Gainers & Losers: Top 10 stocks that moved the most on July 25

Bears dragged Dalal Street deep into the red, while selling pressure in key financial stocks contributed to heavy losses in the Nifty 50 and Sensex indices, on Friday, July 25.

Bajaj Finance | CMP Rs 913 | Shares tumbled 6 percent in trade on Friday, after India's leading non-banking financial company reported its earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. JPMorgan downgraded its rating on Bajaj Finance to 'neutral', from 'overweight' earlier. The brokerage noted that while Bajaj Finance remains a top-tier NBFC, the unexpected MSME stress and weak 2W/3W loans may lead to earnings downgrades.

Indian Energy Exchange Ltd (IEX) | CMP Rs 145 | Shares took a U-turn to soar over 12 percent on Friday, July 25. Indian Energy Exchange reported a standalone net profit of Rs 113 crore for the first quarter of the financial year 2026, up 21 percent from the Rs 93 crore net profit reported in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year.

Trident | CMP Rs 31.4 | Shares swung 8 percent to end the session 1 percent lower even as the home textiles and paper products manufacturer posted a sharp jump in quarterly profit, brushing aside a slight dip in revenue. The company’s net profit surged 89.7 percent year-on-year to Rs 140 crore in the April–June quarter. Experts say the positive momentum also stems from the India-UK FTA, which will benefit textile stocks.

Hexware Technologies | CMP Rs 737 | Shares slumped as much as 11 percent after the company posted a revenue decline in Q2. A spike in other expenses also weighed on margins. On the deal front, management said large consolidation deals remain in progress, while smaller ones are moving forward. However, slower decision-making has tempered expectations for the rest of the year.

SBI Life Insurance | CMP Rs 1,832 | Shares rose over 2 percent after it reported a 14 percent year-on-year rise in net profit to Rs 594 crore for Q1 FY26, up from Rs 520 crore in the same quarter last year. The company’s net premium income for the quarter stood at Rs 17,178.5 crore, marking a 14 percent increase over Rs 15,105.5 crore recorded in Q1 FY25. JPMorgan downgraded the stock to neutral while CLSA maintained its outperform call.

Shriram Finance | CMP Rs 616 | Shares of the BFSI major plunged as much as 3 percent after declaring its Q1 results. Its net interest income (NII) for the quarter came in at Rs 5,773 crore, falling slightly short of the estimated Rs 6,002 crore. However, it still marked a 10.3 percent year-on-year growth from Rs 5,234 crore in the same period last year.

Paras Defence & Space Technologies | CMP Rs 781 | Shares sank up to 5 percent after the company posted a muted operational performance for the June quarter. Net profit was flat at Rs 15 crore, nearly unchanged from the same period last year, while revenue rose 11.5 percent year-on-year to Rs 93.2 crore.

Cipla | CMP Rs 1,532 | Shares rallied as much as 3 percent after its consolidated net profit increased 10.3 percent to Rs 1,298 crore in the first quarter ended June 30, 2025. The company had reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 1,178 crore for the April-June period a year ago. Moneycontrol poll of 6 brokerages had pegged Rs 1,208 crore net profit; however, revenue was a miss, which had estimated Rs 7,145 crore revenue.

Phoenix Mills | CMP Rs 1,519 | The share price surged nearly 6 percent on July 25, a day after the company announced the plan to acquire remaining 49 percent stake in subsidiary Island Star Mall Developers (ISMDPL) from CPP Investments. Brokerages noted that the deal may unlock long term value for the stock.
Phoenix Mills released its results in the post market hours of July 24. The firm's net profit rose 3.5 percent on-year to Rs 241 crore in Q1 FY26 from Rs 232.5 crore in Q1 FY25.

Sona BLW | CMP Rs 470 | Shares fell over 4 percent as Rani Kapur, the mother of the firm's late Chairman Sunjay Kapur, has written a letter to the company's board, seeking immediate deferment of the company's annual general meeting (AGM), which is scheduled for July 25. She raised strong objections to the AGM being held at a time of deep mourning for the family, amid the 'suspicious' and sudden death of her son.
