Sun TV shares jump up to 18% on cricket-franchise news
In short
Sun TV shares climbed as much as 18% after a CNBC TV18 Market report said the company owns three cricket teams. Those are SunRisers Hyderabad in the IPL, SunRisers Eastern Cape in South Africa’s T20 League, and SunRisers Leeds Ltd. in The Hundred in the UK.
This matters because the stock moved sharply on the news. But the report does not say what new announcement, if any, caused the jump.
