| ARFIN | 443.70 | +12.26% |
LORDSCHLO led the market with a 20% upper circuit, reflecting strong investor interest. ASTEC-RE followed closely, driven by speculative buying and volume-based activity. SUNDRMBRAK and ARFIN also witnessed double-digit gains owing to positive quarterly earnings and sectoral tailwinds.
Top Losers:

|---|---|---|
| TTL-RE | 0.56 | -20.00% |
| BLUEJET | 906.15 | -10.00% |

| QUADFUTURE | 84.35 | -5.92% |
| SINTERCOM | 100.75 | -5.67% |
On the losing side, TTL-RE and BLUEJET faced heavy selling pressure, each dropping significantly. 360ONE, despite being one of the most actively traded stocks with a turnover exceeding ₹3,000 crores, shed over 7% on weak institutional interest. SINTERCOM and QUADFUTURE also declined due to lower-than-expected earnings guidance.
Trading Volume Leaders:
-
360ONE recorded the highest traded volume at 258.93 lakh shares, with a value turnover of ₹3,001.69 crores.
-
AGI followed with a turnover of ₹262.95 crores, reflecting significant institutional buying.
Market Sentiment:
The sentiment in the market remained cautiously positive as investors await key domestic earnings results and global economic data. While buying was visible in selective financial and auto components stocks, broader indices showed consolidation.
Experts suggest that the current levels are being tested for sustainability, with the NIFTY’s resistance seen at 25,200 and support at 25,000 in the near term.
Outlook:
Analysts expect continued sectoral rotation and stock-specific action in the coming sessions. With FII flows stabilizing and retail participation remaining strong, the Indian equity market is likely to remain range-bound but resilient, barring global shocks.
