After a strong rally in the past one month, some defence-related stocks saw a dip on June 9 due to profit booking — a common practice where investors sell shares after a big gain to lock in profits. Who dropped and by how much? 🔻 Data Patterns: Down 3.4% to ₹2,942 🔸Gained 33% in the last month 🔸 52-week high: ₹3,655 | Low: ₹1,351 🔸 Makes electronics for Indian defence 🔸 Market cap: ₹16,600 crore Cochin Shipyard: Down 3% to ₹2,319 🔸 Gained 56% in a month 🔸 Nearly doubled since Feb (₹1,180) 🔸 Builds and repairs ships (PSU) 🔸 Market cap: ₹61,014 crore Zen Technologies: Down 3% to ₹2,015 🔸 Gained 43% in a month 🔸 Doubled from last year’s low of ₹905 🔸 Makes military drone & training tech Paras Defence: Down 2% to ₹1,609 🔸 Up 60% in 2025 so far Other stocks like Mazagon Dock, BEML, GRSE, DCX India also fell slightly. The broader Nifty Defence Index also turned red, trading near 8,910.30. Why did these stocks rally earlier? Investors were excited after Operation Sindoor, India’s military strike post-Pahalgam terror attack. This led to hope of higher defence spending. Lesson: Markets rise on hope, and fall when investors book profits. A healthy correction after a strong rally is normal.
