HCL Technologies share price ended September 17 at ₹1,258.30, up ₹5.30 or 0.42%. The stock opened at ₹1,242 compared with a previous close of ₹1,253. Its rounded intraday figures showed a low of ₹1,235 and a high of ₹1,258. The primary closing price carried greater precision than the rounded high, so the source values are retained as displayed. 

The share traded 1,452,371 units during the session. Market capitalisation stood at ₹3,41,461 crore. HCL Technologies' 52-week range ran from ₹1,030 to ₹1,780. The September 17 closing value was ₹228.30 above the annual low and ₹521.70 below the high.

Return data varied substantially by period. The one-month reading was -7.48%. Three-month performance was positive at 8.57%, but the six-month return fell back to -5.29%. Over one year, HCL Technologies recorded -15.16%. The three-month period was consequently the only positive return among the four displayed windows. 

September 17 saw the stock recover from an opening below the previous close. The ₹1,242 open was ₹11 under the rounded ₹1,253 prior close, while the low extended to ₹1,235. By the end of the session, HCL Technologies had moved back above the previous closing level and recorded a small daily gain. That recovery did not carry the stock above the 50-day DMA of ₹1,276. Its annual high remained more than ₹500 away, while the 52-week low was a little over ₹228 beneath the final price.
