Shares of Osia Hyper Retail resumed their winning run in Monday's trading session, December 22, hitting the 5% upper circuit limit at 17.14 apiece. The rebound ended a four-day losing streak during which the stock had shed nearly 15% in value.

The rally followed strong gains in the Indian stock market amid positive global cues, along with improving domestic fundamentals, which kept bulls in charge for the second straight session.

Although the stock staged a rebound, it needs to maintain the same momentum through the rest of December to turn positive, as it still remains 7% lower so far.

Osia Hyper Retail ends bull run after 73% gain

After remaining in a prolonged bearish phase between October 2024 and June 2025, the shares found footing in July, paving the way for a strong recovery in the following months.

Between July and September, the stock delivered a massive 73% gain. However, the rally fizzled out in the subsequent months amid weak sentiment over mid- and small-cap stocks, causing it to crash 48% from the October highs of 33 apiece.

The recent crash has pushed the stock into negative territory for the year, falling 41% so far and marking the second consecutive year of decline after a steep 42% drop in 2024.
