Cupid shares plunge 11 pc in biggest one-day fall in six months
Mumbai, July 8
Shares of Cupid Limited plunged 11 per cent on Wednesday after hitting a record high of Rs 226 earlier in the session, marking the stock's biggest one-day decline in six months.
Heavy profit booking erased early gains, with the stock falling as much as 20 per cent intra-day before recovering some losses to close at Rs 197 per share.
The sharp decline marked one of the stock's steepest single-day falls in 2026 and its biggest intra-day crash since January 2, when it had also plunged 20 per cent during the session.
The sell-off also snapped Cupid's three-session winning streak, during which the stock had scaled fresh record highs every day and crossed the Rs 220 mark for the first time.
Despite Wednesday's correction, the stock continues to deliver exceptional long-term returns. After remaining under pressure for more than a year, Cupid began a strong recovery in April 2025, gaining 25 per cent during the month.

Look at the bright side - WHO prequalification for condoms is a huge achievement! India's own success story in sexual wellness. Just need better price stability. 🇮🇳👏
Big investor here. The product diversification into diagnostics and FMCG is interesting, but this kind of price action suggests retail panic selling. Might be a buying opportunity for patient investors.
Pure sentiment-driven volatility! The company's fundamentals haven't changed in one day. Annual capacity of 480 million male condoms? That's massive. Hold on, folks! 💪
"Cupid" as a brand name feels a bit odd for a stock investment. But seriously, their WHO certification for both male and female condoms is a global recognition. Volatility just shows the stock is alive. 😉
Respectful criticism: The management should provide more clarity on why such sudden corrections happen. Shareholders deserve better communication. Otherwise, strong company, but this uncertainty hurts retail investors. 🧐
From a social impact perspective, Cupid is making a difference with affordable condoms and HIV test kits. Short-term stock fluctuations don't erase that. Proud to see an
