MUMBAI – Benchmark indices ended largely flat Wednesday after rising for three consecutive sessions. While automobile and select healthcare-related stocks lent support to the indices, a decline in heavyweight banks and information technology stocks limited gains. 

 

The Nifty 50 settled at 25953.85 points, up 18.70 points or 0.1%. Until the 50-stock index decisively breaches the 26000 level, it is likely to be in range, technical analysts said. The BSE Sensex closed at 84233.64 points, down 40.28 points or 0.1%. All broader market indices closed in the green, barring Nifty Smallcap 50, which ended marginally lower.

 

"There are two trends that can sustain the ongoing mild rally in the market," VK Vijayakumar, chief investment strategist at Geojit Investments, said. "One, this is a comprehensive rally with the broader market, too, participating with more enthusiasm. The appreciation in mid and small caps has brought cheer to retail portfolios and retail investors are participating eagerly in the rally," he said. "Two, sustained FII (foreign institutional investor) selling, which has been a major drag on the market, has stopped," the analyst added.

 

Foreign institutional investors have been net buyers in the last five out of six sessions. FPIs have been net buyers so far in February, after being net sellers in January.

 

Shares of Eicher Motors rose 6.5% and ended at a record closing level at INR 7,771 after the company reported a 21% on-year increase in its consolidated net profit for the December quarter at INR 14.21 billion. The company's net profit and revenue exceeded analysts' estimates. 

 

Shares of Apollo Hospitals Enterprise closed 4% higher after the company reported a higher-than-expected net profit and revenue for the December quarter. The company's consolidated net profit for the quarter rose 35% on year to INR 5.02 billion. 

 

Among other stocks that reacted to December-quarter earnings, Mahindra & Mahindra pared intraday gains and closed flat after its revenue and net profit missed the Street's view. Grasim Industries closed 0.7% lower after the company's net loss widened on year to INR 1.74 billion. Ashok Leyland's shares closed 1.6% lower, snapping a seven-session winning streak after the company's net profit missed analysts' estimates. Avanti Feeds rose 5.5?ter the company registered a near 10% year-on-year growth in its bottom line to INR 1.49 billion.  

 

Shares of information technology companies ended lower, tracking an overnight decline on Wall Street. A softer-than-expected US retail sales raised concerns about demand in the US, which contributes heavily to the revenue of several Indian IT companies, analysts said. Tata Consultancy was the worst-hit among Nifty 50 companies, ending 2.5% lower. Shares of other IT majors such as Wipro, HCL Technologies, and Infosys ended 1-2% lower.

 

IT stocks have been under selling pressure for several days as investors sold shares amid fears that these companies may lose market share in the US due to recent developments in artificial intelligence tools. Some analysts said there is a likelihood of lower orders for Indian companies that are dependent on outsourcing. The Nifty IT index has declined nearly 8% so far in February.   

 

Meanwhile, shares of automobile companies extended gains from Tuesday after the Federation of Automobile Dealers Association reported robust retail automobile sales in January. Bajaj Auto, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, and Maruti Suzuki India ended with gains of 1-2%. The Nifty Auto ended 1.3% higher.

 

Among Nifty 200 companies, Bharat Forge, Supreme Industries, and Astral ended around 4% higher each. Shares of Vodafone Idea ended 3.2% higher after the company's promoter Kumar Mangalam Birla made additional stake purchases, boosting investor sentiment, Moneycontrol reported. Meanwhile, Bharat Heavy Electricals was the worst-hit stock in the Nifty 200 index, ending 5.6% lower after the government said it will sell up to a 5% stake at INR 254 per share, an 8% discount to the stock's Tuesday closing price.

Among Nifty 500 companies, SJVN closed 6.3% higher after the company's net profit almost doubled on year in the December quarter to INR 2.52 billion. PCBL Chemical was the top gainer in the 500-stock index and closed 8.6% higher.

 

Shares of Poly Medicure fell 6.6% and HEG ended 5.6% lower. HEG's net profit growth slowed sharply in the December quarter, rising 43% on year. Its net profit had more than doubled on year in the December quarter.
