# GACM Technologies hits upper circuit after Rs 49.5 crore QIP 2026-08-22T00:59:01+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets GACM Technologies Ltd, a penny stock trading under Re 1, hit its 5% upper circuit for the 12th straight session on Friday, opening at Rs 0.91 on the NSE. The stock's sustained rally comes despite muted trends on Dalal Street and has brought it close to its 52-week high of Rs 0.93. The stock has drawn market attention after the company raised Rs 49.50 crore through a Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP), allotting 49.50 crore equity shares at Re 1 each. Four overseas funds, Minerva Ventures Fund, Magnifica Global Opportunities VCC, MGO High Conviction Fund, AL Maha Investment Fund PCC, Onyx Strategy, and Ebisu Global Opportunities Fund, participated in the issue. The Hindu Businessline reports that the company said the capital will strengthen its financial position and support strategic initiatives. Livemint adds that GACM's FY26 consolidated revenue grew over 57% and profit after tax rose over 108%, with 12 consecutive profitable quarters. The company also holds a 30% stake in an AI-EdTech business that has reported confirmed orders worth over Rs 30 crore, including Rs 25 crore from the Delhi government and Rs 5 crore from the Tamil Nadu government. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Livemint frames the QIP as a speculative catalyst for a sustained penny-stock rally, emphasizing the 12-day upper circuit and the stock approaching its 52-week high. The Hindu Businessline treats the QIP as a routine corporate filing, omitting the price action entirely. Neither source examines the risks of trading penny stocks or the concentration of foreign institutional holdings. A careful reader should note that the QIP price of Re 1 per share is at a premium to the current trading price of Rs 0.91, a detail neither source explores. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 1 neutral, 1 sensationalist - livemint.com (sensationalist) Leads with the penny stock hitting upper circuit for 12 sessions, framing the QIP as a 'story' driving buying, with speculative language like 'fuel buying' and 'adding new dimensions'. - thehindubusinessline.com (neutral report) Reports the QIP as a straightforward corporate action using PTI copy, with no mention of the stock price movement or upper circuit.
