Hyundai Motor India share price in focus: Hyundai Motor India’s share price declined by 3% on Thursday, May 20, settling at ₹1,854 per share amid a broad-based sell-off in the Indian equity market. Despite the dip, the stock has been on a steady upward trajectory in recent weeks, rebounding sharply from its April 7 low of ₹1,541.
Since then, it has rallied nearly 20%, bringing it within close range of its IPO price of ₹1,960—just 5.4% below its latest trading value. Notably, the stock has yet to breach its IPO price since its market debut, despite multiple attempts that were met with resistance and pullbacks.
The highest level the stock has touched since listing was ₹1,929 per share, recorded in early February. As the stock once again attempts to breach its IPO price, Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investments, stated that the stock is forming a 142-day-long IPO base with a pivot breakout level at ₹1,935. However, he noted that the base lacks institutional accumulation and follows a sharp run-up, which makes the breakout zone potentially vulnerable.
“A breakout above ₹1,935 must be accompanied by significant volume to confirm bullish intent. Conversely, if the stock fails to sustain above ₹1,935, it could trigger long liquidation, dragging it down toward ₹1,750. Traders should wait for clear volume cues before initiating positions,” he further added.
The company made its debut on Dalal Street in October 2024, listing at ₹1,934 per share against the IPO price of ₹1,960. Following the muted listing, the stock remained volatile, moving back and forth amid concerns over its rich valuations.
The company successfully raised ₹27,870 crore from Indian investors, marking the largest IPO fundraise in the country’s history.
