Penny stock: Shares of Starlineps Enterprises saw a 5 per cent surge during intra-day trading on Monday, November 18, following the company’s strong financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year 2024-25 (Q2FY25). The Surat-based diamond and jewellery trader reported a significant increase in net profit and revenue, which spurred market interest and investor optimism.
Starlineps Enterprises, a wholesale and retail trader of diamonds and jewellery, reported more than a two-fold increase in its net profit for the July-September quarter of 2024-25. The company’s net profit rose to ₹3.25 crore, a notable improvement from the same period last year, driven by higher income.
Revenue also more than doubled, reaching ₹24.43 crore compared to ₹9.07 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year. The company highlighted these achievements in a recent statement, attributing the growth to strategic business activities and improved market conditions.
Further bolstering its growth strategy, Starlineps Enterprises announced strategic moves including an investment in Fusion Klassroom Edutech, an EdTech platform, and the acquisition of CUR8, a GenAI-powered platform. These initiatives signal the company’s intent to diversify its portfolio and align with evolving digital and educational trends, potentially opening new revenue streams and business opportunities.
Stock Price Trend
Following the announcement, shares of Starlineps Enterprises were locked in the 5 per cent upper circuit at ₹10.82. Despite this positive momentum, the penny stock remains approximately 65 per cent below its peak price of ₹31.03, which it hit in August 2024. The stock has recovered 9.5 per cent from its 52-week low of ₹9.41, recorded last month.
Over the past year, the stock has seen a considerable decline, shedding 43 per cent of its value. In 2024 so far, it has dropped by over 48 per cent, reflecting a challenging period marked by consecutive monthly losses. However, November has brought a modest 2 per cent gain, suggesting signs of potential recovery following four months of losses.
The recent surge in Starlineps Enterprises’ stock price, driven by its strong Q2FY25 earnings and strategic investments, has generated renewed interest among investors. While the stock remains well below its historic highs, its recent performance and new business ventures hint at possible stabilisation and future growth. Investors will be watching closely to see if this momentum can be sustained in the coming months.
