2/11
Hero MotoCorp | CMP Rs 4,660 | Two-wheeler major shares rose over 4 percent after it reported a flat net profit at Rs 1,126 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 as against Rs 1,123 crore a year ago. However, the firm beat estimates as a Moneycontrol poll of eight brokerage firms pegged the net profit at Rs 1,054 crore. Hero's revenue declined 5.5 percent to Rs 9,579 crore in Q1FY26 as against Rs 10,144 crore in Q1FY25.
3/11
Bajaj Auto | CMP Rs 8,229 | Shares rose 1 percent after opening 4 percent lower after the company reported a 14 percent year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to Rs 2,210.44 crore for the fiscal first quarter of FY26. Revenue from operations climbed to Rs 13,133.35 crore in Q1 FY26, marking a 10 percent increase from the same quarter last year. Bernstein and CLSA have given an outperform rating on the counter.
4/11
BHEL | CMP Rs 228 | Shares of public sector engineering and manufacturing company Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) fell over 6 percent on August 7 after the company reported a disappointing set of numbers in the June 2025 quarter (Q1FY26). The stock has crashed over 21 percent from its 52-week high.
Lupin | CMP Rs 1,937 | Shares of the pharmaceutical major gained nearly 5 percent on August 7 as analysts remained bullish after the firm posted a 52 percent year-on-year increase in net profit in the first quarter of the current financial year (Q1FY26).
6/11
NSDL | CMP Rs 1,123 | Shares of National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) hit a new high of Rs 1,123, as they rallied 20 percent on the BSE in an otherwise choppy market. NSDL made a strong listing as the stock rose 17 per cent on its debut day on the BSE a day back. The stock price of NSDL has zoomed 25 percent against its issue price of Rs 800 per share.
7/11
Trent | CMP Rs 5,316 | Shares of the apparel giant fell up to 2 percent on August 7, even after the Tata Group company reported strong June quarter results, beating Street estimates across all key metrics. Despite the beat, brokerages remain divided in their views on the stock. Brokerage firm Bernstein has an 'Outperform' rating on Trent, with a price target of Rs 6,500. However, the brokerage highlighted a significant disappointment in revenue growth.
8/11
Tata Motors | CMP Rs 646 | Shares slipped as much as 2 percent ahead of its Q1 earnings tomorrow. Analysts expect a drop in revenue amid a slowdown in volumes, a dip in passenger vehicle and JLR business. Margins will also likely face pressure due to weak operating leverage. Consolidated margins are expected to decline year-on-year by about 390 basis points.
Eternal | CMP Rs 303 | Shares of food delivery major, Eternal Ltd, formerly known as Zomato, recovered from 3 percent lows to closing over a percent higher. The stock is in the news after seeing a large deal worth Rs 5,624 crore on the bourses. Reports had suggested that Alibaba-backed Antfin Singapore Holding Pte Ltd was likely to sell its entire stake in Eternal Ltd, the parent of Zomato, for Rs 5,375 crore through block deal in a clean-up trade.
10/11
Textile Stocks | Shares of several textile companies, including Kitex Garments, KPR Mill, and Alok Industries, declined sharply on Thursday after US President Donald Trump announced an additional 25 percent tariff on Indian goods. The latest move brings the total tariff burden on Indian exports to 50 percent. Kitex Garments' share price extended its losing streak to the 11th consecutive session and was locked in the 5 percent lower circuit for the third straight day.
11/11
Shrimp Stocks | Shares of shrimp exporters such as Avanti Feeds, Apex Frozen, and Zeal Aqua, among others, dropped as much as 3 percent after a double-tariff salvo hit Indian equity markets on August 7, triggering a sharp selloff. Market experts believe this pressure could linger, particularly in stocks with significant US exposure, until the tariff uncertainty clears or India's trade disadvantage narrows compared to competing nations.
