Here is a list of stocks that may remain in focus today

Earnings today: According to the BSE list, as many as 290 companies are slated to release their earnings for the June quarter of the fiscal year 2025-26 (Q1 FY26). Astral, IPCA Laboratories, SJVN, Bata India, BEML, Belrise Industries, Cello World, Eureka Forbes, Titagarh Rail Systems, Brigade Hotel Ventures, Bajaj Consumer Care, Ashoka Buildcon and Shalimar Paints are some of the names on the list.
Tata Motors: The country's largest commercial vehicle maker on Friday reported a consolidated net profit of ₹3,924 crore in the first quarter of the current financial year (Q1FY26), marking a decline of 30% from ₹5,643 crore in the same period last year.

Tata Motors' revenue from operations declined 2.5% to ₹1.04 lakh crore in the April-June period from ₹1.07 lakh crore in the year-ago period. The company's operating profit declined 33% to ₹10,224 crore, and its operating profit margin contracted to 9.79%.

Tata Motors' performance in the first quarter was impacted by a volume decline in all businesses and a drop in profitability primarily at JLR, the company said. JLR revenues were down by 9.2% to £6.6 billion with EBIT margins of 4.0% (-490 bps) affected by the US trade tariff impact.

Voltas: The air-conditioning maker and engineering services provider’s consolidated net profit fell 58% to ₹140.61 crore from ₹335 crore in the same period last year.

The company’s consolidated total income declined 19.6% to ₹4,020.65 crore from ₹5,001 crore a year earlier. Revenue from operations was down 20.22% at ₹3,912.29 crore, compared to ₹4,903.91 crore in the April–June quarter of FY25.

Profit before tax came in at ₹203 crore, lower than the ₹452 crore reported in the corresponding period last year. Total expenses stood at ₹3,792.05 crore, a fall of 16.11% from the year-ago quarter.

"The quarter was marked by unseasonal and unpredictable weather conditions. The early monsoon delayed the onset of summer, kept temperatures relatively mild, and abruptly concluded the season. This resulted in a sharp decline in demand for cooling products, particularly in the case of air conditioners," Voltas said in its earnings statement.

Grasim Industries: The Aditya Birla Group firm on Friday reported a rise of 32% in consolidated net profit at ₹1,419 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, as compared to ₹1,075 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year.

Its revenue from operations also increased 16% to ₹40,118 crore during the quarter under review compared to ₹34,610 crore in the same period of the last year. The growth was driven by all-round growth across key businesses.

On the operation level, Grasim’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) grew 37% to ₹6,087 crore in the reporting quarter as against ₹4,438 crore in Q1 FY25. The margin expanded to 15.17% in Q1 FY26 in contrast to 12.8% YoY.

Wockhardt: Pharmaceuticals firm Wockhardt Ltd on Friday reported a widening of consolidated loss after tax at ₹108 crore in the June quarter, hit by impairment due to liquidation of subsidiaries in the US after exiting the generics business in the country.

The company had posted a consolidated loss after tax of ₹16 crore in the corresponding quarter last fiscal year, Wockhardt Ltd said in a regulatory filing. Consolidated revenue from operations in the quarter was marginally down at ₹738 crore against ₹739 crore in the year-ago period.

Total expenses in the quarter under review were lower at ₹770 crore compared to ₹775 crore in the same period a year ago, the company said.

TVS Supply Chain Solutions: Shares of TVS Supply Chain Solutions will be in focus as the company recorded multi-fold growth in its consolidated net profit for the quarter ended June 30.

The global supply chain solutions provider had reported a consolidated profit after tax for Q1 FY26 at ₹71.16 crore in contrast to ₹7.47 crore during the corresponding quarter of the last financial year, registering a growth of 914% year-on-year (YoY).

Its revenue from operations during the quarter under review increased a little over 2% to ₹2,592 crore from ₹2,539 crore registered in the year-ago period.

On the operational level, the TVS Supply Chain’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) slipped 3% to ₹176 crore in Q1 of FY26 as against ₹181 crore in the year-ago period. The margin for the quarter also contracted to 6.7% in Q1 FY26 as compared to 7% in Q1 FY25.

Shipping Corporation of India: The state-owned firm’s net profit grew 22.8% YoY to ₹366.3 crore from ₹298.3 crore in the first quarter of FY25. However, revenue dipped 13.1% to ₹1,316 crore as compared to ₹1,514 crore in the year-ago period.

Its revenue from operations surged 28.4% to ₹1,293 crore against ₹1,007 crore in the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal.

Power Mech Projects’ operating profit, also known as EBITDA, for the quarter under review increased 49% to ₹170.4 crore over ₹114.4 crore year-on-year. The EBITDA margin expanded appreciably to 13.2% from 11.3% in the year-ago quarter.

ICICI Bank: Shares of ICICI Bank are likely to be in focus as the private sector lender has raised the minimum balance requirement for its new savings bank accounts opened by five times to ₹50,000.

The minimum monthly account balance (MAB) is the minimum balance that a customer is required to maintain in the bank account. If the balance in the bank account falls below the required amount, then banks levy a penalty.

The minimum monthly average balance (MAB) for savings bank accounts till July 31, 2025, for ICICI Bank customers was ₹10,000. Similarly, MAB for semi-urban locations and rural locations have been increased five times to ₹25,000 and ₹10,000, respectively, according to information available on the ICICI Bank website.

In case account holders fail to meet the MAB, customers will be liable to pay penal charges of 6% of the shortfall in required MAB, or ₹500, whichever is lower.

Bharti Airtel: Indian Continent Investment Ltd, an entity promoted by billionaire Sunil Bharti Mittal & Family, on Friday divested nearly a 1% stake in telecom carrier Bharti Airtel for ₹11,227 crore through open market transactions.

The shares were disposed of in the price range of ₹1,870.40-1,871.95 apiece, taking the combined deal value to ₹11,227.05 crore.

After the latest transaction, ICIL's holding in Bharti Airtel has come down to 1.49% from 2.47%. Also, the holding of promoters has reduced to 50.27% from 51.25%.

HPCL, BPCL, IOC: Shares of oil marketing firms, including Hindustan Petroleum, Bharat Petroleum and Indian Oil Corporation, will be in focus on Monday as the Cabinet approved a ₹30,000-crore compensation package for state-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) to offset losses incurred on the sale of domestic liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in 2024-25.

The amount will be distributed among Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas in 12 tranches, the government said in a statement.

The compensation will help the firms meet crude and LPG procurement needs, service debt and sustain capital expenditure, while ensuring continued availability of clean cooking fuel to households across the country, including those under flagship schemes like Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY).
