Vijay Kedia's Firm Buys Stake in Zaggle, Shares Rise After Earnings Drop
Shares of Zaggle Prepaid Ocean Services surged over 17% after Kedia Securities, led by investor Vijay Kedia, acquired around 20 lakh shares worth approximately Rs 33 crore via bulk deals. This stake purchase followed a sharp stock decline after the company reported a 32% year-on-year net profit drop to Rs 17.53 crore in Q1 FY27 and a reduced EBITDA margin, partly due to expenses from its Dice acquisition. The stock rebounded from a 52-week low of Rs 154 to around Rs 195 amid heavy trading volumes.
