There are several stocks that are expected to stay under the radar today as they have been in the news for some important corporate updates, funding activities, orders, expansion of their businesses, and changes in management. These stocks will be watched carefully by investors to see what reaction the markets may generate from them.
JSW Infrastructure
JSW Infrastructure has initiated a large funding activity through the QIP of 23 crore equity shares. The company has determined the base price for the issue as ₹290.35 per share. Alongside, the Sajjan Jindal Family Trust is planning to offload up to 3.3 crore shares through an Offer for Sale (OFS).
This funding drive is expected to help the company achieve its growth goals, especially those related to acquisition of new port infrastructure concessions.
BEL
In addition to the orders worth ₹1,081 crores bagged by Defence PSUs BEL Limited after May 25, new orders have been won in the areas of defence electronics, communication systems, radar systems, and weapon systems integration.
The stream of fresh orders further strengthens the already healthy order book of BEL, which is a result of government initiatives towards modernizing its defense sector. The stock can be kept under observation because of the growth driver of order flows.
Vodafone Idea
The board of directors of Vodafone Idea has approved the issuance of 430 crore warrants to Suryaja Investments for an aggregate consideration of ₹1,182 crore. These warrants have been issued at a price of ₹11 per warrant.
This fundraising activity will go a long way in improving the finances of this telecommunications company as it looks forward to investing in its networks and launching the 5G services in the coming time.
Info Edge (India)
Info Edge (India), which owns Naukri.com, has drawn attention to its increased involvement in India's entrepreneurial landscape. According to a shareholder letter, the firm mentioned that it had provided funding worth ₹1,003 crore to 54 startups specializing in artificial intelligence and deep technology since 2020.
The company further announced that it had invested around ₹4,900 crore in 135 startups operating in different industries.
GHV Infra
GHV Infra has bagged a sub-contract worth ₹213 crore from GHV India. This contract includes complete engineering and composite construction at a railway coach manufacturing facility in West Bengal.
The new contract improves visibility of the company’s project pipeline and earnings. Infrastructure companies with good execution capacity are seeing positive benefits due to higher spending by public sectors in transportation and railways.
Electronics Mart India
Electronics Mart India has opened yet another multi-brand electronics store in Telangana as part of its continued efforts to enhance its presence in southern markets.
Expansion of stores will continue to be an important growth driver for the retailer as it tries to tap into the growing demand for electronics and appliances.
Transrail Lighting
The spotlight on Transrail Lighting is going to be on due to the resignation letter sent by Deputy Managing Director Raman Rajagopalan of the company’s executive board. His resignation will become effective from July 31.
Although there is no threat to the smooth functioning of the company, investors always keep a watchful eye on such developments.
