4 Stocks in Focus After Promoters Bought Stake on 22nd December; Do You Own Any?

Synopsis: In this article, we take a look at the list of stocks in which promoters increased their stakes on 22nd December 2025. The list includes companies such as Jindal Drilling, Transport Corporation of India, Mangal Electrical Industries, and DB Corp Ltd.

Promoter stake purchases occur when a company’s founders or key shareholders increase their ownership by buying more shares, either through the open market or structured deals like rights issues or buybacks. This move can signal various things, such as confidence in the company’s future, a belief that it’s undervalued, or preparation for significant changes like restructuring or going private.

Generally, when promoters buy more shares, it’s seen as a positive sign, indicating long-term commitment and confidence in the company’s growth. However, it may also be a strategy to strengthen control, prevent takeovers, or align their interests with other shareholders. Investors should assess the reasons behind such purchases to understand their implications.
