Chalco's stock plummeted 5.05% intraday on Thursday, as the aluminum producer faced significant selling pressure.

The sharp decline occurred despite Chalco recently reporting standout first-quarter financial results, including record net profit growth. The movement is attributed to a broad, persistent selloff across the aluminum sector, with multiple industry peers also trading lower, indicating industry-wide weakness that has overshadowed the company's positive fundamentals.

Several financial institutions have maintained positive ratings on Chalco following its strong earnings report, but the broader sector correction has continued to pressure the stock price in recent trading sessions.
