Equity Alert: Mkts stay in red in second half of trading; HDFC Bank down 1%
MUMBAI--1417 IST--Indices remained lower after the second half of trade with information technology stocks being the major laggards. Financial services stocks fell and also weighed on the indices. The Nifty 50 was weighed down by Bharti Airtel, Infosys, and the heavyweight banking stock HDFC Bank. These stocks were down 1-2%. At 1416 IST, the Nifty 50 was at 24193.05, down 94.60 points or 0.4%, and the BSE Sensex was at 77352.52, down 375.64 points or 0.5%.
Mahindra & Mahindra was the top gainer among the Nifty 50 constituents, up over 1%. Axis Bank, Eicher Motors, Grasim Industries, Oil and Natural Gas Corp., Bajaj Finance, and NTPC gained around 1?ch. On other hand, Asian Paints was the worst hit in the Nifty 50, down over 2%. The stock declined on higher crude oil prices in the global market, which is a key raw material for the paint-maker. IT constituents HCL Technologies, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Wipro, and Tata Consultancy Services were down 1-2%.
Financial services companies Jio Financial Services, Shriram Finance, Kotak Mahindra Bank, HDFC Life Insurance Co., and State Bank of India were down around 1?ch. On the sectoral front, Nifty IT was the worst hit, down nearly 2%. All the constituents in the index traded lower. The rise in the 10-year US yield are leading to negative sentiment in the sector, according to an analyst. Meanwhile, Nifty Auto was the best performer among the sectoral indices, up 0.6%.
SBI Cards and Payment Services was the worst hit among the Nifty 200 constituents, down over 3%. Colgate Palmolive (India) was down nearly 3%. Brokerages have raised concern on the company's margins after its investor day. Emkay Global Financial Services flagged margin-related concerns due to the company's aggressive advertising plans.
Tube Investments of India rose over 8% and was the performer in both the Nifty 200 and Nifty 500 indices. Multi Commodity Exchange of India, Lenskart Solutions, and Bosch rose nearly 4?ch in the index. In the Nifty 500, Inox Wind was the worst hit, down 4%. (Adhithya Aji)
Equity Alert: Ather Energy up 18% since Q1 result; Nirmal Bang stays positive
MUMBAI--1335 IST--Shares of Ather Energy are along a positive trajectory with the stock gaining nearly 18% since the release of its June quarter earnings. In the last seven days, the volume of the company was over 20 million shares, which is over four times higher than the three-month average traded volumes. Nirmal Bang says the medium-term sentiment on the company is positive.
Nirmal Bang Institutional Equities has a 'buy' rating on the stock with a target price of INR 1,538. The stock had touched its all-time high of INR 1,580, exceeding the brokerage's target view on Wednesday. The positive momentum in the stock is driven by the electric-two wheeler maker's performance in the June quarter. Ather Energy's capacity expansion plan to meet strong demand, price hikes to mitigate higher raw material impact without affecting demand, and reporting a positive earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation are the pointers aiding the stock, according to Yash Agarwal, research analyst with Nirmal Bang Institutional Equities. The company managed its rising costs effectively in the June quarter, the analyst said. For the June quarter, Ather Energy posted a net loss of INR 508.7 million on a revenue of INR 12.17 billion.
Moreover, the Prime Minister Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement scheme is also providing some positive sentiment for the stock, he added. The government has revised the terminal date for electric two-wheeler subsidies from Jul. 31 to March 2028. Agarwal is of the view that the company is positioned well among its competitors Ola Electric Mobility, TVS Motor Co., Bajaj Auto, and Hero MotoCorp. When asked whether the stock merits a revision to the target price, Agarwal said, "Medium term sentiment on company is positive, but a target price change depends on other factors." The company's sales volume for August would be a key factor to look out, and its investor day on Aug. 29, Agarwal said.
At 1325 IST, shares of Ather Energy traded over 1% lower at INR 1,467.50. Over 2 million shares of the company changed hands on NSE so far, against 1.70 million shares traded till the same time Monday. The recent correction in the stock was triggered by profit booking, the analyst said. (Adhithya Aji)
Equity Alert: Tube Invest up 9%; Motilal Oswal retains 'buy', sees 14% upside
MUMBAI--1311 IST--Shares of Tube Investments of India rose nearly 9% intraday to hit their one-month high of INR 2,979 on the NSE. Motilal Oswal Financial Services said the company's June quarter earnings were largely in line with its expectations. The company's diversified revenue streams and steady growth in its core business will be key growth levers going ahead, the brokerage said in a research report. The brokerage has retained its buy rating on the stock, but reduced its target price slightly to INR 3,379. This target price implies an upside of 14% from the stock's current market price.
Despite meeting brokerage Motilal Oswal's earnings view in the June quarter, the company's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation margin missed the brokerage's expectation by 70 basis points. It reported an on-year fall of 190 basis points in its EBITDA margin to 10.4%. With a 2–3 quarter lag in recovery of steel prices, the company's management expects margins to recover and improve, despite near-term margins remaining under pressure due to input cost inflation.
The company's standalone revenue rose 18% on year to INR 23.6 billion and its net profit was INR 1.6 billion for the June quarter. The company's engineering business was up 21% on year at INR 15.6 billion, its mobility business grew 26% on year to INR 2.5 billion, and its metal formed products segment reported a 12% year-on-year rise to INR 4.1 billion for the reporting quarter.
At 1305 IST, shares of the company were slightly off highs at INR 2,966.30 per share, up almost 8% on the NSE with trading volumes of over 3 million. This is the highest volume for the company's shares in over six months. (Durgesh Nandan)
Equity Alert: Infosys sheds 7% in five straight sessions, Nifty IT down 2%
MUMBAI--1253 IST--Shares of Infosys shed over 2% to hit its intraday low of INR 1,112.70, marking a 6.6%?ll over the past five trading sessions. The stock was among the worst-hit constituents in the Nifty 50 index and tracked the broader underperformance in the sector. At 1242 IST, the Nifty IT Index was at 30275.60 points, down 1.7% from Monday. The index is down for the third session in a row during which it has shed nearly 4%.
Factors such as increasing crude oil prices and the rise in the 10-year US yield are driving the underperformance in the sector, according to Sumit Pokharna, vice president of research at Kotak Securities. October futures of Brent Crude oil have gained more than 2% over the past week, hovering around $91 per barrel on Tuesday.
Of the 20 brokerage reports on the company available with Informist, 16 have a "buy" or equivalent recommendation with an average target price of INR 1,408, which is over 26% higher than the current market price. Two brokerages have a sell or equivalent recommendation on the stock with target prices of INR 940 and INR 968. At 1242 IST, shares of Infosys were down over 2% at INR 1,115.9 per share on the National Stock Exchange. (Shruti Nair)
Equity Alert: Large open interest at 24200 strike implies Nifty 50 support
MUMBAI--1215 IST--A hefty open interest build-up in put options around 24200 strike price indicates that the Nifty 50 will find support at this level. While the headline index breached this support briefly, it recovered from the session's lows in quick order. However, with traders writing call options on the other side of the derivative chain, it is unlikely that the Nifty 50 will rebound sharply from its current levels. A large open interest at a strike price implies heavy selling by institutional investors, who will likely defend the index from rising above or falling below sold levels.
At 1233 IST, open interest in the put option at the 24200 strike price was up over 27 million at 38.11 million contracts. Premium on the contract rose nearly 80% to INR 23.20 ahead of its expiry later in the day. Moreover, some traders rolled their positions out and bought puts of the same strike on contracts expiring Aug. 25. Options data also showed decent buying interest for put contracts with 24150 strike price, although, with the large theta decay ahead of expiry, premiums on these contracts were quite cheap.
On the other side of the options chain, traders continued to sell call contracts across strike prices. Premiums across 24250-24400 strike prices declined 80-90%. Further, out-of-the-money call contracts were also sold relentlessly. At 1233 IST, the Nifty 50 was at 24214.40 points, down 0.3%, and hovering close to its support. At its lowest in the session, the index had declined to as low as 24174.45 points, down 0.5% from Monday. (Eshitva Prakash)

The Nifty IT, Nifty Realty, Nifty PSU Bank, and Nifty FMCG were the hardest hit among sectoral indices. On the other hand, the oil and gas sector performed well after crude oil prices surpassed the psychological mark of $90 per barrel. Aegis Logistics rose over 4%, leading the gains in the sector. Chennai Petroleum Corp. and Oil India rose 2-3%.
Asian Paints was the biggest drag on the Nifty 50 index, down nearly 3%. Meanwhile, Grasim Industries, Mahindra & Mahindra, and Axis Bank were the top gainers among the Nifty 50 constituents, up around 1?ch. In the Nifty 200 index, shares of Tube Investments rose over 8%, leading the gains. Lenskart rose over 3?ter the company said its joint venture, Baofeng Framekart Technology, has received the certificate of incorporation for adding Wenzhou Framekart Trade as its step-down subsidiary in the People's Republic of China.

Equity Alert: Indices remain lower as IT, fincl svcs drag; Infosys down 2%
MUMBAI--1120 IST--Benchmark indices remained lower, dragged down by information technology and financial services stocks. A decline in Bharti Airtel and banking heavyweights pulled down the benchmark Nifty 50 index. At 1117 IST, the Nifty 50 traded at 24201.85, down 85.80 points or 0.4%, and the BSE Sensex was 77367.35, down 360.81 points or 0.5%.
Infosys and HCL Technologies were the worst hit stocks in the Nifty 50, down nearly 2?ch. Tata Consultancy Services, Tech Mahindra, and Wipro fell over 1?ch as well. Bharti Airtel shares were down over 1%, adding more weight to the losses in the index. Financial services companies--Shriram Finance, Jio Financial Services, and HDFC LIfe Insurance Co.--were down around 1?ch. The heavyweights ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank fell 0.5% and 1.0%, respectively.
On other hand, Mahindra & Mahindra and Grasim Industries were the top gainers in the Nifty 50, up 1?ch. Apollo Hospitals Enterprises, Adani Enterprises, Axis Bank, and Oil and Natural Gas Corp. were up around 1?ch. The heavyweight Reliance Industries rose 0.6%.
Tube Investments of India gained nearly 8% to be the top gainer in both the Nifty 200 and Nifty 500 indices. The company expects its margins to recover in the coming quarters as higher commodity costs, which weighed on profitability in Apr-Jun, are seen gradually neutralising, a top official said in a post-earnings call with analysts Monday. Motilal Oswal Financial Services said the company offers diversified revenue streams with steady growth in the core business, despite near-term margin challenges. The brokerage has a "buy" call on the stock with a target price of INR 3,379 per share.
Lenskart Solutions, Cochin Shipyard, and Oil India gained around 2?ch in the Nifty 200. Meanwhile, Billionbrains Garage Ventures was the worst hit in the index, down nearly 3%. In the Nifty 500, PTC Industries was the worst hit, down nearly 4%. (Vidhi Thacker)
Equity Alert: Mkt opens lower amid higher crude prices; IT cos lead losses
MUMBAI--0947 IST--Benchmark indices opened lower amid higher crude oil prices due to the continued uncertainty over the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. The 60-day ceasefire deal between the US and Iran ended Monday, and US President Donald Trump ruled out the possibility of extending the pact or signing a new peace deal. Information technology stocks continued to lag for the second consecutive day. At 0946 IST, the Nifty 50 was at 24220.60, down 67.05 or 0.3%, and the BSE Sensex was at 77424.93, down 303.23 or 0.4%.
Zomato operator Eternal, Oil and Natural Gas Corp., Maruti Suzuki, and Grasim Industries were the top gainers among Nifty 50 constituents. Shares of Oil and Natural Gas Corp. rose after crude oil prices surpassed the psychological mark of $90 per barrel. In contrast, Asian Paints and InterGlobe Aviation fell around 1?ch. Asian Paints uses crude oil as a key material, while InterGlobe Aviation's margins are likely to be impacted by high jet fuel costs.
IT major Infosys was the worst hit in the 50-stock index, down nearly 2%. Its peers Wipro, Tech Mahindra, HCL Technologies, and Tata Consultancy Services fell about 1?ch. Bharti Airtel's shares fell nearly 2% as well. The telecommunications major's shares fell after Sunil Bharti Mittal stepped down as chairman of its subsidiary, Airtel Payments Bank Ltd. Shabnam Sinha is said to succeed Mittal. Jio Financial Services, UltraTech Cement, Larsen & Toubro, HDFC Life Insurance Co., Shriram Finance, and Kotak Mahindra Bank were down around 1?ch.
The broader market indices were mixed – the Nifty midcap indices were down 0.4?ch, while the Nifty smallcap indices were flat to up 0.1%. On the sectoral front, Nifty Realty and Nifty IT were hit hardest, down over 1?ch. Meanwhile, Nifty Oil & Gas was the best performer, up nearly 1%.
In the Nifty 200, Tube Investments of India was the top gainer, up over 5%. Oil India, Varun Beverages, and Dixon Technologies rose nearly 2?ch. Oil India rose on gains in crude oil prices. Colgate Palmolive (India) was the worst hit in the index, down nearly 3%. Welspun Living was the best performer in the Nifty 500, up 6%, while PTC Industries was the major laggard, down nearly 3%.

Equity Alert: Brokerages wary of Colgate's margins after investor meet
MUMBAI--9016 IST--Brokerages were slightly concerned about Colgate Palmolive (India)'s margins after attending the company's investor day. Key takeaways from the meeting include the company's focus on increasing the share of premium products in its portfolio and its strategy to increase advertising spends to drive sales.
Promotional expenses will likely remain elevated, with elasticity seen in the premium segment where higher spends convert into incremental sales, Nuvama Institutional Equities said in a note after the meeting. The company plans to fund these expenses by saving 400-500 basis points in gross margins, the brokerage said.
Nuvama said high raw material costs are likely to be offset through calibrated price hikes. Colgate outperformed Hindustan Unilever and Dabur in the oral care category in the past two quarters, the brokerage said. The brokerage maintained its 'buy' recommendation with an unchanged target price of INR 2,750. "Key risk to Colgate is rising competition from Sensodyne (Haleon), which has confirmed INR20bn (INR 20 billion) capex and aggressive growth of its new whitening toothpaste," Nuvama said.
Emkay Global Financial Services flagged margin-related concerns due to the company's aggressive advertising plans. "... Management targets increasing brand investments to drive growth, which will keep margins under pressure," the brokerage said while cutting its estimates for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation margin for 2026-27 (Apr-Mar) to 29.8% from 30.9?rlier. It also trimmed the FY28 margin estimate by 100 bps to 30.1%. Emkay Global reiterated its 'reduce' call on the stock with the same target price of INR 2,050.
The toothpaste seller's focus remains on driving growth through volumes and "selective pricing actions," Motilal Oswal Financial Services said. The brokerage said Colgate Palmolive is focusing on education, affordability, and the frequency of consumers' toothbrush replacements to unlock more growth opportunities.
Motilal Oswal expects the company's revenue to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 9?tween FY26 and FY28, and EBITDA to grow by 11% during the same period. The brokerage maintained its 'buy' recommendation on the stock with a target price of INR 2,500. "Management remains willing to sacrifice near-term operating margin to accelerate growth," the brokerage said.
At 0930 IST, the company's shares were down 3.0% to INR 1,906.20 on the NSE. (Ruchira Kagita)
Equity Alert: Nuvama downgrades BSE to "hold", cuts target price 21%
MUMBAI--0912 IST--Nuvama Institutional Equities downgraded its recommendation on BSE to "hold" from "buy" and cut its target price on the stock by 21% to INR 3,240. The brokerage cites the impact of closing auction session on option volumes, tighter bank guarantee norms, and market-share gains nearing saturation levels among its reasons for the downgrade. The brokerage also cut its earnings per share view on the stock by 6.3% for financial year 2026-27 (Apr-Mar) and 15% for FY28. Earlier, global brokerage Jefferies also downgraded the stock to "underperform" and cut its target price by 16%, according to media reports.
BSE's average daily premium traded volume has touched its lowest levels since January 2025 at INR 181 billion, Nuvama said in a report. Lower trading velocity and participation loss are key issues, according to the brokerage. "Earlier, option premiums decayed predictably into expiry, enabling repeated participation through short-duration trades," the brokerage said. However, the new closing auction session engenders uncertainty in the final settlement, reducing the predictability of the decay path of option premiums, according to the brokerage.
This weakens theta-harvesting strategies and reduces the leverage for buyers that previously depended on rapidly falling premiums and also reduces seller interest due to uncertainty of option decay—impacting a large part of the ecosystem, the brokerage underscored. "The damage is visible as BSE expiry-day contracts fell 33.2% versus 23.6% for non-expiry," the brokerage said and also highlighted how the average daily premium traded volume market share of 36.3% is down 130 basis points from July.
Further, the brokerage also cited the Reserve Bank of India's bank guarantee norms as another headwind in the near term. The brokerage believes tighter collateral requirements may increase the capital intensity for intermediaries and thereby reduce turnover efficiency in high-frequency strategies that drive contract volumes. The impact is likely to be gradual but could cap recovery into FY28, according to the brokerage.
Moreover, the brokerage expects limited incremental upside from further share gains, given that BSE's contract market share is already high at around 52%. However, the average daily premium traded volume share remains lower at around 36% due to a lower mix of non-expiry day contributions, the brokerage pointed out. (Shruti Nair)
Equity Alert: Most Asian markets down as oil prices rise amid war concerns
MUMBAI--0835 IST--Major Asian equity indices traded lower in early trade Tuesday as crude oil prices rose after US President Donald Trump ruled out peace talks with Iran following the expiry of the ceasefire agreement between the two countries on Monday. Trump said that informal talks were underway with Iran but later said he would not extend the peace agreement, according to CNBC.
Crude oil prices rose more than 2% on Monday to $90.87 per barrel. A senior Iranian official told Reuters that the country would escalate tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and launch an attack on the US if it fails to reach an interim peace deal within weeks.
Japan's Nikkei 225 was the worst performer among its peers, falling around 1.6%. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index and China's CSI 300 index fell 0.6-0.7%. South Korea's benchmark Kospi was up 0.7?ter being closed on Monday for a holiday. Shares of SK Hynix rose more than 3%, boosting the index. Nikkei 225 heavyweights Advantest Corp. and Tokyo Electron fell more than 4?ch, putting pressure on the index.

Equity Alert: Mkt seen range-bound; West Asia war, crude oil prices to weigh
MUMBAI--0828 IST--Headline indices are expected to move in a range with uncertainty over peace in West Asia and high crude oil prices being the major factors weighing on the market. The expiry of the 60-day ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran Monday and lack of a new deal between them have pushed crude oil prices to over $91 per barrel. US President Donald Trump said he was not planning to extend the ceasefire pact with Iran.
"Technically, Nifty (50) index is hovering around the confluence zone of its 100-days and 200-days exponential moving averages," Vipin Kumar, assistant vice-president of research at Globe Capital Market, said. Kumar said a rise above 24450 spot levels would lead the index towards the 24600-24650 spot zone, and conversely, a fall below 24230 could drag it towards 24130-24050 spot levels. Monday, the Nifty 50 ended at 24287.65, down 78.35 points or 0.3%, and the BSE Sensex ended at 77728.16, down 281.09 points or 0.4%.
The June quarter earnings of corporate India were stable with revenue growth of around 19%, excluding those of oil marketing companies, according to Nuvama Institutional Equities. "We still think this is a tall task as tailwinds of the last four quarters all start to fade from H2FY27 (Oct-Mar)," the brokerage said. The tailwinds include depreciation of the rupee, rationalisation of goods and services tax, and metal prices, according to Nuvama. (Adhithya Aji)
Equity Alert: US indices fall amid high oil prices, West Asia war concerns
MUMBAI--0730 IST--Major US indices ended lower Monday amid fears that the war in West Asia could escalate. The 60-day ceasefire between the US and Iran ended Monday, while truce talks between Washington and Tehran stalled. Crude oil prices rose over 3% and breached the $90-per-barrel mark for the first time this month. All the major indices closed lower, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 falling more than the Nasdaq Composite.
"The number one Goal is, and always will be, that Iran cannot have, in any way, shape, or form, a Nuclear Weapon," US President Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social. In an interview with Fox News, Trump also threatened to attack Oman if it hindered talks with Iran.
All S&P 500 sectoral indices, barring the S&P 500 Energy sector, ended lower. The S&P 500 Communication Services and the S&P 500 Consumer Staples fell 1.5?ch, while the S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary and S&P 500 Financials declined more than 1%. The S&P 500 Energy was the only sector in the green, gaining nearly 1%. Shares of Exxonmobil Holdings and Chevron Corp. rose about 1?ch.
The S&P 500 Software and Services index fell nearly 3%, with chip stocks coming under selling pressure. Microsoft and Meta Platforms declined 3?ch, while Advanced Micro Devices and Qualcomm fell around 2%. Shares of Micron Technology and Applied Materials rose 4% and more than 5%, respectively.
Investors will be cautious as they wait for the quarterly results of retail companies after July's weak retail sales numbers and jobs data. "Concerns about recent softer data have the market being a bit tepid and waiting for retail earnings for direction," Phil Blancato, chief market strategist at Osaic Wealth, told Reuters. Home Depot, Target, and Walmart will release their earnings this week.
