Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC) shares rallied over 6% during Monday's trading session, halting a two-day losing streak and riding the broader market optimism. The stock touched an intraday high of ₹123.70, eventually trading 5.58% higher at ₹123. Despite today's gains, IRFC has slipped 18.16% year-to-date.
The rally coincides with a significant rebound in Indian equity markets, triggered in part by the recent ceasefire announcement between India and Pakistan. In addition, IRFC’s recent Q4 FY25 earnings and strategic fund-raising plan appear to have boosted investor sentiment.
