Just a few days ago, on Friday, May 23, investors in Apollo Micro Systems were stunned when the stock dropped nearly 11% — a surprising move especially since the Nifty index was up over 1% on the same day. Speculation buzzed: Was this due to poor results, FII/DII profit booking, or something more hidden?
Later, the company issued a clarification. A typographical error in the consolidated cash flow statement had mistakenly listed a date as 2023 instead of 2024. While the error was minor and corrected promptly, it appears to have caused a ripple in investor sentiment — at least for a while.
Fast Forward to May 27 – The Bounce-Back
On Monday, May 27, the stock opened quietly at ₹140.45 and even saw a slight dip to ₹140.10. But then came the real action.
By 10:38 AM, Apollo Micro Systems’ share price had surged to ₹159.87, marking a 13.64% rally — and this, with the whole trading day still ahead.
Why the Sudden Surge?
This powerful move suggests multiple possible reasons:
-
Investor confidence returned after the clarification of the earlier error.
-
Last week’s fall might have been viewed as an overreaction, triggering bargain buying.
-
Potential institutional buying could have pushed the price further.
