Stocks To Watch
Stocks to watch today, January 21, 2026: Indian equity markets extended their weakness on Tuesday, ending lower amid broad-based selling and weak global cues. Following the decline, analysts said the Nifty has approached a crucial support zone near its long-term moving average, the 200 DEMA, placed around the 25,150 level.
“A brief pause or rebound cannot be ruled out at these levels. However, any recovery will largely depend on performance from the two key sectors — banking and IT — which have shown relatively better resilience so far,” said Ajit Mishra, SVP–Research, Religare Broking.
In today’s session, shares of Eternal, Tata Motors, Restaurant Brands Asia, AU Small Finance Bank, RBL Bank and several others will be in focus due to quarterly earnings and key corporate developments.
