Synopsis
Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates | After a brief dip at the opening, domestic equity indices Sensex and Nifty50 rallied on Wednesday, despite ongoing foreign outflows and lackluster earnings. The surge was primarily driven by major contributions from HDFC Bank and the Bajaj twins.
Earnings Today: HUL, Bajaj Finserv, SBI Life, TVS Motor
Highlights of trade:
- Nifty IT index rises 3%
- Godavari Biorefineries IPO opens for subscription
- Lakshya Powertech lists at 90% premium over IPO price
- Varun Beverages shares gain 3% as Q2 profit rises 22% YoY
- Coforge shares rally 7% post Q2 earnings show
- Bajaj Finance shares surge 4% after Q2 results.
- Paytm up 5%, receives NPCI nod to onboard new UPI users

Market view by Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services.
The ongoing trend of largecaps outperforming mid and smallcaps is likely to sustain, going forward. FII selling and the countervailing trend of DII buying is likely to continue. This will impart strength to largecap financials, particularly banking stocks like HDFC, ICICI, Axis and Kotak which are fairly valued in this market with elevated valuations.

Sensex Today | Market view by Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services.
The ongoing trend of largecaps outperforming mid and smallcaps is likely to sustain, going forward. FII selling and the countervailing trend of DII buying is likely to continue. This will impart strength to largecap financials, particularly banking stocks like HDFC, ICICI, Axis and Kotak which are fairly valued in this market with elevated valuations.
Investors need not rush to buy the beaten down mid and smallcaps since there is more pain left in this segment where valuations continue to remain very high. There can be individual cases of sharp rebounds in this segment. Zomato’s Q2 results indicate continuing acceleration in revenue and profitability. This is a stock to watch.
In the coming days the market will be looking forward to the outcome of the US presidential elections and its possible impact on the market.
