Lokesh Machines

Lokesh Machines Limited has won a ₹58.20 crore contract from the Integrated Headquarters of the Ministry of Defence (Army) for the supply of MOD kits for 7.62MM Medium Machine Guns, the company said on July 15, 2026. The order, inclusive of all duties and taxes, has been awarded by the Master General Sustenance Branch. The order nature is a domestic supply contract, and the company confirmed that none of its promoters or group companies hold any interest in the awarding entity. This is a sizable order for the Hyderabad-based micro-cap machine tool and defence equipment maker, amounting to nearly 28% of its consolidated revenue from the year ended March 2026. The win comes just weeks after Lokesh Machines was removed from the US OFAC sanctions list, which the company had cited as a key overhang on its international and defence business.

Lokesh Machines Limited has been removed from the US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, effective June 30, 2026. The delisting unblocks all property and interests in property that were frozen solely as a result of the earlier designation. The Hyderabad-based machine tool and defence equipment maker had previously disclosed the sanctions and its ongoing reconsideration request in regulatory filings. The removal lifts restrictions that hampered the company's access to the US financial system and international trade, removing a key operational and reputational overhang.

Updates with closing market data

By Suzanne McGee

Nov 20 (Reuters) - An exchange-traded fund (ETF) focused on Argentina's stock market surged in New York on Monday after radical libertarian Javier Milei won the country's presidency.

The Global X MSCI Argentina ETF ARGT.N, which offers exposure to a basket of Argentina's most liquid stocks, soared nearly 11.5% on Monday after trading as much as 13.5% higher and hitting its highest level since September.

While the South American country's markets were closed on Monday for a local holiday, U.S.-listed shares of Argentinian companies also surged in U.S. trading.

The gains for the ETF came on a high number of small trades, Todd Sohn, an ETF analyst at Strategas in New York, said.

By the time the closing bell rang, the value of trading in the ETF approached $26 million, compared with an average of about $1 million a day throughout 2023. That's the second-most active day of trading ever recorded for the ETF, Sohn said. He added that most trades were blocks of 100 shares or even fewer.

"There seems to be a lot of random trading by retail investors playing the volatility" following the election news and amid speculation about Milei's proposals to tackle Argentina's economic woes, Sohn added.

Some of the largest investors of record in ARGT as of Sept. 30 include hedge fund Millennium Management LLC, which could not immediately be reached for comment.

The roster of large shareholders also includes ETF market makers and wealth management and advisory firms catering to high-net worth individuals and families.

ARGT, one of a number of small country-specific ETFs, has only about $56 million in assets. By far its largest holding is ecommerce company MercadoLibre Inc MELI.O, which accounts for 28% of the fund.

Other Argentina stocks that saw their U.S. listed shares rally were oil company YPF YPF.N, up 40.1%, and financials Banco Macro BMA.N and Grupo Financiero Galicia GGAL.O.

"These small country funds are ideal vehicles for small day traders who jump on events" like Sunday's presidential election in Argentina, Sohn said.
