Why Dixon Technologies Share Price is Rising
In news from the consumer electronics space, Dixon Technologies share price rallied 3% today.
This positive sentiment was on the back of the company recently announcing steps to fuel its growth and support India's digital expansion.
Dixon Technologies has signed an agreement with Nokia to develop and manufacture telecom equipment.
The equipment will include fixed wireless access points and routers, to be developed for Nokia.
The deal is expected to earn the company a massive amount of Rs 15 billion (bn).
According to the vice chairman and managing director of Dixon, the product development is at its final stages, and commercial production will start from June or July of 2024.
With a good industry outlook and an emphasis on innovation and expansion, the company's share price and earnings have grown consistently.
Here's a table comparing Dixon with its peers -

Hindustan Zinc Zooms 13%
Hindustan Zinc share price surged over 13% to hit a 52-week high on May 10 tracking a spike in zinc prices.
The commodity's price on the London Metal Exchange rose over 2% to US$2,955, fueled by positive China trade data, which reflected growth in imports and exports in April 2024.
China's positive trade data also indicated a rebound in domestic and overseas demand, which works well for zinc prices given that the country is a major consumer and producer of the metal.
A spike in zinc prices bodes well for Hindustan Zinc as it is involved in the business of mining and refining the metal.
Apart from this, the company also approved an interim dividend of Rs 10 per equity share.
During the most recent quarter gone by, the management of Hindustan Zinc rolled out projections for increased production of both mined metal and refined metal in the coming year FY25.
Furthermore, project capital expenditure is anticipated to fall within the range of $270 million to $325 million.
Hindustan Zinc shares ended near the day's high today.
In 2024 so far, shares of the company have already rallied 62%.
Here's a table comparing Hindustan Zinc with its peers -
| Company | Hindustan Zinc | Gravita | Hindalco | Ram Ratna Wires | Vedanta |
