There are a few reasons for the recent rally in HMCL's stock. First, the company has been reporting strong sales numbers. In May 2023, HMCL sold 5.19 lakh units of motorcycles and scooters, a growth of 7% over the same month last year. The company sold more motorcycles and scooters in the month, compared to 4.85 lakh units in May 2022 as well.

Additionally, for the financial year ending on March 31, 2023, Hero Motocorp declared an equity dividend of 5000% which equates to Rs 100 per share. At the current share price of Rs 2,948.70 this results in a dividend yield of 3.39%. The company has a good dividend track report and has consistently declared dividends for the last 5 years.

The recent rally in Heromotor Corps stock is a positive sign for the company. It suggests that investors are bullish on the company's prospects. However, it is important to note that the stock market is volatile and the company's stock price could decline in the future.

However, after rallying for so long, it started dipping in Friday morning's trading session. It is currently trading at Rs 2,948.70 per share. The stock has given a return of 13.56% in the last one year and over three years, it has given a return of 28.64%.
