Let's catch up on the latest news from the stock market. From significant investments to major deals, quarterly earnings, fund raising and appointments, here’s a quick look at which stocks will be in focus in today's trade:

Stocks To Watch

Mankind Pharma

The company has received regulatory approvals, including approval from the Competition Commission of India, for the acquisition of Bharat Serums and Vaccines. In July 2024, the Share Purchase Agreement was executed between the company, Bharat Serums and Vaccines, the sellers (Ansamira and Miransa—affiliates of funds managed by Advent International), and certain minority shareholders (Bhaskar Iyer and Abhijit Mukherjee) for the acquisition of a 100% stake in Bharat Serums and Vaccines.

Zydus Lifesciences

The pharmaceutical company has received tentative approval from the USFDA to manufacture Enzalutamide tablets in 40 mg and 80 mg strengths. Enzalutamide is used for treating castration-resistant prostate cancer and metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.

Ashoka Buildcon

The infrastructure company has received a letter of award for a project worth Rs 474.10 crore from MMRDA, involving the design and construction of an elevated road from Kalyan Murbad Road to Badlapur Road to Pune Link Road. Additionally, it has bagged two more letters of award for contracts worth Rs 1,264 crore, which include the design and construction of a creek bridge from Kolshet to Kalher, and another from Gaimukh to Payegaon.

Eicher Motors

Royal Enfield sales increased by 11% year-on-year to 86,978 units, exceeding analysts' estimates, compared to 78,580 units sold in September last year. Exports in September jumped by 77% to 7,652 units, compared to 4,319 units in the same month last year.

Hero MotoCorp

The two-wheeler major has announced sales of 6.37 lakh units in September 2024, beating analysts' estimates and growing by 18.7% over the 5.36 lakh units sold in the same month last year. Domestic sales increased by 18.6% year-on-year to 6.16 lakh units, and exports grew by 21.7% to 20,344 units during the month.

Maruti Suzuki India

The country's largest carmaker recorded total sales of 1.84 lakh units in September 2024, marking a 1.9% increase from the 1.81 lakh units sold in the same month last year. Total domestic sales fell by 1.15% to 1.57 lakh units, as domestic passenger vehicle sales dropped by 3.9% to 1.45 lakh units. However, total exports jumped by 23.2% to 27,728 units compared to September 2023.

Dabur India

While demand trends showed some improvement, heavy rain and floods across parts of the country impacted out-of-home consumption and consumer offtake during Q2FY25. This led to some negative impact on its business, especially in the beverage category. The company is expected to post a mid-single-digit decline in consolidated revenue for the quarter, although its international business is expected to register double-digit constant currency growth in topline. The Badshah Masala business continued to perform well, growing in double digits in Q2. However, low primary sales will impact the company’s profitability in Q2, and the operating margin is expected to decline in the mid-to-high teens due to deleveraging and continued investments in brands.

South Indian Bank

The lender recorded gross advances at Rs 84,741 crore (provisional numbers) for Q2FY25, growing by 13.07% from Rs 74,947 crore in the same quarter last year. Total deposits during the same period increased by 8.6% to Rs 1.05 lakh crore, while CASA grew by 8% year-on-year to Rs 33,583 crore in Q2FY25.

ITC

ITC Infotech India, a subsidiary of the company, has acquired 100% shares of Blazeclan Technologies for Rs 485 crore. Consequently, Blazeclan and its subsidiaries have become step-down wholly owned subsidiaries of the company, effective October 1.

Allcargo Logistics

The board has approved the sale of company's 7.6% equity stake in Haryana Orbital Rail Corporation to promoter group company Allcargo Terminals for Rs 115 crore.

International Conveyors

Shareholders have approved the re-appointment of RK Dabriwala as Managing Director of the company for three years, and the appointment of Narayan Tulsiram Atal as Non-Executive Independent Director for five years.

Ujjivan Small Finance Bank

The Reserve Bank of India has granted an Authorised Dealer Category 1 licence to Ujjivan Small Finance Bank.

Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers

The Government of India has extended the additional charge of Chairman & Managing Director of Fertilizer and Chemicals Travancore to SC Mudgerikar for one year, effective October 1.

NMDC

The company reported iron ore production of 3.04 million tonnes (MT) in September 2024, growing by 1.3% over the 3 MT produced in the same month last year. Sales grew by 13.8% year-on-year to 3.54 MT in September.

Coal production in September fell by 1% to 50.9 million tonnes, compared to 51.4 million tonnes in the same month last year. Offtake declined by 1.4% year-on-year to 54.4 million tonnes during September.
