Hindustan Unilever Shares Rise Amid Price Hikes; AMC Stocks Also Rally on Investment Inflows

Shares of Hindustan Unilever (HUL) have risen 6% over two days, supported by price hikes in key products to offset rising production costs and positive sector trends. Analysts highlight HUL's pricing power amid commodity inflation and expect margin support despite potential volume moderation. Meanwhile, asset management companies (AMCs) like ICICI Prudential and Nippon Life also saw rallies, driven by steady systematic investment inflows and a favorable financial asset shift, with AMC stocks outperforming broader markets.
