Love lost on D-Street? Valentine stocks tank as much as 5%

NEW DELHI: Shares of gift and card-makers, including Archies and Hanung Toys & Textiles, slipped in today's trade in a sluggish broader market on Valentine's Day today.

New Delhi-based Archies, which sells greeting cards and other social expression products like gifts and posters, closed the day at Rs 17.30, down 2.54%, on the BSE.

Hanung Toys and Textiles closed down 4.08% at Rs 18.80.

Karuturi Global, Bangalore-based publicly held exporter of cut roses, ended at Rs 0.96, down 4.95%.

Meanwhile, the Sensex opened on a positive note today, led by gains in pharma, technology and auto sectors.

The positivity comes on the back of cues from global peers and as some buying activity emerged after a sharp fall yesterday.

Meanwhile, the 30-stock index closed up 173.47 points, or 0.86%, at 20,366.82.

The 50-share Nifty closed the day at 6,048.35, up 47.25 points, or 0.79%.
