STOCKS TODAY

Interglobe Aviation

The shares of IndiGo-parent InterGlobe Aviation jumped over 3.5 percent after the company announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to establish a codeshare partnership and mutual co-operation agreement with China Southern Airlines.

Bajaj Finance

Shares of Bajaj Finance fell as much as 7 percent after the lender cut its FY26 growth guidance despite its Q2 FY26 results broadly meeting Street estimates. The company’s July-September quarter performance showed expansion in key metrics, but asset quality worsened.

Apex Frozen

The shares of shrimp export Apex frozen surged over 12 percent amid rising hopes for India and the US reaching their much-awaited trade deal. This would likely result in a reduction in tariffs levied on Indian exports to the US, benefitting these export-oriented sectors significantly.

MTAR Tech

Defence share MTAR Tech went up 6.76 percent after a day, after at least nine people died after a high-intensity explosion ripped through a slow-moving car at a traffic signal near Delhi’s Red Fort metro station.

Ather Energy

The shares of Ather Energy, meanwhile, jumped over 5 percent. Electric-scooter maker reported a net loss of Rs 154 crore for Q2 FY26. This is lower than the Rs 197 crore net loss reported in the same period of the previous financial year.
