Gainers:

Arkade Developers: Shares surged over 5 percent to Rs 184.40 on February 12 after the company secured a redevelopment project in Mumbai's Dahisar suburb. The estimated gross development value (GDV) of the project is Rs 1,700 crore, which positively impacted investor sentiment.

Cyient DLM: Shares rose by 4.2 percent to Rs 440 on February 12 as the company announced a production contract with Boeing Global Services (BGS) for precision-machined parts and assemblies. This contract marks a significant milestone in their partnership, lifting the stock after a seven-day losing streak.

Steel Authority of India (SAIL): Shares jumped nearly 3 percent to Rs 102.75 on February 12, defying the overall bearish market trend. The positive movement followed the company's release of third-quarter results for FY25, which were well-received by investors.

Berger Paints India Ltd.: Despite disappointing Q3 earnings, shares rose by 3.5 percent to Rs 493 on February 12. The company's net profit for the October-December quarter of FY25 fell 1.5 percent, but the stock rallied on investor optimism despite weaker results.

United Breweries: Shares gained nearly 2 percent on February 12 after Anand Rathi maintained a 'Buy' rating on the stock and raised its target price. Additionally, a beer price hike announced by Telangana boosted investor sentiment toward the company.

Losers:

Ircon International: Shares plunged over 9 percent to hit a 52-week low of Rs 159.61 on February 12. The sharp decline followed the company’s poor Q3 earnings, which showed a fall in both net profit and revenue, prompting investors to dump the stock.

Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. (HAL): Shares saw a negative start on February 12, dropping after comments from Indian Air Force Chief Marshal A P Singh regarding HAL's delivery record for the Tejas Mk1A fighter jets. The remarks soured market sentiment and weighed on the stock.

Max Healthcare Institute: Despite significant block trades worth Rs 321 crore, shares were down by 1 percent at Rs 1,010 by noon on February 12, extending a five-day decline to 11.7 percent. The stock faced continued selling pressure, overshadowing the large transaction volume.

Gensol Engineering: Shares plummeted over 17 percent to a 52-week low of Rs 580.05 on February 12 after the company’s Q3 earnings disappointed investors. The weak bottomline and operational performance contributed to the massive drop in stock value.
