Closing Bell: Nifty/Sensex Ended Marginally Higher; Asian Paints, Hindalco Top Gainers
Stock Market Live Updates: After three straight sessions of gains, the Indian stock market finished today flat as investors were wary ahead of key macroeconomic indicators and global events. The Nifty 50 ended at 25,884.90, up just 0.035%, while the Sensex closed slightly higher at 84,478.67, up 0.014%.
"Indian equity benchmarks extended gains on November 12th, closing on a firm footing with the Nifty decisively reclaiming the 25,850 mark. Global markets moved higher as investor confidence improved, supported by hopes of a deal to avoid the U.S. government shutdown and rising expectations of early Fed rate cuts following signs of a slowdown in the U.S. job market. Emerging markets also gained, reflecting the pickup in overall global sentiment," stated Bajaj Broking in its commentary.
Result Update: Yatra Online | Steady performance amidst drag on margins due to MICE
“Yatra delivered a healthy performance in 2Q led by strong momentum in its Hotels & Packages (H&P) segment. Consol. GBR rose 16.4% YoY (+13.7% QoQ), ahead of JMFe by c.10%, driven by ~40% YoY growth in H&P amidst robust corporate and MICE demand. Air bookings grew 11.7% YoY (+5% QoQ) led by higher realisation despite a 3.5% decline in passengers due to capacity constraints. Revenue rose 48.4% YoY while EBITDA grew ~1.6x YoY to INR 239mn (1% ahead of JMFe), though margin at 6.8% (-419bps QoQ) was a miss due to elevated service costs from MICE mix. The management raised its FY26 guidance for revenue less service costs to 22–23% (from 20% earlier) and Adj. EBITDA growth to 35–40% (from 30%+) underpinned by robust corporate traction and improving operating leverage. We, however, continue to build above guidance estimates due to strong corporate client additions and margin normalisation expected in 2H. We maintain ‘BUY’ with a revised Sep’26 TP of INR 215 (32x NTM PER vs. 30x earlier),” said Swapnil Potdukhe of JM Financial Institutional Securities.
Sector Update: CPI Inflation | Deflationary forces in food gathered momentum
“Headline inflation moderated to its lowest levels of 0.25% in Oct’25 vs. market expectation of 0.4%. Deflationary pressure in the food category gathered momentum while the sharp rally in gold prices kept core inflation elevated at 4.4%. Ex of vegetables, headline inflation averaged 3%. Consumer-facing sectors like clothing and footwear reflected the impact of GST rate rationalisation while inflationary pressure in services remained elevated. We see downside risk to RBI’s inflation projection of 2.6% for FY26, with our expectation of inflation at 2.2%. We believe that the RBI will avoid a failed transmission in the bond market (yields); hence, we expect a dovish tone in the December MPC meet,” commented Hitesh Suvarna of JM Financial Institutional Securities.
Result Update: Container Corporation | Margins improve but originating volumes still weak
“CCRI results were ahead on EBITDA (5% vs consensus/8% JMFe) despite a revenue miss. Realizations were largely on expected lines with EBITDA beat driven by higher EXIM margin. Management attributed the EXIM margin beat to higher operational efficiencies (double stacking/lower empties). However, originating volumes remains muted (missed our estimates by 4%) which coupled with market share loss in Mundra (on aggressive price competition) paints a challenging picture. We raise our FY26E EBITDA/EPS by 5% factoring in the 2Q beat but largely retain our FY27/28E EBITDA and PAT estimates. TP raised to INR520 (lower risk free rate) with rating at REDUCE,” commented Priyankar Biswas of JM Financial Institutional Securities.
Result Update: Info Edge | Hiring uncertainties to continue to weigh on performance
“INFOE’s 2Q operating performance was broadly in line, with standalone revenue and EBITDA growing 13.7% and 7.7% YoY, respectively. Segment wise, while recruitment profitability was a tad lower than expected, 99acres margin was a miss due to elevated marketing spends. INFOE had already reported standalone billings growth of 12.1% YoY with Recruitment/99acres/ Jeevansathi and Shiksha businesses growing 10.8%/14.0%/29.3%/12.9% YoY, respectively. Recruitment billings growth was driven by healthy traction in GCC clients (+18% YoY), while trends in non-tech/consultant/IT Services clients were relatively muted at 11%/9%/7%, respectively. Importantly, the management suggested continued uncertainties in hiring trends across a broad set of clients owing to a wide range of macro factors. We moderate our EPS estimates by 3–4% over FY26–28 and revise down our SOTP-based Sep’26 TP to INR 1,450,” commented Swapnil Potdukhe of JM Financial Institutional Securities.
Result Update: Asian Paints | Strong execution in a challenging environment; sustaining momentum will be key
“Asian Paints reported a strong earnings print in a challenging environment (intense monsoons/ competition). Revenue growth of 6% was led by better-than-envisaged decorative volume growth (+10.9% vs. our est. of 5%), resulting in 10-11% beat on EBITDA/PAT. Management attributed outperformance to a string of internal initiatives (higher brand spends, innovations, enhanced services, widening B2B net, thrust on micro markets) coupled with benefit of early festive season. On the outlook it remains cautiously optimistic – Industry growth in 1H has been soft. Some green shoots seen in September/first fortnight of October; upcoming marriage season should provide support but need to be watchful of sustainability. Overall it expects mid-single-digit sales growth with unchanged margin guidance of c.18-20% for FY26E. We have raised our est. by c.2-4%, factoring double digit volume growth in 2H and low-double-digit sales growth for FY27/28E. With improving outlook and stabilizing competitive intensity, we raise our target multiple to 50x (vs. 43x earlier) to arrive at revised TP of INR 2,800 (earlier INR 2,245). We like Asian Paints’ execution; however, with recent run-up (20% in last 1 month), upsides are capped. Maintain REDUCE. Sustained demand recovery will be key for rerating from current levels,” said Mehul Desai of JM Financial Institutional Securities.

Stock Market Live: Positive Trend in Agricultural Output and Lower Global Oil Prices Will Likely Keep CPI Levels Below RBI Target In Remaining FY26, Says Expert
Stock Market Live: The headline CPI inflation data, which came on Wednesday, has marked the lowest reading in the series ever. The low CPI inflation at 0.25% in October is the result of decline in prices of perishable items including vegetables and fruits. "Trajectory for headline is expected to turnaround as base effect support starts to recede. Nevertheless, an overall positive trend in agricultural output and lower global oil prices will likely keep CPI levels close to the lower end of RBI’s target level for inflation for the rest of the current fiscal year. This definitely creates ample policy space for RBI to cut REPO rate. However, early indicators point towards strong growth momentum, which along with rising bond yields presents a tough conundrum for MPC to balance the rate cut justification and efficacy at this point,” stated Rajni Thakur, Chief Economist, L&T Finance Ltd.
