Small-cap stock: Vakrangee share price continued to witness strong traction for the third consecutive session as the stock opened at a 5 per cent upper circuit of 32.06 on BSE on Thursday, October 10. Shares of this LIC portfolio stock have been on a steady rise since Tuesday, gaining 5 per cent each day. At the current price of 32.06, the stock has gained nearly 16 per cent in the last three days.

The stock snapped its four-day losing streak on October 8, a day after it announced the launch of its own private-label apparel products across its e-commerce business.

"Vakrangee proudly announces the sourcing and distribution of its own Private Label Apparel products under the e-commerce business category. The company has successfully launched the pilot phase in the apparel segment and would leverage the extensive network of Vakrangee Kendra outlets, including both Franchisee and Master Franchisee channels," the company said in an exchange filing.

After the pilot project, the company plans to scale the initiative to a pan-India level.

"Vakrangee Kendras are exclusive format outlets offering a comprehensive range of products and services across banking, insurance, ATM, assisted e-commerce, e-governance and Total Healthcare. We will continue to add more products and services to offer our customers a one-stop solution to all their needs," the company said.

Vakrangee shareholding pattern

Vakrangee's shareholding pattern data for the June quarter of the current financial year shows that by the end of the quarter, Life Insurance Corporation of India held 6,58,14,647 shares, equivalent to a 6.11 per cent stake in the company.

By the end of the same quarter, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) held 3,15,03,809 shares, or 2.93 per cent, of the company's shares.

Promoters and promoter groups of the company cumulatively held 41.92 per cent stake in the company.

Should you buy the stock?

The stock's rise over the last year has been impressive. However, some technical experts underscore that the stock has a key resistance around the 200-period exponential moving average.

Jigar S. Patel, Senior Manager of Equity Research at Anand Rathi Share and Stock Brokers, pointed out that the stock has faced consistent resistance around the weekly chart's 200-period exponential moving average (EMA).

Patel said this technical level has historically acted as a barrier, leading to corrective moves whenever the stock price tests. Given this recurring pattern of pullbacks from the 200-period EMA, it is prudent to book profits at current levels.

Furthermore, Patel added that initiating fresh long positions at this stage may carry higher risk, as the stock could experience another correction.

"Avoiding new entries is recommended until clearer signs of strength or a breakthrough above the EMA are seen," said Patel.
