Indian stock markets will be in activity on Monday, July 20 as stock markets are expected to have a full-on reaction to various Q1 FY27 earnings, developments in the energy space and geopolitical tension in the Middle East. Banking stocks, oil-linked companies and recently listed ones will keep the market on the boil.
Reliance Industries (RIL)
Reliance Industries will be closely watched following record quarterly core profit and EBITDA figures in the June quarter. The company’s performance in its core businesses and strong performance in its core businesses has propelled investor sentiment to record levels of confidence, and has helped to make the stock one of the market’s top three most influential stocks to watch closely now that it is in the spotlight.
HDFC Bank
HDFC Bank posted a Q1 FY27 net profit of ₹19,060 crore, up around 5 per cent year-on-year. But margin pressure and earnings that fell short of some market expectations may keep the stock under pressure on the market today.
ICICI Bank
ICICI Bank’s net profit grew 16 percent as a result of loans and fees and asset quality gains, the company said. Investors are optimistic about the company's earnings.
CMPDI
Coal sector PSU CMPDI will be kept on the radar of investors as recent corporate information and sector updates will be on the list. Any news from operations or government initiatives may affect the stock.
Punjab National Bank (PNB)
As investors look at the outlook for PSU banks with strong credit growth and asset quality on hand and with a good quality of the loan books, PNB will be on the list, along with other banking stocks.
Paytm
Paytm shares could see increasing investor interest in fintech companies and regulatory changes to the digital payment industry. Investors will monitor any new business updates or announcements from Paytm.
Oil-Linked Stocks
Energy firms including ONGC, Oil India, BPCL, HPCL, IOC and Reliance Industries are likely to be in focus as Brent crude oil rates are above $90 per barrel amid rising tensions in the Middle East. Higher crude prices will benefit upstream oil producers but will also put pressure on oil marketing companies.
Kotak Mahindra Bank
Kotak Mahindra Bank will also be watched closely with investors watching earnings expectations for the rest of the banks. Brokerages are optimistic for the long run for leading private banks despite the recent volatility.
