MIC Electronics has turned into a success story, evolving from a penny stock into a multibagger that has given great returns to its investors. This stock’s performance shows how penny stocks can grow significantly, but it also highlights the risks that come with such investments.
Over the past five years, MIC Electronics’ stock price has jumped an incredible 2,757%, rising from ₹2.8 in August 2019 to ₹80 today. This impressive growth has made the stock a strong performer in the penny stock category.
In the short term, MIC Electronics has also delivered good returns. Over the past year, the stock has surged more than 166%, and so far in 2024, it has risen by about 137%. Despite facing losses in four of the nine months this year, the overall trend has remained positive.
While September saw a 4% dip in the stock, following a 2% fall in August, MIC Electronics gained 3.5% in July and a massive 68.7% in June. May saw another decline with a 2% drop after a 26% increase in April. The stock fell by 17.2% in March, but posted gains of 8% in January and 30.8% in February, showing its resilience.
The stock hit its 52-week high of ₹100.2 in July 2024. Currently, it is trading at ₹80, about 20% below its peak. However, it’s still up by an impressive 248% from its 52-week low of ₹23, which it reached in September 2023.
This upward movement highlights the potential rewards for investors willing to take risks on penny stocks like MIC Electronics.
