There was a good rise in the Indian stock market last week. Both Sensex and Nifty closed with gains. During this period, shares of five companies gave returns ranging from 41 to 64 percent. Alpha Transformers remained at the forefront.
Business: The week of 26 to 30 October 2026 was very good for investors in the stock market. Amid the rise in Sensex and Nifty, shares of some small companies jumped strongly. The prices of these shares increased by more than 40 percent in just five trading days. The highest rise was seen in Alpha Transformers, which gave a return of 63.68 percent in one week. Shares of Raghuveer Synthetics, Gulf Lloyds, Spencer's Retail and Mahesh Developers also registered good gains.
There was good rise in Sensex and Nifty also
Major indices of the stock market registered gains last week. BSE Sensex closed at 74,459.53, up 1,335.70 points or 1.82 percent. At the same time, Nifty 50 increased by 453.10 points i.e. about two percent and reached the level of 23,053.10.
Along with big companies, buying was also seen in shares of small companies. There were some shares whose price increased significantly in just five days. However, as fast as small stocks rise, there is also a risk of a sharp fall.
Alpha Transformers shares gave 63.68 percent return
Alpha Transformers stood first among these five most rising stocks last week. The company's shares increased from Rs 32.38 to Rs 53. During this period, the stock registered a rise of 63.68 percent.
There was good buying in it on Friday also. The stock closed at Rs 53 on BSE with a gain of 11.51 per cent. At this price the market capitalization of the company was around Rs 48.45 crore.
If an investor had bought shares worth Rs 10,000 at the beginning of the week, their price at Friday's closing price would have been around Rs 16,368. That means the profit before duty and tax would have been around Rs 6,368.
Tremendous rise in Raghuveer Synthetics' shares also
Raghuveer Synthetics also gave good returns to investors last week. The company's shares increased from Rs 64.24 to Rs 105. In this way, its price increased by 63.45 percent in five trading days.
On Friday, the stock closed at Rs 105 on BSE. At this price the market capitalization of the company stood at around Rs 396.84 crore.
There was very little difference in the weekly returns of Alpha Transformers and Raghuveer Synthetics. Both the shares saw a rise of more than 63 percent in a single week.
Gulf Lloyds gave more than 45 percent return in five days
Gulf Lloyds shares also showed good growth in the market. Last week its price increased from Rs 27.01 to Rs 39.29. During this period the share gave a return of 45.46 percent.
On Friday, the stock closed at Rs 39.29 on BSE with a gain of 10 percent. At this price the market capitalization of the company was around Rs 26.44 crore.
Gulf Lloyds is a small company. Even if there is less trading in the shares of such companies, a big change can be seen in the prices. Therefore, taking investment decisions only by looking at the returns of the last few days can be risky.
Spencer's Retail also gave good returns to investors
Shares of Spencer's Retail were also among the rising stocks last week. At the beginning of the week, its price was Rs 14.84, which increased to Rs 21.56. During this period, the stock registered an increase of 45.28 percent.
However, there was a slight decline in it on Friday. The stock closed 0.69 percent lower at Rs 21.56. At this price the market capitalization of the company was around Rs 193.36 crore.
Despite Friday's fall, the stock made good gains for the entire week.
Shares of Mahesh Developers rose by 41.42 percent
Mahesh Developers was also included in the list of stocks giving highest returns in five days. The company's shares increased from Rs 13.40 to Rs 18.95.
Its price jumped by 41.42 percent in a week. On Friday, the stock closed at Rs 18.95 with a rise of five percent. At this price the total market capitalization of the company stood at around Rs 7.87 crore.
The market capitalization of Mahesh Developers is quite low. While investing in such shares, it is important to keep in mind the trading volume, financial condition of the company and price fluctuations.
What to keep in mind before investing in these shares?
Last week, shares of these five companies have increased by 41 to 64 percent. However, excellent returns in the past are not a guarantee of similar earnings in the future.
Especially in the shares of small companies, sudden rise and fall may be seen. Many times, due to less buyers or sellers, investors face difficulty in selling shares at the desired price.
In such a situation, before investing money in any share, the business, profits, debt and financial results of the company should be examined.
