Summary:
Indian markets ended largely flat, but several stocks remain in focus ahead of key Q4 earnings and corporate updates. SBI share price, Titan, Swiggy, BSE, and Cochin Shipyard are among the top stocks to watch today. Investors are also closely monitoring broader AI stock trends, earnings momentum, and market sentiment.
The benchmark indexes of India remained flat in Thursday’s closing trade after losing early gains due to profit booking in the latter half of the day. Both the Sensex and Nifty 50 started their trade on a positive note and closed in the green zone except for late profit booking, driven by positive expectations regarding the easing of geopolitical relations between the USA and Iran.
In contrast, although there was no significant movement in benchmark stocks, the secondary market performed better during the day. The Nifty Midcap 100 Index advanced 1%, whereas the Nifty Smallcap 100 Index surged 0.8%.
