some products have also contributed to optimism for Rallis India.
Also, product launches are likely to remain strong going forward.
Over the last one month, the share price of Rallis India gained 15% almost from levels of Rs 318 to the current levels of Rs 364. The shares of the company gained 7% in the last one year.
The stock hit a 52-week high of Rs 385.6 on 15 July 2025. The stock also hit a 52-week low of Rs 196 on 3 March 2025.
