Best of all,there are no rumors floating around !
The Core Projects stock has fallen from more than Rs 250 on October 8 to Rs 75 at present.Market reports suggest that one big operator had pledged shares which results in stop losses getting triggered.
Commenting on the price fall, Prakash Gupta, CEO, Core Projects, said promoter holdings is still intact. “One reason could be that approximately 20 lakh FCCB shares were converted last month. In view of the global meltdown these shares could have been sold in the market. Also, some high networth individuals have some position in the company. This fall in price could be a result of some unwinding of positions.
”He said the entire FCCB amount hasn’t been converted yet. “The FCCB were worth USD 80 million and approximately USD 15-16 million still needs to be converted.”
But the volumes traded over the last two days is over 5 cr shares.
FCCB conversion 20 lakh shares and volumes 5 cr shares? Sounds interesting!
