Stocks To Watch
Stocks To Watch On October 24: Markets witnessed a volatile session on Thursday, ending the day nearly flat after a choppy trade. The benchmarks opened higher but soon turned range-bound in the first half. However, profit-booking in heavyweight stocks across sectors erased early gains, leaving the indices little changed by the close.
In Friday’s session, ITC Hotels, Dr Reddy’s, SBI Life, Hero MotoCorp, Vedanta, and other key stocks will be in focus, driven by Q2 earnings announcements and major corporate developments.
Earnings Watch:
Shares of SBI Life, Dr Reddy’s, SBI Cards, Coforge, ITC Hotels, and Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC are likely to see action as the companies release their September quarter results today.
Vedanta:
The Vedanta Group has announced an additional ₹1 lakh crore investment in Odisha, expected to create over one lakh direct and indirect jobs. The plan includes a ₹2,000-crore ferro-alloys plant in Keonjhar and two new aluminium parks — one in Jharsuguda and another at a site identified by the state government.
Choice International:
Financial services firm Choice International has expanded its wealth management business through acquisitions, adding ₹635 crore in assets under management. Its subsidiaries have signed definitive agreements to acquire the Fintoo Group’s distribution business, spanning wealth, insurance, AIFs, and PMS verticals.
Cochin Shipyard:
Cochin Shipyard has delivered ‘Mahe’, the first of eight Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Crafts (ASW SWCs) to the Indian Navy. The 78-metre-long warship is the largest Indian naval vessel powered by a diesel engine–waterjet combination.
Hero MotoCorp:
India’s largest two-wheeler maker, Hero MotoCorp, has forayed into the UK market, its 51st international destination, via a partnership with Lancashire-based MotoGB Ltd. This move follows its expansion into Italy and Spain, further strengthening its European presence.
Colgate-Palmolive:
Colgate-Palmolive (India) reported a 17% YoY decline in Q2 net profit at ₹328 crore versus ₹395 crore last year. Revenue fell 6.3% to ₹1,507 crore from ₹1,609 crore in Q2FY25, as both topline and bottomline were hit by a GST rate cut on the entire oral care portfolio — reduced from 18% to 5%.
