HFCL Shares Soar 9% on F&O Exit, But 2025 Marks Worst Year Since 2008

• HFCL shares surged nearly 9% on Wednesday, December 31, marking its biggest single-day gain since May.
• The stock saw strong trading volumes, with over 50 million shares traded in the first hour.
• HFCL exited the Futures & Options (F&O) segment today, now trading only in the cash market.
• Despite the surge, HFCL is down nearly 40% in 2025, making it the worst year since 2008's 78% decline.
• The stock is currently trading at ₹69, 8.7% higher, but remains below key moving averages.

Why It Matters: HFCL sees a significant one-day jump post-F&O exit, yet faces its worst annual performance since 2008.
