ITC share price rises 2.38% to ₹264.15 on September 16

Key Takeaways

• ITC gained ₹6.15 or 2.38% to ₹264.15 after the ₹259 opening price also marked the session low.
• The stock finished just ₹0.85 below its ₹265 intraday high, with more than 16 million shares changing hands.
• Despite the positive session, all four displayed return periods remained negative, including -35.99% over one year.

ITC share price closed September 16 at ₹264.15, up ₹6.15 or 2.38%. The previous close was ₹258. ITC opened at ₹259, which was also the session low, and rose to ₹265 before settling only ₹0.85 below the day's high.

The entire high-low range measured just ₹6. From the opening price to the close, ITC gained ₹5.15. Trading volume reached 16,027,290 shares, while market capitalisation stood at ₹3,30,974 crore. That combination of a narrow rupee range and high share volume was one of the clearer numerical features of the session.

The stock remained below all three moving averages. Its 50-day DMA was ₹274, leaving the closing price ₹9.85 lower. The 100-day DMA stood at ₹285.90, a difference of ₹21.75. ITC's 200-day DMA was ₹311.40, putting the final value ₹47.25 beneath that level.

The 52-week range stretched from ₹256 to ₹426. At ₹264.15, the stock closed only ₹8.15 above the annual low and ₹161.85 below the high. The entire September 16 session also remained close to the lower endpoint, with the day's low just ₹3 above the 52-week bottom.

Returns were negative over every displayed historical window. One month stood at -5.05%, three months at -8.25% and six months at -12.37%. The one-year figure was -35.99%, almost three times the magnitude of the six-month decline. September 16 moved differently, delivering a 2.38% gain.

The stock's final position was therefore unusual in a simple numerical sense: ITC ended near its session high after a positive day, but remained close to the 52-week low and below every moving average. More than 16 million shares traded inside a ₹6 band. The daily move and longer-period return figures consequently pointed to very different time horizons without requiring any forward-looking interpretation.
