Key Gainers

1. Steelman Telecom
   Steelman Telecom shares hit a 20% upper circuit after securing a work order worth ₹147 crore from Reliance Projects & Property Management Services Ltd (Jio). The new contract boosted investor confidence in the company’s growth potential.

2. PB Fintech
   Shares rose 3.6%, touching a 52-week high of ₹2,018.85 after the announcement of a wholly owned subsidiary under the proposed names "PB Healthcare" or "PB Healthcare Services." This move is expected to diversify and strengthen its business portfolio.

3. Wonderla Holidays
   The company’s shares surged 7% following the launch of its Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP) issue, priced at ₹829.7 per share, signaling growth ambitions.

4. RattanIndia Enterprises
   Shares gained over 5%, driven by robust November sales of its subsidiary Revolt Motors, which reported a 197% YoY jump in vehicle sales.

5. Oberoi Realty

Sectoral Insights

The financial sector gained momentum on expectations of a cash reserve ratio (CRR) cut by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), boosting investor sentiment. However, auto, oil & gas, and telecom stocks struggled, wiping out early morning gains.
