Zaggle Prepaid Shares Rise Over 16% After Vijay Kedia's Stake Purchase
Zaggle Prepaid Ocean Services shares rose over 3 percent on Thursday, extending a three-day rally totaling around 16-17 percent after Vijay Kedia-backed Kedia Securities acquired 20 lakh shares worth nearly Rs 33 crore. The stock had previously dropped 20 percent following a weak Q1 FY27 earnings report, which showed a 32-33 percent year-on-year net profit decline to Rs 17.53 crore. The company attributed margin pressure to acquisition-related expenses, with revenue from the acquired Dice contracts expected from Q2 onwards.
