Amidst the market fluctuations over the past month, where investors are treading cautiously, a surprising update has emerged from the SME IPO market. The promoter of Capital Numbers Infotech, Mukul Gupta, has purchased 60,000 shares of the company, with a market value of approximately INR 95.85 lakh. An increase in investment by company promoters is generally considered a positive signal. This news comes at a time when all Indian indices are under pressure due to various global and domestic factors.

Promoter’s Bold Move: A Sign of Confidence?

Insider buying always turns heads, but when it happens during a market slump, it raises even more eyebrows. Before this purchase, Mr Gupta held 95.41 lakh shares which is roughly a 39.02% stake in the company. With this fresh acquisition, his holding edges even higher—an intriguing signal for market watchers.

Promoters generally have an inside track on their company’s fundamentals and future prospects. When they step in to buy, it often suggests they see the stock as undervalued or anticipate strong growth ahead. Gupta’s move fits this narrative perfectly, hinting that he sees untapped potential despite recent market softness.

However, after the positive start, profit booking took control and stock dipped slightly (0.63%) on listing day. This recent promoter purchase, however, could inject fresh optimism into the stock, potentially stabilizing sentiment and attracting new buyers.
