HFCL Stock Soars 9% After F&O Exit; Worst Year Since 2008 Ends with Rally

• HFCL shares surged 9% on December 31st, marking the biggest single-day jump since May, with over 5 crore shares traded in the first hour.
• The rally is attributed to HFCL's removal from the Futures & Options (F&O) segment, effective today, shifting it to cash market trading.
• Removal from F&O occurs when a stock fails to meet exchange liquidity and trading standards, aiming to reduce speculative trading and volatility.
• Despite today's rally, 2025 has been HFCL's worst year since 2008, with the stock falling approximately 40%.
• HFCL is still about 41% below its 52-week high, and technical indicators suggest a continuing long-term downtrend despite recent buying interest.

Why It Matters: HFCL stock rallied 9% post-F&O exit, but 2025 was its worst year since 2008.
