176% return in 2026 so far! Antelopus Selan Energy falls 3% after massive rally | What's spooking investors?

Antelopus Selan Energy Limited shares fell nearly 3% during Thursday's intraday trading session, following a sharp rally in the first half of the week. The stock has surged nearly 20% in the last three trading sessions and appears to see some correction. Apart from Thursday's correction, the overall bullish trend in the stock came days after the oil and gas player secured two new onshore contract areas and crude oil price rally. The recent development is likely to help the firm in expanding its asset portfolio and strengthen its presence across key operating regions. Antelopus Selan Energy stock was up 42% in one month and around 176% in 2026 so far. As the stock has seen a remarkable rally over the past few months, investors can avoid entry now, according to Virat Jagad Sr. Technical Research Analyst at Bonanza. A correction in the stock is imminent, with the stock likely to see a retest near ₹ 1,050– ₹ 1,080 for a safer entry with SL below ₹ 980. The company's return on equity (ROE) stood at 30.57%. The stock has delivered close to 180.52% year to date (YTD). Antelopus Selan Energy stock has delivered 673% return in five years and around 487% return in ten years. The Gurugram-headquartered energy player secured two onshore contract areas under the Government of India's discoverd small field (DSF) bid round-IV, one in the Krishna Godavari (KG) basin in Andhra Pradesh and another in the Cambay Basin in Gujarat. The company's share price value has surged around 99.7% in six months and around 180.52% in 2026 so far. The recent crude oil price surge, reaching its highest level since May, amid intensifying conflict between the US and Iran, has spooked investors. The brent crude oil price held above $100 per barrel on Thursday, as Iran vowed to resist the US naval blockade. Weakness in the Antelopus Selan Energy stock came as the company saw heavy selling pressure in the early trading session, falling nearly 3% to dip to an intraday low of ₹ 1,117.55 per share. The stock touched an intraday high mark of ₹ 1,169.25 per share, and its 52-week high was ₹ 1,216 per share on September 9, 2026.
