Equity Alert: GNG Electronics hits record high; Emkay Global initiates 'buy'
MUMBAI--1106 IST--Emkay Global Financial Services initiated coverage on GNG Electronics with a 'buy' rating and a target price of INR 725. The target implies an upside of over 27% from the stock's closing level on Monday. The company has resilient sourcing network, low warranty instances, minimal warranty expenses, the brokerage said. The company focuses on a 'repair over replacement' approach, Emkay Global noted. The stock rose more than 8% to hit a fresh all-time high of INR 616.45 on the NSE. Its trading volume was close to 900,000, higher than around 352,000 till the same time Monday. At 1102 IST, shares of GNG Electronics were up 8% at INR 614.50.
GNG Electronics' competitive position is good and it is likely to benefit in the medium term amid a supply crunch for memory chips and affordability concerns with new laptops, the brokerage said. The company's customer base across 46 countries, industry-leading warranties of one to three years, and strong brand credibility provide confidence, the brokerage said in its initiation report.
The company "...is poised to benefit from operating leverage as it scales and gain share in a highly fragmented refurbished IT products market," Emkay Global said. Operating leverage, structured sourcing, quality standardisation, and an improved product mix are expected to be the key margin drivers for the company, according to the broking firm.
The company's customer touchpoints have risen to around 4,900 in 2025-26 (Apr-Mar) from around 1,300 in FY22, the brokerage noted and said this reduces the risk of customer concentration. GNG Electronics' partnerships with Ingram Micro India and Supertron Electronics will help it deepen enterprise and institutional penetration, the brokerage said.
Emkay Global projected the company's revenue to grow 24% at a compounded annual rate between FY26 and FY29 while its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation are seen rising 30%. Over FY20-26, it delivered compounded annual growth of 41% in revenue and 80% in EBIDTA, the brokerage noted. (Ruchira Kagita)
Equity Alert: Some auto cos dn on Delhi govt's EV policy, EV stocks rise
MUMBAI--1055 IST—-Select automobile stocks traded with a negative sentiment following the Delhi government's approval to its electric vehicle policy, aimed at accelerating the adoption of electric mobility. This has made sentiment negative for Indian automobile players as the legacy portfolio dominates the industry, rather than the EV portfolio. Eicher Motors is seen takeing the worst hit, as the Royal Enfield owner lags in EV adoption.
The Delhi government's EV policy mandates that only electric auto rickshaws can be registered from Jan. 1, 2027, and only electric two-wheelers from Apr. 1, 2028. The policy also offers incentives of up to INR 30,000 in the first year for electric-two wheelers purchase, and INR 50,000 for electric rickshaws.
Shares of Ola Electric Mobility rose nearly 5% to be the top gainers in the Nifty 500. Its peer Ather Energy rose over 3%. On the other hand, shares of Eicher Motors fell nearly 7% to a one-month low of INR 6,942.50. The Royal Enfield parent company is yet to commercialise its EV portfolio, according to an analyst tracking the automobile sector. There are chances that other states might also adopt the same EV policy, especially Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, where Eicher has strong presence. Moreover, scooters contribute more to the overall two-wheeler portfolio than motorcycles, which is just 1-2%, the analyst added. Eicher Motors has no scooters in its portfolio.
"It will be a painful transition," the analyst said. More clarity regarding the policy is awaited. Until then, it will spark worries among dealers in Delhi. There is a possibility that non-EV two-wheelers could be registered in neighbouring states and used in Delhi. However, clarity on this is also needed, he said.
Shares of HeroMoto Corp were down nearly 1%. The Splendor-maker is also seen facing the heat of the new EV policy, given its higher exposure to motorcycles and large domestic franchise, according to Emkay Global Institutional Equities. (Adhithya Aji)

The order win in the water business marks a significant milestone, signalling the company's strategic entry into West Asia, a region with immense growth potential, Manish Mohnot, managing director and chief executive officer of the company, said in the filing.
"Driven by a strongly diversified order book and robust visibility across businesses, we remain confident in achieving our growth targets for 2026–27 (Apr-Mar)," Mohnot said. All 11 research reports on the company available with Informist have a 'buy' recommendation on the stock, with an average target price of INR 1,538, indicating an upside of over 14% from Monday's closing price.

Equity Alert: Maruti Suzuki rises 3% as Jefferies upgrades stock to 'buy'
MUMBAI--0948 IST--Automobile major Maruti Suzuki India's shares rose nearly 3% to an intraday high of INR 13,790, defying the negative trend in its sectoral peers. The stock rose after global brokerage Jefferies upgraded its recommendation on the stock to "buy" from "hold" and raised the target price by nearly 20% to INR 16,500. The brokerage said easing macroeconomic concerns are providing support for the automaker.
Jefferies said India's passenger vehicle demand remained strong in the first half of 2026. The easing of the war in West Asia between the US and Iran and the sharp correction in global crude oil prices have alleviated demand side concerns, NDTV Profit reported, quoting the brokerage. Jefferies upgraded the company's earnings per share estimate over the period from the financial year 2026-27 (Apr-Mar) to FY29 by 2-4%. It added that the company's price-to-earnings ratio at 24 times in FY27 is reasonable.
At 0942 IST, shares of Maruti Suzuki India were up nearly 2% from Monday at INR 13,655. Over 138,000 shares of the company had changed hands on the NSE, over three times higher than the number of shares traded till the same time Monday. The stock was the top gainer among the Nifty 50 constituents even as the Nifty Auto was among the worst-hit sectoral indices, down 0.6%. (Adhithya Aji)
Equity Alert: Nomura hikes Bharti Airtel target price by 6%, retains 'buy'
MUMBAI--0940 IST--Brokerage Nomura raised its target price on Bharti Airtel to INR 2,355 from INR 2,220 while retaining its 'buy' recommendation. The new target price implies an upside of almost 28% from Monday's closing price. A likely hike in tariffs by the December quarter, operating leverage, and ongoing premiumisation are seen as key growth drivers for the company. At 0936 IST, shares of the telecommunications major were 0.6% higher at INR 1,852 on the NSE.
The company's 5G rollout is largely complete, the brokerage said, and this is seen leading to strong free cash flows. Nomura expects the company's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation growing at a compounded annual rate of 14?tween 2025-26 (Apr-Mar) and FY29. Its free cash flows are also pegged to rise 14% during the same period.
Though Indian telecommunication players' valuations are at a premium compared to their global peers, Bharti Airtel's valuations are justified, Nomura said. This is due to its long-term potential to grow its average revenue per user, favourable market structure, multiple optionalities, and scope for regulatory advantages, according to the report. Bharti Airtel trades at a forward enterprise multiple of 8.4, based on the brokerage's FY28 estimates and at 7.2 based on FY29 projections. The company's average revenue per user in the India business is seen increasing around 9% at a compounded annual growth rate over FY26-29.
India's mobile subscribers base is close to saturation, according to Nomura. The focus for companies is now is increasing the value per user. Airtel "...may continue to sustain and help it maintain ARPU leadership," the brokerage said. (Ruchira Kagita)

In the broader market, all the smallcap indices were up around 0.2% in early trade but the midcap indices were down 0.1%. Sectoral indices were mixed, with the Nifty IT and Nifty Auto down over 1?ch. On the other hand, the Nifty Healthcare and Nifty Pharma rose 0.2-0.3%.

Equity Alert: Indices may open largely flat or with minor gains; crude down
MUMBAI--0813 IST--Benchmark equity indices are seen opening largely flat or with minor gains ahead of the upcoming US-Iran talks in Qatar, with fresh disagreements over control of the Strait of Hormuz clouding hopes of a lasting resolution to the four-month-long conflict in West Asia. Crude oil prices fell in early trade and the August futures contract of Brent Crude was at $72.70 per barrel at 0759 IST.
US President Donald Trump in a Truth Social post late Monday said Iran had requested a meeting and that the meeting would take place in Doha Tuesday. The White House announced that US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Senior Adviser to President Trump, Jared Kushner, are scheduled to travel to Doha on Tuesday for discussions with Iranian officials. However, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the Iranian delegation was not currently scheduled to hold talks with the US and was only visiting Qatar to advance efforts to secure the release of frozen assets, AlJazeera reported. Speaking at the White House Trump defined the objective of the Doha meeting as "it's really very simple, it's the denuclearisation of Iran."
"Indian equities are expected to remain cautiously optimistic amid renewed geopolitical tensions in West Asia," Siddhartha Khemka, head of research, wealth management, at Motilal Oswal Financial Services said in a note. Until there is greater clarity on the durability of the ceasefire, geopolitical developments are expected to remain a key driver of global sentiment. Market participants will closely monitor the US-Iran negotiations in Qatar, with initial discussions centred on ensuring safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, he added.
The June futures contract of the Gift Nifty indicated a largely flat opening for the domestic market. At 0800 IST, the futures contract was at 23996.50, over 50 points above the Nifty 50's previous close. The Nifty 50 index is currently hovering around the 24000 mark and is testing its 100-day moving average, which is positioned at 24176. The index is also trading above its 20-day and 50-day moving averages, placed at 23674 and 23846 points respectively, reflecting a positive short-term technical structure, Sundar Kewat, technical and derivatives analyst at Ashika Institutional Equities said.
As long as Nifty 50 holds above 23654 points, the overall outlook remains bullish. From a technical perspective, the index is likely to extend its upward move towards the 24500 level, followed by the 25000 mark. Any short-term correction or dip towards the 23800 zone should be viewed as a buying opportunity, as the broader trend continues to favour the bulls, Sundar added.
Shares of HDFC Bank will be in focus after the bank appointed Rajiv Kumar, former chief election commissioner of India and former Union finance secretary, as part-time chairman of the bank for three years. Kumar will replace Keki Mistry, who was appointed as the interim part-time chairman of HDFC Bank after Atanu Chakraborty resigned in March citing differences with the management over "values and ethics". The board also approved the appointment of Puneet Sharma as chief financial officer effective from Dec. 1. Sharma had resigned as chief financial officer of Axis Bank on Sunday and will be relieved from the services at the close of business hours Aug. 31. (Arya S. Biju)
Equity Alert: Asian mkts tad up; investors assess pause in US-Iran hostilities
MUMBAI--0804 IST--Most Asian stock indices were marginally higher shortly after open on Tuesday as global investors assessed whether the pause in hostilities between the US and Iran would ease concerns regarding energy supply. Oil prices were down in early trade, with August futures of Brent Crude oil hovering below $73 per barrel. Japan's Nikkei 225 was among the top performers, buoyed by gains in technology stocks. On the other hand, Hong Kong's Hang Seng was among the worst performers.
The Nikkei 225 touched an intraday high of 1.6% in early trade, powered by a rebound in technology stocks that has helped drive the gauge's record quarterly gains, according to a Reuters report. The index is poised to record a 36% rise over the past three months, the sharpest quarterly advance according to data going back until 1965, Reuters reported. Other gainers in the region included Taiwan's Taiex, which was up 3% in early trade and the top gainer in the region, while South Korea's Kopsi recovered from its earlier lows and climbed into gains.
"Reports that working-level talks between the US and Iran are expected to take place should also provide support for stock prices," Sony Financial Group analysts said in a report. "However, as institutional investors are expected to adjust their portfolios ahead of the end of the quarter today, volatile price movements are possible."
China's CSI 300 was up 0.3% during early trade. The country's manufacturing activity in June picked up faster than economists had expected, driven by strong demand for high-tech exports amid the global artificial intelligence boom, according to a CNBC report. The official purchasing managers' index inched up to 50.3 in June, beating the forecast of 50.1, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on Tuesday. In May, the index stood at 50.
Following are the levels of key indices in the region at 0755 IST:
| Index | Level | Change in % |
| CSI 300 Index | 4942.77 | 0.3 |
| Hang Seng Index | 22725.43 | (-)1.3 |
| Nikkei 225 Day | 70063.6 | 0.9 |

Equity Alert: US Indices end higher Mon; Dow Jones sees record closing high
MUMBAI--0725 IST--US stock indices ended higher on Monday amid broad-based gains, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average ending 0.6% higher and closing above the 52000 mark for the first time. This was after Silicon Valley stalwart Alphabet marked its first trading day on the index. The stock ended around 5% higher. Alphabet also supported gains in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, which closed 1.2% and 2.1% higher, respectively.
Among other technology gainers, VanEck Semiconductor closed over 3% higher, recovering from its decline earlier in the session, CNBC reported. In notable individual stock movements, Comcast ended 4.5% higher after the company said it would split its media and technology businesses into two listed entities, with the separation expected to be completed in around a year.
The gains on Monday mark the beginning of a shortened trading week on Wall Street, which will be shut on Friday in observance of Independence Day, CNBC reported. "It might be a little bit of light liquidity [due to the holiday-shortened trading week], so you might see bigger-than-expected moves," Joe Tigay, a portfolio manager at Equity Armor Investments, told CNBC. "We also have the end of quarter happening soon, which can cause some window dressing to happen, so advisors are wanting what they report on their quarterly statements to look attractive to their clients, and they've been locking in some gains too."
Crude oil prices ended higher on Monday amid a pause in hostilities between the US and Iran after a tense weekend of military escalation. Monday, the August futures contract of Brent Crude oil ended at around $73 per barrel, 1.6% higher than its previous close, as traders assessed whether the pause would ease concerns about energy supply disruptions.
