Swiggy, Eternal, Jio Financial allure HNI investors even as Nykaa, Premier Energies lose charm

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] In a quarter marked by market jitters, Trump tariff tantrums, and valuation vertigo, India’s high net-worth individuals (HNIs) showed they’re not shy about taking bold bets but they’re also not afraid to pull the plug. Data from Prime Database reveals that HNIs poured over Rs 760 crore into battered Swiggy shares, Rs 248 crore into Eternal (earlier known as Zomato), Rs 342 crore into Jio Financial Services during the March quarter, even as they aggressively exited darlings like Nykaa and Premier Energies. This frenzy of rotation wasn’t without broader implications: the total value of HNI holdings in NSE-listed companies fell by a staggering Rs 1.02 lakh crore, dropping to Rs 8.07 lakh crore as of March 31, 2025, an 11.27% plunge from the previous quarter, according to the data. Their shareholding by value shrank to 1.98% from 2.09% in just three months. The numbers clearly suggest that HNIs used the quarter to book profits and rotate capi...

TCS shares under pressure after weak Q4 results, target price cuts. Should you buy, sell or hold?

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Shares of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on Friday dropped 1% to Rs 3,212.10 on the BSE after the IT major reported a weaker-than-expected Q4 performance. Consolidated net profit for Q4FY25 declined 1.7% year-on-year to Rs 12,224 crore, falling short of the analysts’ estimate of Rs 12,650 crore. In the year-ago quarter, the net profit was Rs 12,434 crore. Revenue from operations rose 5.3% YoY to Rs 64,479 crore, also missing the ET NOW poll estimate of Rs 64,856 crore. Should you buy, sell, or hold TCS' stock? Here's what analysts say: Centrum Centrum upgraded TCS to ‘Buy’ with a revised target price of Rs 4,211 (down from Rs 4,589), valuing the stock at 25x FY27E EPS. While it flagged muted near-term demand due to macro and geopolitical uncertainties and slower client decision-making, it pointed to strong GenAI deal momentum as a key positive. Centrum sees margin tailwinds from better utilisation, pyramid optimisation, automatio...

Trump tariffs rattle markets but Q4 earnings could be the real wrecking ball for Nifty bulls

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Even as Trump’s tariff tantrums dominate headlines, the biggest storm brewing for Dalal Street might not be coming from Washington—but from India Inc’s balance sheets. And unlike policy tweets, poor profits have a longer shelf life. The March quarter earnings season kicks off tomorrow, a market holiday though, with IT bellwether TCS announcing its numbers, and it couldn’t come at a more fragile time. After a nerve-rattling week driven by global fearmongering, Nifty bulls must now contend with the one force that truly steers stock prices—earnings. In the last few days, the market has been making sharp swings on the basis of any news—or even a rumour—around the trajectory of reciprocal tariffs by Trump. But with earnings taking the spotlight, the stage is set for what could be a harsh reality check. Motilal Oswal said the Q4 earnings remained essentially unchanged from previous quarters, with Nifty earnings growth expected at just 2% YoY. K...

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] After a week-long consolidation phase, Indian equity markets saw a sharp downturn, with benchmark indices slipping over 2.5%, dragged primarily by weak global cues and renewed concerns over a trade war.

Back home, the MPC meeting outcome on April 9 will be a major focus, followed by key macroeconomic indicators—IIP and CPI data—due on April 11. Adding to the action, the Q4 earnings season kicks off with IT giant TCS set to announce its results on April 10. STATE OF THE MARKETS GIFT Nifty (Earlier SGX Nifty) signals a gap-down start GIFT Nifty on the NSE IX traded lower by 830.50 points, or 3.62 per cent, at 22,130.50, signaling that Dalal Street was headed for gap-down start on Monday.

Ditch the Accenture Prism. TCS, Infy good bets as FIIs resume shopping

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Accenture’s latest earnings punched a 7% hole in its immediate market value and simultaneously sapped the enthusiasm of investors in Indian IT – the nearly $260-billion globalized industry that has the second-highest Nifty weighting after banking and financials. At first glance, several of the concerns highlighted by the Accenture management seem to equally apply to Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, or HCLTechnologies – local bellwethers that are also the traditional favourites of overseas investors shopping for risk assets in Mumbai. More importantly, uncertainty over a durable – and sanguine - resumption of discretionary expenditure in the US and Europe’s richer neighbourhoods continues to cast an unwelcome shadow over the prospects of the listed Indian technology pureplay, with several brokerages holding out lessons in caution from Accenture’s earnings. While the parallels with Accenture should not be ignored, it is instructive...

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Indian benchmark equity indices traded flat on Wednesday as gains in metal stocks, following the government's recommendation of a temporary tax on certain steel imports, offset losses in IT stocks ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy decision.
