Apollo Micro Systems share price journey
The company’s shares resumed their winning run in April, surging sharply by 63%, which ended a three-month losing streak. So far in the current month, the stock has advanced another 5%, taking the cumulative gain to 71%.
The stock had come under severe selling pressure after hitting a fresh all-time high of ₹354.70 apiece, with the correction persisting until March and eroding nearly 44% of its value.
Nevertheless, the stock recouped most of those losses in April alone, highlighting its strong rebound capability from lower levels.
Although the stock’s short-term trend remains volatile, its long-term performance continues to stay robust, with the shares still trading 820% higher over the past three years and 2,839% higher over the last five years.
