ensex Today, Nifty 50 | Stock Market Live Updates - Find here all the live updates related to Sensex, Nifty, BSE, NSE, share prices and Indian stock markets for 25th May 2026.

Indian benchmark indices rallied sharply on Monday, with the Nifty surging 312.40 points, or 1.32%, to close at 24,031.70, while the Sensex jumped 1,073.61 points, or 1.42%, to end at 76,488.96. Market breadth remained firmly positive as advancing stocks outpaced losers. 

Analysts attributed the rally to easing crude oil prices and improving global sentiment amid expectations of progress in a possible US-Iran deal. Large-cap stocks led the gains, supported by attractive valuations and strong quarterly earnings from financial companies. 

Auto and realty stocks also witnessed buying interest. 

According to Geojit Investments’ Vinod Nair, softer global bond yields and signs of stability in the rupee further supported sentiment. However, he noted that sustaining the rally would depend on easing geopolitical tensions and continued stability in crude oil prices.

    Stock Market Live: Markets rally on lower crude and US–Iran deal hopes; large caps and financials lead gains

    Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited

    “Markets witnessed strong positive momentum, driven by a correction in crude oil prices amid rising expectations of a potential US–Iran deal. Global sentiment improved on reports of progress towards reopening the Strait of Hormuz, although credibility remains uncertain given frequent shifts in developments. The rally was led by large caps, supported by relatively attractive valuations versus long-term averages. On the sectoral front, financials outperformed on the back of strong Q4 earnings, while autos remained constructive.

    Realty also saw renewed interest following its recent sharp correction. On the macro front, global yields softened modestly, while rupee depreciation appears to have stabilised, aided by RBI commentary highlighting that the INR is undervalued, though it is early to confirm a sustained trend. Sustainability of this momentum will depend on a credible de-escalation in geopolitical tensions and continued stability in crude oil prices.”

    Stock market live: Fresh Admissions Ease in FY26, While Delays Continue in Existing Cases: CareEdge on IBC cases

    * The aggregate recovery rate under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) remained range-bound, easing

    marginally to 30.6% in Q4FY26 from 31.6% in Q3FY26, reflecting a haircut of around 69% on admitted claims. 

    * In Q4FY26, the number of cases admitted witnessed an uptick by 8.0% year-on-year (y-o-y). However, total 

    admissions through FY26 remained below 700, indicating relatively subdued levels over the past five years.

    Extended resolution timelines have led to a sectoral distribution that has remained largely consistent with 

    previous periods.

    * The number of ongoing Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRPs) declined to 1,885 cases in FY26 from 

    1,891 cases in FY25, remaining broadly around the 1,900 level, with the manufacturing sector continuing to 

    account for the largest share of cases (36%).

    Stock market live updates: Jyoti Global Plast forays into aerial media through JV to introduce Aerial Out-of-Home (AOOH) advertising in Maharashtra

    Jyoti Aeronext, a joint venture between Jyoti Global Plast and Drone IQ Aeronext LLP, is set to enter the emerging aerial media segment and introduce Aerial Out-of-Home (AOOH) advertising in Maharashtra through a managed Drone Advertising-as-a-Service (DAAS) model.

    The venture aims to establish a new media layer within India’s evolving out-of-home (OOH) ecosystem by enabling brands to execute high-visibility, experience-led and digitally amplifiable campaigns through aerial display formats.

    As brands increasingly compete for consumer attention in cluttered urban environments, media investments are shifting towards immersive formats that combine visibility, engagement and shareability. AOOH seeks to respond to this shift by introducing an event-led and location-responsive advertising format that extends beyond conventional static outdoor inventory.

    Structured as a managed services platform rather than a standalone drone deployment offering, the business will offer end-to-end campaign execution spanning design, aerial display operations, content management, flight planning, permissions support, event execution and campaign reporting.

    The platform is expected to support automotive launches, premium real estate showcases, retail activations, public events, entertainment experiences and large-format brand campaigns. The concept material outlines an aerial LED display format designed for event-led activations and end-to-end managed execution.

    Unlike conventional outdoor formats, AOOH enables temporary, location-responsive and experience-led campaign execution – offering brands an additional layer of engagement for premium activations and high-attention environments.

    Karan Shah, Chief Financial Officer, Jyoti Global Plast, said: “Outdoor advertising is undergoing a visible shift towards more immersive and outcome-oriented formats. Through this venture, we aim to introduce aerial media as a structured and accessible category for brands while combining technology, managed execution and experiential engagement. We believe AOOH can complement India’s evolving media mix.”

    Share market live today: Headsup B2B Deepens Vertical Integration Play, Targets ₹400 crore for the current fiscal year

    Headsup B2B, a one-stop pan-India procurement and supply chain platform serving the infrastructure, industrial and renewable energy sectors, is targeting ₹400 crore in revenue this fiscal year, building on over 2,200 transactions worth ₹250 crore executed in the previous financial year. While allied infrastructure services accounted for nearly 80% of revenue during that period, renewable energy, industrial automation and road safety solutions have emerged as the fastest-growing categories, driving the company’s next phase of expansion. Infrastructure and industrial projects in India typically involve multiple suppliers and service partners across different stages, which can lead to coordination gaps and delays. 

    The initiative is aimed at helping customers manage sourcing and on-ground execution through a more integrated operating model, reducing reliance on multiple vendors and service providers across projects. It builds on the company’s presence in procurement-led infrastructure categories, where customer requirements often extend beyond sourcing into installation, deployment, and project execution. 

    Commenting on the development, Sumit Kumar, Founder & Director, Headsup B2B, said, “Over the past year, we have seen customers seek support not only for procurement, but also for execution-related requirements linked to infrastructure projects. Since we already operate in these categories, this expansion allows us to extend our role in areas where customer requirements continue after sourcing is completed.”

    Currency Market Live: Rupee gains 0.45% on US-Iran peace hopes, softer crude; outlook cautious pending final agreement

    Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst - Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities

    “Rupee traded strongly positive near 95.22, gaining around 0.45%, as improving sentiment around the US–Iran conflict supported risk assets and eased pressure on crude oil prices. Reports suggesting progress towards a possible peace framework and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz helped strengthen the rupee and other emerging market currencies.

    However, uncertainty still remains elevated after US President Donald Trump stated that the Hormuz blockade would continue until a final agreement is formally signed, keeping markets cautious despite positive negotiations.

    The rupee recovery is also being aided by softer crude prices and improving sentiment in global markets, though movement ahead will continue to depend heavily on final developments in US–Iran negotiations and energy market stability.”

    SEBI bans 7 individuals in ₹20-cr stock manipulation case

    Capital markets regulator Sebi has barred seven individuals from securities markets for allegedly running a coordinated pump-and-dump scheme across social media platforms and making unlawful gains of over Rs 20.25 crore.

    Apart from the debarment, the regulator has also directed finfluencer Hemant Gupta and his sons, Rohan Gupta and Aniket Gupta, to immediately cease and desist from offering unregistered research analyst services or from portraying themselves as research analysts.

    In a 234-page interim order passed on May 22, Sebi alleged that Hemant, Rohan and Aniket acted as “Operators” who first accumulated positions in thinly traded SME stocks and later circulated bullish stock recommendations on social media platforms to inflate prices, before selling their holdings at a profit.

    Four other family members – Sharon, Leana, Rajani and Purvangi Gupta – allegedly facilitated the operation by allowing the use of their trading accounts or by executing trades on the operators’ instructions, the order said. - PTI

    Crisil upgrades Vodafone Idea Ltd Credit rating to ( A-/ stable) on continued support by ABG, strategic market position and improved business operations

    Key points to note:

    The ratings factor in the strategic importance of VIL for the Aditya Birla Group and the financial, operational and managerial support to be provided by the group to VIL. ABG sees VIL as a strategically important entity and the recent appointment of Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla as VIL’s chairman highlights strong management control of the group.

    The ratings also reflect VIL’s meaningful market position in the Indian mobile services market with a subscriber market share of 15.68% as of March 2026 (based on data from TRAI) and its presence across all the 22 telecom circles.

    Planned capex of Rs 45,000 crore, to be incurred over fiscal 2027 to 2029, should increase operating revenues, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortisation and rentals (EBTIDAR) and hence higher cash flow generation. The capex will be prioritised in 17 circles so as to enhance the 4G network coverage and add5G sites. For the planned capex of Rs 45,000 crore over fiscal 2027 to fiscal 2029, the debt funding tie-ups are at advanced stages. With expected improvement in business, resolution of AGR dues, along with presence of ABG and its financial flexibility is expected to help the company tie-up finance on competitive terms.

    Notes the subscriber loss has reduced significantly during fiscal 2026 with net additions in the last two months of fiscal 2026.

    Crisil Ratings also takes note of the recent announcement on resolution of AGR dues by the DoT. The liabilities pertaining to AGR have reduced to Rs 64,046 crore from Rs 87,695 crore with minimal repayments till fiscal 2035. This should ease pressure on cash flow position over the near to medium term.

    “Talking domestic stocks, and the nifty ended 0.3% higher at 23719, but not before retreating from its intraday highs for a second straight day. The India VIX finished flat. Both the front-month nifty and bank nifty saw short covering. Mid- and small-caps finished mixed. Advancers balanced decliners on the NSE500. Five of the main NSE sectors rose, with financial services becoming the best performers as they gained 1.2%. Media stocks performed the worst as they slipped 1.5%. Like we have been saying, bulls remain in the game with support in the 23100 - 23300 zone protected and all they need to do now is get the nifty to close above 23800 first, and then rebound beyond 24300 before critical resistance at 24800 begins to matter again. On the downside, a break below 23400 will weaken the current bull case. Last week’s price action has become an “inside bar”, which means a trending move is likely to begin shortly. 

    Now, coming to flows, based on provisional data, foreigners withdrew around 4440 cr while domestic players invested just over 6000 cr. 

    Speaking index options positioning, foreigners and prop traders switched to bullish, while retail investors turned negative.”

    Market analysis by Vikram Subburaj, CEO, Giottus.com

    Bitcoin recovered to around $77,000 on May 25 after US President Trump said on May 23 that a US-Iran peace framework was ‘largely negotiated’ and that the Strait of Hormuz could reopen. BTC rose about 0.6% to $77,043 and Brent crude fell more than 5% to below $99. Also, the dollar weakened as global risk appetite improved. The recovery, however, remained limited. Bitcoin still has to defend the $76,000-$76,650 support band and reclaim the $78,000-$79,000 resistance zone before the market can treat the move as a genuine reversal rather than a geopolitical relief bounce. 

    Bitcoin’s consolidation came after a volatile three-week stretch that saw the asset lose nearly 39% from its October 2025 peak of $1,26,287. 

    The market is no longer reacting primarily to crypto-native triggers. ETF demand has weakened materially through May. US spot Bitcoin ETF flows have turned from a support to a pressure point. During the May correction, investors pulled about $1.26 billion from these ETFs over five trading sessions. This included a $635 million to $648 million single-day outflow around May 13. For context, Bitcoin was still holding near $77,000 on May 25, but the ETF tape showed that institutional buyers were not defending every dip. This matters because spot ETFs had absorbed a large part of the new Bitcoin demand since the 2024 launch (of Spot BTC ETFs). When a $1.5 trillion asset class sees five straight sessions of ETF redemptions, the signal is not panic. It is allocation discipline. Investors are waiting for clearer inflation data, lower bond-yield pressure, or a stronger reclaim of the $78,000-$79,000 resistance band before adding fresh exposure. 

    On-chain positioning also reflects a market that is neither fully bullish nor in capitulation. Analysts’ desks place the active-investor equilibrium zone near the upper-$70,000 range. Bitcoin trading slightly below that band indicates that newer holders are still under pressure. However, the deeper long-term support remains far lower near realised-price territory around the mid-$50,000s. The market is therefore trading in a transition phase rather than a clear breakout cycle.

    Bitcoin’s next move is tied to macro data more than token-specific news. The market is awaiting the US April PCE inflation print on May 28 and the next US Fed decision on June 17. Until then, BTC has to defend the $76,000-$76,650 support band and reclaim the $78,000-$79,000 resistance zone. If inflation stays sticky and US yields remain firm, a move below $75,000 becomes more likely. If PCE cools, ETF flows improve, and BTC closes above $79,000, the market gets a cleaner path back towards $80,000-$82,000. 

    Altcoins continue to lag Bitcoin in relative strength. Ethereum traded near $2,101 on May 25 and remained under pressure after failing to reclaim the $2,300 zone. Solana traded near $85.35 after remaining nearly 30% below its late-2025 levels. XRP held near $1.35, while BNB traded around $657 with relatively lower volatility. TRON continued to show relative resilience near the $0.36 range. CoinMarketCap’s Altcoin Season Index remained at just 37/100. This confirms that capital rotation into higher-beta assets has not yet meaningfully resumed.

    Our advice: For investors, the cleaner signal is not a single geopolitical bounce. The stronger confirmation would come from three things happening together: Bitcoin reclaiming $79,000, ETF flows turning positive again, and softer US inflation data reducing pressure from yields and the dollar. Till then, keep allocations modest and measured.

The moves came as Brent dropped over 5% to $97.60 a barrel, the lowest in more than two weeks, amid optimism a deal will help resume the flow of energy through the vital Middle East artery.

    Cheaper oil prices and lower inflation expectations helped lift Treasury futures, with cash trading closed Monday due to a US holiday. Government bond yields in Japan and Australia also fell. Markets in Hong Kong and London are also shut.

    Futures contracts for the S&P 500 rose 0.9% to a record, after the underlying gauge climbed for eight straight weeks in the longest winning run since 2023. The dollar weakened against all of its Group-of-10 peers. Non-interest-bearing assets such as gold and silver climbed as lower inflation lifts chances for interest-rate cuts.

    Vedanta Aluminum Metal Limited (VAML)- Market expects it to list at ~Rs550/ share

    - VAML business will consist of alumina refining, aluminum smelting, captive coal & bauxite mines and value-added downstream products. Management emphasized cost leadership, vertical integration, and scale expansion. 

    * Capacity expansion overview: BALCO aluminum smelter capacity to increase from 0.59mtpa to 1mtpa post expansion. Total aluminum production capacity is expected to rise from 2.4mtpa in FY25 to 2.88mtpa in FY27 and 3mtpa by FY28. 

    Management has set a medium to long term target to increase captive coal mining capacity from ~2.6mtpa to 40+ mtpa. Captive bauxite mining would add 9-12mtpa with 25+ years of mine life.

    - Financial outlook: EBITDA is expected to improve from USD 2.9bn in FY26 to USD 4.5-5.8bn by FY29. Aluminum volumes are expected to increase from 2.4mt in FY26 to 3mt by FY29. Hot metal cost is expected to reduce from ~USD 1,752/t in FY26 to ~USD 1,550-1,600/t by FY29. The company targets to maintain leverage (net debt/EBITDA) below ~1.5x. Value-added products (VAP) market share is targeted to increase from 71% to 90%. 

    * Key strategic strengths: Captive coal and bauxite security, integrated refinery with efficient smelter operations, higher value-added product mix, and strong logistics advantage from eastern India footprint

    Ratings update

    CLSA on NTPC

    O-P, TP Rs 459

    FY26 rec. PAT (consolidated) grew 18% despite a decline in its generation while its peer JSW was in losses and Adani Power’s recurring PBT was down 4%

    FY26 Consolidated PAT was up 18% YoY driven by regulated equity (RegEq) growth of 11% YoY (parent: up 4% YoY), operational efficiency with a 17bp YoY rise in coal PAF and a supportive FY25-29 regulatory regime for energy security

    Key was its US$31bn Capex plan over FY27-29 (c.2x) led by under construction of 19GW in regulated and 15GW of non-fossil (NFE) projects for an installed 89GW, plus its entry into BESS.

    It now has 59% of its 60GW NFE vision operating or under construction, solidifying its transition path

    Expect PAT growth to drive up its ROE 130bps over FY26-29CL.

    Jefferies on NTPC

    Buy TP Rs 470

    NTPC did a one-time remeasurement of deferred taxes in March Qtr, hence YoY numbers are not comparable.

    FY26 PAT was 14% above estimates led by 8.1 GW capacity addition vs 7.1 GW estimate

    Raise FY27E-28E EPS by 6-8% to factor the beat.

    Management retained 9.6 GW FY27E addition guidance but lowered FY28E from 10.6 GW to 10 GW

    Lower FY27E-28E addition to 8.1-10.2 GW from 9.1-12.1 GW.

    Capacity ramp-up is a key re-rating driver ahead.

    Bernstein On NTPC

    Recommendation Outperform; Target ₹430

    Execution in line with our expectation

    One of the few reasonably valued utilities left

    Renewables - Big target for FY27 but grid could be a limitation

    Concerns is that NTPC might be ceding ground to private players and is going slow on new thermal award

    JPM on LTM

    Downgrade to N, TP cut to Rs 4500 from Rs 5100

    LTM announced that it has issued an offer to acquire Randstad’s technology and consulting services business in Europe and Australia.

    Revenues of these entities (€469m) have declined sharply in the past two years while estimate business operates at much lower 4-5% Ebitda margins, given its onshore-heavy nature, which should be materially margin-dilutive.

    LTM has also announced concomitant contracts to take over and build a GCC for Randstad in India and a reverse contract to Randstad to support LTM’s subcon needs

    While, across three contracts, management doesn’t see any EPS dilution, estimate acquisition alone could drive 2% EPS dilution due to amortization costs and lower interest income.

    Moreover, don’t see obvious horizontal service line or vertical synergies, given its focus on digital engineering and cybersecurity rather than core IT Services, which LTM focuses on.

    Cross-sell opportunities as they exist should be limited by different buying centers for engineering and IT services

    Acquisition price appears to be modest at €160m on a EV/Sales basis (0.34x), but not on implied profit multiples (8x EBITDA, 13-15x EBIT), given global/EU peer multiples.

    More than price paid, see this acquisition as a sign that organic growth opportunities are drying up and management is being forced to evaluate unusual acquisitions to bulk up rather than thoughtfully add capabilities. Fear management distraction, due to closure of the acquisition by 3Q27 and ekeing out of synergies after that, could weigh on execution.

    Moderate organic revenues/EPS by 1-2%, cut target PE multiple from 21x to 19x

    HSBC On LTIMindtree

    Recommendation Buy; Target ₹5250

    Management expects limited margin impact

    Europe business scale-up and stronger presence in Australia banking aiding medium-term growth

    Acquisition aligned with LTIM’s five-year strategy

    Kotak Inst Eqt on Ramco Cements

    Sell, TP Rs 690

    QFY26 EBITDA missed estimates on lower volumes and margins

    Co’s next phase of expansion to 31 mtpa should be in place by end of March 2027, largely via debottlenecking and brownfield expansions.

    However, capex of Rs10 bn in FY2026 substantially undershot company guidance of Rs12 bn at start of year.

    Capex guidance of Rs8 bn for FY2027 suggests cautious approach to further expansion

    Expect co to focus on debt reduction in interim amid sustained competitive intensity

    Exposure to regional dynamics makes earnings region-dependent and more volatile to peers.

    Jefferies on Ramco Cements

    Hold, TP Rs 920

    Q4 EBITDA at Rs3.7bn (+16% YoY) missed ests on weak vols/ unit EBITDA.

    Vols grew +4% YoY vs est of +7%; FY26/FY25 vols have been flattish YoY, indicating sustained share losses following UTCEM/ACEM growing foothold in South.

    Co has guided for Rs500+/T cost inflation related to war, with some price hike (insufficient) taken in April.

    In past 2 yrs, Co has monetised non-core assets/lowered Capex to contain leverage.

    HSBC on Dalmia

    Buy, TP Rs 2490

    Dalmia acquires Jaiprakash Associates’ cement assets at USD68/t, well below replacement cost of USD100/t

    Acquisition addresses key investor concerns around growth and expensive M&A

    Dalmia’s valuation (10.3x EV/EBITDA) and regional exposure (South, East) are key positives

    CLSA on Dalmia

    O-P, TP Rs 2240

    Announced acquisition of a 5.2mt cement asset from Adani Group in central India for a consideration of ~US$70/T

    Find deal valuations attractive compared to cost of setting up organic capacity and recent deals in sector

    This provides Dalmia with immediate growth and geographical diversification

    Do not see any meaningful medium-term disruption because of this deal, given asset was defunct so far; however, immediate increase in supply could disturb demand-supply balance in near term.

    CITI on Dalmia

    Buy, TP Rs 2450

    DBL Acquires JPA’s Central India Assets for ~$60/t

    This acquisition helps: DBL’s expansion targets and India diversification.

    Further, any progress on their goals – maximizing ROCE from all assets, improving utilization, price and product premiumization focus, continued cost reduction could yield favorable returns. EV/t at $60 is inexpensive

    Concerns around MF units have resurfaced, which could keep stock range bound pending clarity.

    Jefferies on Dalmia

    Buy, TP Rs 2445

    Dalmia has signed an agreement to acquire 5.2MTPA/3.3MTPA Cement/ Clinker assets from Jaypee/Adani at an implied EV/T of ~USD70

    Deal revives Dec-22 agreement & is likely to increase competition in Central region

    While assets are old & require refurbishment, the M&A provides Dalmia entry into a new region.

    Mgmt expects faster ramp-up aided by prior exposure; Adani’s decision to divest, rather than house assets in Ambuja, appears balance-sheet driven.

    Hold, TP Rs 2150

    Q4FY26 sales were up 9% y-o-y (2yr CAGR: 3.5%), a 4% beat; topline split equally between volume and value

    Colgate saw positive impact on premium portfolio, and premiumization remains the key long-term driver

    Lift FY27e EBITDA by 1%, don’t see growth trajectory changing

    Nomura on Colgate

    Upgrade to Buy, TP Rs 2500

    Core returning to normal levels; doubling down on premiumization to aid growth/margins

    See Colgate’s core portfolio returning back to normative levels vs below-normal levels seen in FY26

    CLGT is also doubling down on premiumization, with premium saliency increasing by 35% over the past two years

    Expect revenue growth momentum to improve and return to near-double-digits in FY27F vs flat in FY26

    This should be led by an improvement in volume growth which witnessed a revival in 4Q to 4.5% y-y after seeing four quarters of declines

    Expect favorable base to be supportive and drive mid-single-digit volume growth

    Also expect the return of pricing growth back to mid-single-digit after low-single-digit growth in FY26, & don’t expect any volume backlash

    Jefferies on Colgate

    Buy, TP Rs 2600

    While core product has sticky customer behaviour, revenue growth is more variable, with Colgate’s FY26 quarterly ranging from -6% to +9% in 4Q

    Presentation focused heavily on oral care, but little beyond - think parent could take cues from Indian franchises like Marico & Tata Consumer

    Favourable base in FY27 should propel EPS growth to D/D, a first after a three-year hiatus, which should bring some investor interest back to name

    CITI on Colgate

    Sell. TP Rs 2050

    4Q performance (~9% revenue growth, with a balanced mix of volume and pricing) and management commentary indicate a gradual recovery in growth, supported by improving category trends (post GST-led affordability benefits), a pickup in urban demand and a favourable base

    That said, volume recovery is likely to remain steady rather than sharp

    Co continues to rely on premiumisation as key growth lever, with premium mix (Colgate Total, Visible White, therapeutics) up 35% over the past two years, supported by elevated media investments and favourable e-commerce mix.

    However, margin outlook suggests increasing pressure, driven by higher advertising intensity, GST-related headwinds (160bps impact from the inverted duty structure) and sustained competitive intensity.

    Kotak Inst Eqt on Colgate

    Reduce, TP Rs 2025

    CLGT reported 9% yoy growth in revenues (KIE: 5%), ahead of peers (high single digits/low single digits for Dabur/HUVR)

    Print was driven by a balanced volume and pricing growth.

    EBITDA margin contracted 210 bps yoy to 31.9% (KIE: 32.8%) on account of GM decline and inverted duty structure impact (~160 bps).

    While CLGT management expects growth momentum to sustain, it has called out EBITDA margin pressure in near term, given lack of GM tailwinds, step-up in A&P spends & continued impact of inverted duty structure.

    Torrent expects F27 semaglutide sales of Rs2-2.5bn, making it its biggest product launch opportunity yet

    CLSA on Aurobindo

    Downgrade to hold, TP raised Rs 1490 from Rs1370

    Reported an in-line quarter driven by strong revenue growth in Europe; US declined YoY.

    Margins (in line) were lower YoY owing to higher opex.

    It expects US$2bn revenue from the US in two years (vs. US$1.6bn in FY26), double-digit growth in Europe in FY27, and 21% consolidated margin in FY27

    While it expects new launches, portfolio expansion and acquisitions to lead overall growth, expect the full impact of these initiatives only from FY28

    BoFA Sec on Aurobindo

    Buy, TP Rs 1700

    While ARBP’s US sales were 8% lower QoQ (vs BofAe flattish) on soft seasonality, company reported an inline EBITDA of Rs17.5Bn (20% margin).

    This was supported by the 160bps QoQ gross margin expansion largely on Pen-G plant ramp-up.

    While $2Bn US revenue run-rate (vs $1.6Bn in FY26) depends on Lannett deal closure (2QFY27), 21% margin guidance is 50-100bps higher than street/BofA estimates.

    GS on Aurobindo

    Buy, TP Rs 1550

    4Q broadly in line with estimates (+2% vs. GSe), with sales/EBITDA growing by +6%/+1% yoy driven by strong growth in Europe (+29% yoy) and growth markets (+25% yoy) partially offset by a slower US which is still seeing impacts of the gRevlimid ramp-down (-13% yoy).

    EBITDA margin came in steady at 20.3% (-16bps vs. GSe), as higher GMs (+216bps yoy) were offset by higher employee costs

    Rupee to extend rally on US-Iran deal hopes, RBI Governor's remarks aid sentiment

    The Indian rupee is set to build on its two-session rally on Monday as hopes of a deal to end the Iran war boosted risk appetite, ‌while the central bank governor’s remarks on the currency are expected to aid sentiment as well.

    Reserve Bank of ⁠India Governor Sanjay Malhotra told the Mint newspaper that the central bank will do “whatever is required” to ensure orderly movements in the foreign exchange market ‌and that following its recent fall, the rupee appears undervalued.

    Malhotra’s remarks follow two consecutive days of firm central ‌bank intervention, per traders, in the foreign exchange market, which ‌helped ⁠the rupee recover from its record low of near ⁠97 per dollar hit on Wednesday last week.

    On Monday, the rupee is expected to open around 95.50 per dollar, up from its close around 95.69 on Friday. The currency is ‌down 6% over 2026 is so far.

    Traders expect the currency to hold a slightly positive bias through the session as Brent crude oil prices retreated below $100 per barrel for ‌the first time in over two weeks on optimism that the U.S. and Iran are moving closer to a peace deal.
