Indian equities ended the December 2, 2025 session on a weak note, with the Nifty 50 slipping further into negative territory even as a few high-beta smallcaps notched hefty gains. The close reflected persistent pressure on financials and select consumption names, offset partly by targeted buying in travel, pharmaceuticals, and logistics stocks.
Benchmarks Close Lower
By the closing bell, the Nifty 50 stood at 26,032.20, down 143.55 points or 0.55%, as profit booking dominated the final hour of trade. The index moved between a high of 26,154.60 and a low of 25,997.85, while Nifty Next 50, Nifty Financial Services, and Nifty Bank all finished in the red, confirming broad-based weakness in frontline segments.
Steep Losses Among Laggards
On the downside, INDO-RE2 again topped the losers list with a 40.26% plunge, signalling sustained bearishness and low conviction buying. Other notable laggards included PRITI (-10.53%), RETAIL (-10.08%), VIJIFIN (-8.86%), and ATL-RE (-8.34%), each shedding high single- to double-digit percentages on modest volumes, pointing to risk aversion in select small and midcap counters.
Strong Outperformance in Select Gainers
Despite the weak headline indices, a set of outperformers showcased robust investor interest. TIPSFILMS and SPARC hit the 19.99% upper circuit, supported by steady accumulation and improving sentiment around media and pharma themes. EASEMYTRIP rallied 19.92% with volumes of about 3,363 lakh shares and a traded value of roughly ₹281.18 crores, while SHYAMCENT and JETFREIGHT gained 12.46% and 11.64% respectively, highlighting traction in manufacturing and logistics plays.
Conclusion: December 2, 2025
The day’s trade underlined a familiar pattern of index weakness alongside stock-specific outperformance, as market participants rotated capital from vulnerable mid- and small-cap laggards into select high-growth stories. With financials dragging the benchmarks and themed stocks drawing aggressive flows, traders are likely to remain selective and event-driven in the near term.
