Five Interesting Stocks Today - June 20, 2025
By Trendlyne Analysis

1. Schneider Electric Infrastructure:

This heavy electrical equipment manufacturer has risen by 8% in three sessions following Goldman Sachs’ upgrade to a ‘Buy’ rating from 'Sell' with a target of Rs 910 per share. The brokerage projects a strong 31% CAGR in order inflows between FY26-FY28, driven by rising power demand and the need to upgrade India’s distribution infrastructure. It also expects the company’s operating margins to improve by 110 bps to 39.6% by FY32. The report added “We revise the total addressable market upward to $14.5 billion by FY32, from an earlier $9 billion”

On June 11, Schneider Electric partnered with NVIDIA to develop infrastructure for AI applications. They are working on systems for power, cooling, and high-density racks aimed at making data centers more efficient. As part of the effort, they are setting up thirteen AI factories and five AI gigafactories (large-scale facilities) across Europe.

In FY25, the company’s net profit rose 56% to Rs 268 crore. Schneider turned profitable in FY22, with profit growing at a CAGR of 76.5% over FY22–25. Revenue increased 20% during the year, in line with Forecaster estimates. Its order inflows rose 13.4% to Rs 2,690 crore, helped by key wins in advanced transformers, smart switchgear, and solutions for utilities and renewable projects.

The company’s management has announced two major capex projects. It will invest nearly Rs 100 crore at the Vadodara plant to increase the switchgear panel capacity by 75% to 14,000 units by FY27. At the Kolkata plant, a new greenfield facility in Dankuni will receive about Rs 90 crore to expand breaker (electrical safety device) capacity from 5,000 to 45,000 units, also by FY27.

Suparna Bhattacharyya, CFO, commented on the expected gains from the capex, saying, “We are seeing good traction in orders that we want to execute. It will be a staggered but profitable increase, at least at the gross margin level. There may be some depreciation impact early on, but we’re optimistic about revenue growth from these (capex) lines.”

CEO & MD Udai Singh noted that while private sector capex announcements for FY26 are down 10–12%, falling inflation at 3.1% may help revive demand. He added that government schemes like the Rs 76,000 crore production-linked incentive (PLI) for digitalization, along with rising demand for data centers, could further support investment momentum.

2. BEML:

Thiscommercial vehicle manufacturer rose 2% on June 18, after its Chairman and Managing Director, Shantanu Roy,said the company expects to double its order book by the end of FY26. BEML is a state-owned company that builds vehicles and equipment for mining, defence, and metro rail. It also supplies coaches for various metro and rail projects in India.

The company endedFY25 with an order book of Rs 14,610 crore and aims to secure over Rs 14,000 crore in new orders in FY26, taking the total to nearly Rs 28,000 crore. The company expects railway, metro, defence, and aerospace segments to drive this growth. 

InFY25, BEML posted its highest-ever net profit of Rs 292.5 crore, up 3.8%, driven by the execution of high-margin orders in the metro and defence segments. However, revenue fell slightly by 0.8% to Rs 4,022.2 crore due to delays in executing metro and rail orders, especially in Q3. 

Regarding the slow order execution, Roysaid, ”The order execution that we were planning could not happen because of prototype clearance and a waiting period, which is generally 18 to 24 months for the first prototype.” The management plans to speed up execution in FY26 as key metro and Vande Bharat projects progress. It expects a 20% revenue increase in FY26, supported by a strong order pipeline.

Commenting on the future plans, Roysaid, “The next big thing we are working on is the high-speed train, the bullet train, which should be a game changer for the country. It's a collaborative effort of the Indian Railways, National Highspeed Rail Corporation, and BEML.” The company is developing a prototype for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train and aims to begin trials by December 2026.

BEML is alsobidding for the Rs 30,000-40,000 crore Vande Metro project in Mumbai, and plans to launch Vande Bharat Sleeper prototypes this year. On June 9, itsigned agreements with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to build three defence mobility platforms, including support systems for Arjun tanks.

Elara Securities hasreiterated its ‘Accumulate’ rating on BEML, citing strong order visibility, 20% revenue growth guidance for FY26, and robust metro and defence prospects, with a target price of Rs 4,860.

3. RHI Magnesita India:

This refractory producer surged over 3% on June 16 after Axis Securities reiterated its ‘Buy’ rating with a target price of Rs 550 over the next three to six months. The brokerage believes that RHI Magnesita is well-positioned to benefit from rising demand, thanks to its leadership in the Indian refractory market, where it holds a 30% share. India is currently the fastest-growing refractory market globally, with a projected 6-8% CAGR through FY30.

FY25 performance was slightly below expectations however, with annual revenue declining marginally, and missing Forecaster estimates by 1.6% due to heightened competition and rising input costs. Net profit came in 9% below estimates as EBITDA margins fell by 100 bps, weighed down by pressure on realisation rates, higher raw material prices, and increased employee expenses.

The company has earmarked Rs 150 crore in capex for FY26. According to CFO Azim Syed, a significant portion of this investment will go toward acquiring modern presses, which are expected to lower manpower costs once commissioned over the next 12 to 14 months. He also highlighted that net debt was reduced by 53%, ending FY25 at Rs 146 crore.

MD and CEO Pramod Sagar says, “Medium-term demand fundamentals remain intact, with domestic steel capacity poised to expand and infrastructure-led cement demand expected to recover in FY26.” RHI’s high-grade refractory products are used in high-temperature industrial processes of over 1,200°C across sectors like steel, cement, and glass. He also stated that the company is selectively raising prices to offset cost increases and expects EBITDA margins to reach 15% by Q2 FY26 from 13.7% currently.

While Axis Securities sees strong medium-term potential, it flags short-term risks such as elevated input costs and intensified competition. The brokerage projects a sales CAGR of 13% and net profit CAGR of 30% over FY26–27. The company appears in the screener of stocks where FIIs and mutual funds have increased their stake over the past quarter.

4. Siemens:

Thisheavy electrical equipment company rose 3% on June 17 after receiving a Rs 1,230 crore order from the National High-Speed Rail Corporation (NHSRCL). The order includes developing a signalling and telecommunication system for the Mumbai–Ahmedabad high-speed rail project.

Siemens operates in the industrial automation, mobility, and infrastructure sectors. In line with parent company Siemens AG’s restructuring plan, the Indian arm announced the demerger of its energy business (Siemens Energy) on May 14, 2024, to focus on power generation equipment, transmission systems, and renewable energy.

Sunil Mathur, MD and CEO,said, “The two businesses operate in very different markets and need different types of investment. The demerger allows both companies to focus on their core areas, use resources more efficiently, and helps us work towards doubling Siemens’ order book in five years.”

InQ2FY25 (In fiscal year of Oct to Sept), Siemens' revenue declined 2.5% YoY to Rs 4,259 crore, following weaker demand in its factory automation and industrial control systems business. Meanwhile, its order book rose 7.2% to Rs 41,460 crore. Mathursaid, “The industrial automation and mobility segments faced weak demand due to sluggish private capex, and fewer large projects were executed and billed, which impacted revenue and profitability.”

Siemens plans to invest Rs 1,100 crore over the next two to three years to expand its main businesses. It aims to increase export revenue share from 12% to 20% over the next three to five years.

Management is optimistic about the mobility segment in H2FY25. Mathursaid, “We expect stronger revenue and volume, driven by project deliveries of the 9,000 horsepower locomotive, and aim to scale production from 5 to 100 units annually by FY27.”

Prabhudas Lilladhermaintains an ‘Accumulate’ rating on Siemens with a target price of Rs 3,497. The brokerage expects large orders from Indian Railways, metro projects, and growth in public capital expenditure to drive long-term growth in the mobility and smart infrastructure segments. They believe the demerger of the energy business will help Siemens focus on core verticals and improve capital allocation.

5. Oil India (OIL):

This exploration & production company rose by 5.1% on June 12 as it signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Cochin Port Authority to establish a support base for offshore oil exploration in the Kerala-Konkan Basin. In a recent interview, India’s Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Hardeep Singh Puri, highlighted key reforms in exploration policy. He pointed out that India has transitioned from a production-sharing to a revenue-sharing model. Puri believes that oil discoveries and regulatory simplification could drive a significant leap in the country's economic growth. He believes that India is on the brink of a ‘Guyana-sized’ oil discovery in the Andaman Sea.

The company reported a 1.1% rise in revenue with a net profit jump of 3.4% in FY25 due to growth in natural gas & pipeline transportation revenue. It marginally missed the Forecaster net profit estimate by 1.2%, led by a decline in crude oil segment revenue and high volatility in crude oil prices. The company appears in a screener of stocks with strong momentum.

Debojeet Hazarika - GM Finance at OIL, stated, “Our capex for FY25 was Rs 8,467 crore. Around 80% of the capex was allocated to upstream (finding and extracting), while the remaining went into midstream (transportation & storage) and downstream (refining & distribution). FY26 remains broadly similar, with an emphasis on exploration, development drilling, and strategic downstream growth. Additionally, a planned capex of Rs 9,133 crore has been earmarked for Numaligarh refinery in FY26.”

Avendus Spark has initiated a ‘Buy’ rating on OIL with a target price of Rs 630, citing strong production visibility and capacity expansion as key positives, despite recent corrections in oil prices. It highlights “high-octane growth at low valuation” with over 80% earnings growth potential in three years, which it considers a rarity in the sector. Growth is expected to be volume-driven, supported by a threefold increase in Numaligarh refinery capacity and steady upstream output.

No one wants the news to be too interesting. But that's what has happened in 2025. After Trump's tariffs came the India-Pakistan conflict, and now it's the Iran-Israel war. It’s been a year where one should ask: "Who needs Netflix?" Just refresh the news page.

Everyone praises the patient, long-term investor. And sure, patience may be a virtue, but these days it’s being tested everyday. 

How are the world’s major indices holding up in the storm? Trendlyne’s global indices dashboard has the answers, and we take a closer look.  

In this week’s Analyticks,

  • Markets versus global shocks: A performance check of global indices
  • Screener: Stocks beating the Nifty 50 and their sectors over the past quarter and year

Global indices: 2025's winners and losers

Only three major indices have posted gains so far in 2025: Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index, followed by Germany’s DAX and the UK’s FTSE 100

The Taiwan Weighted Index, 2024’s top performer, has tumbled to the bottom, hit by a cooling AI-tech boom and worries over US tariffs targeting semiconductors.

Only Hang Seng and DAX post double-digit gains in the past six months

Nifty 500 and Nasdaq 100 bounced back with double-digit gains over the past quarter. But despite the recent recovery, both indices have been flat overall in 2025 due to a weak start to the year.

India’s Nifty 500 is the top performer over five years, with the Nasdaq 100 in the second spot. The Hang Seng, FTSE 100, and Shanghai Composite lag over the same time period.

Despite continued global upheaval, indices recovered in the past quarter. The top stock gainers in the respective indices indicate that tech was the top performer for the US, while energy, pharma, and industrials won elsewhere. 

Top-performing stocks across global indices in the past quarter

Palantir Tech, a major US tech player in defence, national security and healthcare, was the top S&P 500 performer in 2024 and has extended its momentum in 2025.

Garden Reach Shipbuilders is the Nifty 500’s best performer in the past quarter. This aerospace and defence company is rising after strong Q4 results

Rising oil prices keep central bankers on their toes

Most central banks started easing rates last year, after rate hikes to tackle record inflation in 2022. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) initially held back but joined the rate-cutting cycle in 2025.


RBI and ECB cut rates in 2025; US Fed hits pause

Under the new RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra, who took office in December, the central bank has moved quickly to boost growth, and has cut rates by a whole percentage point.

The US Fed, in contrast, has been more cautious in 2025, holding rates steady amid the uncertainty around Trump tariffs. Analysts project two rate cuts of 25 basis points this year, with the first likely in September. But this is far from guaranteed.

Now, the Israel–Iran conflict has oil prices surging. Brent crude jumped 10–13% since the first attack by Israel, briefly hitting $78 per barrel. Any instability in the Strait of Hormuz—which Iran controls, and which handles around 20% of global crude oil shipments—could send energy prices past $100, complicating central banks' efforts to reduce inflation.

According to the Fed’s model, a $10 increase in oil prices is expected to increase US inflation by 0.4% and lower GDP by 0.4%.

What’s driving equity markets in India and the US?

The Nifty 50 has recovered in the past quarter, hovering around the 25,000 mark again, thanks to better-than-expected Q4 results. Sectors like general industrials, realty, transportation, and commercial services and supplies stole the spotlight.

General Industrials emerges as the star sector in the past quarter

The top four contributors in the general industrials sector are from the defence industry: Hindustan Aeronautics, Bharat Electronics, Solar Industries, and Bharat Dynamics. As the Indian government focused on national security, it boosted spending on domestic defence equipment and product manufacturing.

Real estate stocks rallied in the last quarter, led by DLF, as Indians aspired to luxury apartments that come with fancy flooring, big balconies, and giant gyms that will be rarely used. Analysts point to easing interest rates as a key driver for rising home purchases.

Transportation stocks jumped on falling crude oil prices, though the recent spike in oil may pose risks ahead. Meanwhile, commercial services and supplies continued their upward trend, emerging as one of the top-performing sectors over the past year.

Commercial services and consumer durables are the star segments in the US

In the past quarter, strong consumer demand, falling interest rates, and solid earnings from retail giants have boosted commercial services and consumer durables in the US.

Visa and Mastercard led gains in commercial services, helped by rising digital transactions and strong financials. In consumer durables, lower borrowing costs and a retail recovery drove demand.

Commercial services & supplies: Top-performing sector in the past quarter

In hardware tech, Nvidia and Broadcom jumped on AI and hardware momentum, while Tesla lifted the auto sector with strong deliveries and renewed investor confidence, after Elon Musk departed from the US government and cut down on his late-night posting on X.


Screener: Stocks outperforming the Nifty 50 and their sectors over the past quarter and year

Banking, general industrials rise the most in the past quarter and year

With global markets in turmoil after the rising tensions between Iran and Israel, we look at stocks that have outperformed the benchmark Nifty 50 index and their sectors. This screener shows stocks that have outperformed the Nifty 50 and their respective sectors over the past year and quarter. 

The screener is dominated by stocks from the banking & finance, general industrials, software & services, realty, and pharmaceuticals & biotechnology sectors. Major stocks in the screener are Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers, BSE, Intellect Design Arena, Valor Estate, Reliance Power, Authum Investment, Multi Commodity Exchange, and GE Vernova T&D India

Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers’ stock price has surged 143.3% and 94.6% over the past quarter and year. This aerospace & defence company’s Q4FY25 net profit and revenue jumped 118.9% and 60.9% YoY, respectively. Inventory destocking, lower purchase of products for resale, sub-contracting, and finance costs helped increase net profit, while improvement in order execution drove revenue growth. The company also won multiple contracts from India and overseas, including an order reportedly worth Rs 25,000 crore to supply eight Next Generation Corvettes (NGC) for the Indian Navy.

Intellect Design Arena also features in the screener after its stock price rose 93.4% and 16.1% over the past quarter and year, respectively. This IT software products company’s revenue and net profit jumped 18.7% and 85.4% YoY during Q4FY25. Improvements in collections and the license, platform and asset management company (AMC) segments helped revenue growth. The company secured nine new customer wins for its digital transformation journey and achieved 16 product implementations for global financial institutions.

The Gujarati phrase Bhav Bhagwan Che — Price is God — has echoed louder than ever in recent months. Since hitting a year-to-date low of 21,760 on April 7, the Nifty 50 has surged 14.2% and now hovers near the 25,000 mark. Riding this rally, promoters have wasted no time offloading stakes through a flurry of bulk and block deals.

Generally, high promoter and institutional shareholding signals investor confidence in a company. So retail investors usually see stake sales as a red flag, but they aren’t always negative. Promoters and institutions often sell shares to raise funds for expansion, meet public shareholding norms, reduce debt, adjust family holdings, or book profits.

In FY25, Nifty 500 companies recorded a profit-to-GDP growth of 4.7%, the highest in 17 years. Strong March quarter results helped the Nifty50 rise 11.3% over the last three months, outperforming global peers despite geopolitical and trade risks.

Amid these gains, promoters and institutional investors have sold large stakes through block and bulk deals. Promoters sold shares worth over Rs 57,720 crore in just the past month—this is higher than the Rs 37,100 crore sold by institutional investors. So far in 2025, promoters have offloaded shares worth Rs 71,000 crore.

Amit Ramchandani, CEO of Motilal Oswal Investment Banking, said,  “Valuations have risen over the past month, so sales of shares by promoters and Private Equity (PEs) could continue at this pace until the end of June. The window to sell is not very large because the results season will begin. The geopolitical situation could also worsen.

In this Chart of the Week, we analyse these stake sales through block and bulk deals over the past month, and the reasons behind them.

According to a Trendlyne screener that tracks bulk and block deals of promoters and institutional investors in Nifty500 firms, 29 companies have witnessed significant deals over the past month. Major names include Jubilant Pharmova, Bharti Airtel, InterGlobe Aviation, Asian Paints, Aptus Value Housing, and KFIN Technologies.

Rising valuations, changing priorities: promoters sell stakes

Promoters’ shareholding in the Nifty 500 reached a record low of 49.5% in FY25, down from 52.1% in FY15, due to high valuations, increased participation from domestic institutional investors (DIIs), retail investors, and regulatory requirements. 

Over the past month, promoters reduced stakes in sectors such as infrastructure, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and financial services, driven by regulatory policies, investment requirements, and profit booking across stocks including JSW Infrastructure, PG Electroplast, KPR Mill, Suzlon Energy, and Bajaj Finserv.

JSW Infrastructure’s promoter entity, Sajjan Jindal Family Trust, sold a 2% stake worth Rs 1,210 crore on May 17 to meet SEBI’s minimum public shareholding requirement of 75%. The company plans to use the proceeds to support its Rs 39,000 crore investment to expand port operations and its logistics network over the next five years. 

Post-deal, promoter holding decreased to 83.6%. The JSW management has planned to reduce promoter shareholding below 75% by September 2026.

Since its October 2023 listing, JSW Infrastructure shares have soared 154.1%, driven by a five-year revenue CAGR of 31.3% and profit growth of 50.5%, as the company scaled up cargo volumes and expanded its port and logistics operations.

PG Electroplast promoters sold a 5.6% stake worth Rs 1,177 crore on May 27, reducing their holding to 43.8%. The stake sale took place on the same day the company was announced for inclusion in the NSE’s Futures and Options (F&O) segment, effective June 27.

For FY26, the company targets a 30–35% increase in revenue, driven by demand across key categories like air conditioners and washing machines.

Vikas Gupta, Managing Director, said, “We expect the air conditioner segment to contribute around Rs 4,000 crore in FY26, up from Rs 3,000 crore last year. We’ve planned a capex of Rs 800–900 crore for setting up new plants and expanding our air conditioner business. Over the next three years, we’re targeting a CAGR of 35%.”

Similarly, on June 5, Bajaj Finserv's promoter group–Jamnalal Sons and Bajaj Holdings—offloaded a 1.9%  stake worth Rs 5,828 crore via a block deal.

Jubilant backs beverage bet, Reliance unlocks value in paints

Conglomerates trimmed stakes in speciality chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and paints industries to realign priorities and support diversification. Jubilant Bhartia Group reduced holdings across three stocks, while Reliance Industries cut its long-term stake in Asian Paints

Jubilant Bhartia Group, the promoters of Jubilant FoodWorks, Jubilant Pharmova, and Jubilant Ingrevia, offloaded minority stakes in all three listed companies to raise Rs 2,000 for acquiring a 40% stake in Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages (HCCB).

In December 2024, the group decided to acquire the stake in HCCB for Rs 12,500 crore and planned to fund it through Rs 5,650 crore in Non-Convertible Debentures, stake sales, and internal accruals.

On July 13, the promoters sold a combined 10.2% stake across the three companies. Post the deal, their holding fell to 40.3% in Jubilant FoodWorks, 45.2% in Jubilant Pharmova, and 48.1% in Jubilant Ingrevia.

Asian Paintsholds a 52% share of the paint market and saw a large block deal on June 12 and 16 after Reliance Industries, through Siddhant Commercials, sold a 4.4% stake worth Rs 9,580 crore. Following the deal, Reliance’s stake decreased to 1.3%.

Reliance had acquired a 4.9% stake in Asian Paints for Rs 500 crore in January 2008. Seventeen years later, the investment has delivered a 1,440% return. However, over the past year, Asian Paints’ share price has declined 22.5% due to a drop in revenue and profit in FY25.

Analysts at Morgan Stanley note that Asian Paints has lost market share from 59% to 52% over the past year, and they expect the decline to continue over the next three years. New entrants like JSW Paints are poaching customers,  and this trend is unlikely to change in the coming years.

Promoters cash out after strong gains

Promoters of three large-cap stocks—InterGlobe Aviation, Bharti Airtel, and ITC—executed block deals worth over 37,500 crore in the past month to rebalance portfolios, reduce debt, capitalise on valuation gains, and fund long-term strategies. 

Telecom player Bharti Airtel recorded a 1.2% stake sale by its promoter Singtel via a block deal on May 16 for Rs 13,221 crore. Singtel’s holding fell to 28.3% after the transaction. Trendlyne data shows Bharti Airtel's promoter holding has decreased by 14.3% over the past decade, while the stock has gained 341.8% in the same period.

Meanwhile, InterGlobe Aviation (IndiGo) co-founder and promoter Rakesh Gangwal, through the family trust, sold a 5.7% equity stake worth over Rs 11,385 crore. The sale reduced the Gangwal-backed promoter group’s holding to 7.8%, down from 36.7% in 2019. Over the past three years, Gangwal has raised Rs 40,000 crore through stake sales.

The saga between co-founders Rahul Bhatia and Rakesh Gangwal began in 2019 when Gangwal formally raised concerns over corporate governance. In February 2022, Gangwal resigned from IndiGo’s board as a non-executive, non-independent director and announced plans to reduce his stake.

Rakesh Gangwal had said, “I have been a long-term investor in IndiGo and plan to gradually reduce my equity stake over the next five-plus years.”

ITC’s institutional shareholder, British American Tobacco (BAT), divested a 2.5% stake worth Rs 12,926 crore on May 28, bringing its holding down to 23.1%. BAT sold the stake to reduce its debt and support its share buyback program. The transaction reduced the overall institutional holding in ITC to 82.6%.

Five stocks to buy from analysts this week - June 17, 2025
By Omkar Chitnis

1. Tata Consumer Products:

Motilal Oswal reiterates its ‘Buy’ rating on this tea & coffee company with a target price of Rs 1,360, a 26.9% upside. Analysts Sumant Kumar, Meet Jain, and others highlight the company’s focus on growing its new businesses while maintaining core operations strength. Tata Consumer’s market share rose by 30 bps in FY25, helped by growth in the salt business. Its tea segment now holds a 20% market share, boosted by new product launches and strategic pricing.

Tata Consumer has rapidly expanded its direct reach to around 20 lakh outlets by FY25, with total distribution rising to about 44 lakh outlets—this is more than double the FY21 level. The company introduced split salesman routes (smaller areas assigned to each salesperson) across metros and towns with populations over 5 lakh to improve execution and coverage in large cities.

Kumar and Jain highlighted that the company is unlocking value through acquisitions. Its recent buys, Capital Foods and Organic India, reported strong growth of 19% in FY25, with combined revenue reaching Rs 1,170 crore and a healthy gross margin of 49%.

Analysts expect Tata Consumer’s revenue to grow by 8% and net profit by 20% over FY26–27. This growth is expected to be driven by newer businesses like Tata Sampann, Tata Soulfull, and ready-to-eat products, along with a focus on core brands and an expanding distribution network.

2. Insecticides (India):

Axis Direct initiates coverage on this agrochemical company with a ‘Buy’ rating and a target price of Rs 955, a 4.9% upside. Analysts Sani Vishe and Shivani More note that the company’s focus on premium products is driving both revenue and profitability. Its shift toward high-margin brands such as Maharatna and Focus Maharatna lifted the EBITDA margin by 281 bps to 11.1% in FY25.

The management aims to achieve double-digit revenue growth in FY26, driven by premium products, new launches, and higher rural demand. Analysts expect the company’s diversification into higher-margin products, supported by steady demand from the rabi season and an early start for kharif, to drive strong demand for its products.

In FY25, the company launched 12 new products and plans to launch six more in FY26. With a strong pipeline of launches and healthy rural demand, the analysts expect robust revenue growth and margin expansion in the near term. They estimate revenue and net profit to grow by 9% and 14%, respectively, over FY26–27.

3. AU Small Finance Bank:

Sharekhan maintains a ‘Buy’ rating on this bank with an upgraded target price of Rs 900, a 16.4% upside. The management expects net interest margins (NIMs) to remain under pressure in the near term due to lower repo rates, since 30% of its loan book is on floating rates. The bank cut its savings account rates by 25 bps each in April and June 2025 to manage costs, with the peak rate now at 6.75%.

AU SFB expects profitability to improve from H2FY26, supported by a likely cut in policy rates and falling credit costs (loan repayment losses), particularly in the unsecured segment. The management believes this should help ease margin pressures. Additionally, lower non-performing assets (NPAs), along with a majority fixed-rate loan book (~70%), are expected to support margins, though with a time lag.

Analysts expect the bank’s return on assets (RoA) to improve by 20–30 bps over FY26–27, from 1.5% in FY25, driven by lower loan losses and slightly better NIMs.

4. Tata Power Company:

Geojit BNP Paribas maintains a ‘Buy’ rating on this electric utility company with a target price of Rs 468, a 18.2% upside. In FY25, the company’s revenue rose 6.5% to Rs 65,478 crore, driven by strong growth in renewables and the distribution segment. Net profit grew 7.4% during the year.

The management aims to increase net profit 2.5 times by FY30 compared to FY24. The company has planned a capital expenditure of Rs 1.5 lakh crore by FY30, with 60% allocated to renewables and the rest to transmission and distribution, and pumped storage businesses. Praveer Sinha, CEO and MD, said, “For FY26, we have planned a capex of Rs 25,000 crore, with half of it allocated to renewables. In FY25, we added 2.3 GW (gigawatt) capacity and aim to add 2.5 - 2.7 GW this year.”

Analysts expect Tata Power’s investments in renewable and power transmission businesses to play a crucial role in long-term earnings growth. They estimate revenue to grow by 12% over FY26–27.

5. Shree Cements:

ICICI Securities maintains a ‘Buy’ rating on this cement company with a target price of Rs 35,330, a 19.2% upside. But in FY25, the company’s revenue declined by 5.9% to Rs 19,872 crore due to weak cement prices. Net profit dropped 53.1% due to higher raw material costs and logistics expenses.

Analysts Navin Sahadeo and Amit Gupta note the company’s focus on price hikes over volume growth. The price gap with peers in North India has narrowed to Rs 20–25 per bag, down from Rs 30–35. They believe this will support better realisations and margin improvement.

For FY26, the management targets 2–3% volume growth and expects EBITDA per tonne to remain at Rs 1,400, up from the FY25 average of Rs 1,070. They aim to increase their selling price per tonne by 6%. Analysts believe a price rise will help cover the impact of slow volume growth, and expect revenue growth of 9% in FY26.

Shree Cements plans to commission two 3 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) clinker units (partially processed cement units) in Karnataka and Rajasthan in FY26. It also aims to expand total cement capacity to 80 MTPA by FY30 from the current 62.8 MTPA.

By Omkar Chitnis

When foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) buy or reduce stakes, the ground moves under India’s stock market. Their large-figure decisions often trigger sharp stock reactions.

In recent quarters, FII flows have been unpredictable as India’s union election, the US presidential race, geopolitical tensions, and tariff worries kept Indian equity markets volatile. FII money tends to be hot money, and as news headlines shifted, the mood among FIIs yo-yoed between bullish and bearish.

FIIs hold 18.8% of Indian equities. They sold stocks worth Rs 2.5 lakh crore over the past year due to higher US bond yields and valuations which gave them better returns. Despite FII selling, the Nifty 50 gained nearly 6.3% over the year, helped by strong domestic institutional inflows and better-than-expected corporate earnings in Q3 and Q4.

FIIs have reduced their exposure to cyclical sectors, such as Oil & Gas, Cement, and Information Technology. They increased their stake in domestic growth-oriented sectors such as Banking and Finance, Capital Goods, and Automobiles, including companies like GE Vernova T&D, Home First Finance, Voltas, and Transformers & Rectifiers.

Vinit Bolinjkar, Head of Equity Research at Ventura Securities, said, “FPIs have sold significantly over the last few months, but this has been completely absorbed by DIIs despite low participation from retail investors. With the market rallying sharply from the March lows, we won’t be completely dependent on global flows only. This will give more confidence to domestic investors.”

In this edition of Chart of the Week, we will analyse the top sectors and stocks with the highest increase in FII holdings over the past year.

FIIs chase banking and finance on strong earnings, low valuations

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) invested Rs 78,086 crore inBanking and Finance over the past year, accounting for nearly half of the total Rs 1.6 lakh croreinflows. This investment helped theNifty Financial Services Index climb 18.4%.

Improved asset quality and strong earnings in each quarter of FY25, along with valuations below the 5-year average of 20.6x, and expectations of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) rate cuts, strengthened FII interest in the Banking and Finance sector.

Consequently, FIIs increased stakes in companies with stable net profit and asset quality, such as Aptus Value Housing Finance, Home First Finance, Nuvama Wealth Management, and KFIN Technologies.

Aptus Value Housing Finance saw its FII holding rise by 8.2 percentage points to 27.7% in March 2025. Over the past five years, the company’s revenue grew at a CAGR of 28% and a net profit CAGR of 28.9%. It maintained a stable operating margin of 82.2%, supported by rising loan disbursements and assets under management (AUM). The stock trades at a reasonable valuation based on its five-year price-to-earnings.

Nuvama Wealth Management saw its FII stake rise by 9.6 percentage points to 16.6% in FY25 after promoters sold part of their holding. The NBFCimproved its return on equity (RoE) by 15.2 percentage points to 31.5% over the past five years, driven by better asset quality and growth in its capital markets and wealth management segments. These factors lifted its share price by 39.3% over the past year.

Pharmaceuticals gain traction post surprise outperformance in H1FY25 results

The Nifty Pharma index gained 10.7% over the past year, outperforming the benchmark Nifty 50 by 3.2 percentage points. The defensive sector, Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology, attracted Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) investments totaling Rs 16,089 crore since May 2024.

The government’s Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) incentives for drug intermediates helped companies improve margins and expand capacity. Strong domestic sales and exports drove pharmaceutical firms to exceed revenue and profit estimates in H1FY25. The shifting supply chain from China to India prompted FIIs to raise their holdings by up to 7.2% in companies such as  J B Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals, Lupin, Gland Pharma, and Divi’s Laboratories over the past year.

J B Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals saw its share price rise 130% over the past three years. During the same period, revenue grew at a CAGR of 17.1%, driven by growth in the domestic formulation business and Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisation (CDMO) segment, supported by a healthy order book and new project wins. FIIs increased their stake in the company by 7.2 percentage points to 18.3% over the past year.

On the company’s growth plans for the CDMO segment, Nikhil Chopra, CEO, said, “We plan to double our CDMO business to $100 million over the next four years from the current $50 million, which accounts for 12% of our total revenue.”

Divi’s Laboratories’ stock hit an all-time high of Rs 6,764 on May 26 after strong Q4FY25 results. Over the past year, FIIs increased their holdings by 3.3 percentage points to 18%, fueled by growth in the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) segment and improved profit margins. The stock gained 45.7% during the same period.

The company earns 88% of its revenue from international markets. The management expects revenue from the custom synthesis and APIs segment to grow steadily by around 15–18% in FY26. To boost exports, it plans to invest up to Rs 700 crore to expand its custom synthesis capacity.

The government's infrastructure push draws FIIs to capital goods

The Indian government’spush for infrastructure development and utility modernisation has benefited thecapital goods sector. Rising public and private order books have boosted companies likeGE Vernova T&D India,Transformers & Rectifiers,Inox Wind, andThermax. As the global supply chain is shifting away from China, these manufacturers are seeing a surge in export orders.

GE Vernova T&D’s share price rose 44.3% over the past year, driven by strong demand from PSU clients, and doubled its order book to over Rs 12,600 crore in FY25. FIIs increased their stake by 11.8 percentage points during the year.

The company aims to increase international business to 30% of revenue by FY27 and plans to invest Rs 140 crore to expand manufacturing capacity for its High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) systems.

On the growing order book from the energy sector, Vice President Johan Bindele said, “Our order backlog has tripled over the past year, driven by strong demand for transformers, switchgear, and grid technologies.”

Inox Wind holds a 15% market share in the wind turbine manufacturing industry and saw its share price rise 18.6% in the past year. After seven years, the company became profitable in FY25 by shifting to high-margin 3 MW and 4 MW turbine production and expanded its market reach in the renewable energy industry.

In July 2024, the promoter infused Rs 900 crore to improve operational flexibility and expand manufacturing capacity. The capital supported operations and raised the order book by 21% to Rs 3,203 crore in FY25. FIIs raised their stake by 6.2 percentage points to 15.7% in FY25.

Shifting consumer habits attract FII investments in consumer durables

The Consumer Durables sector is experiencing strong growth, driven by rising incomes, urbanisation, and shifting preferences toward branded, technologically advanced products. Favourable monsoons and growing rural demand also boost sales for companies like Voltas, Whirlpool, RR Kabel, and Dixon Technologies. Additionally, government incentives, including the PLI scheme, are helping companies improve margins and support capacity expansion.

Voltas holds a 19% market share in the room air conditioner industry. Over three years, revenue grew at a 24.7% CAGR and profit by 18.6%, driven by strong sales and a better product mix.

In-room air conditioners and air cooler business accounts for 73% of Voltas' total revenue. In Q4FY25, revenue from this segment grew 200 basis points, outperforming its peer Blue Star, driven by higher orders from international markets like the UAE and Saudi Arabia. In FY25, FIIs increased their stake by 7.3 percentage points to 22%.

To boost local manufacturing of air conditioner components, the government introduced the PLI scheme with an investment of Rs 6,238 crore in FY22. In addition, the company is investing  Rs 450 crore to increase its compressor production capacity to 2 million units by FY27 and expand its distribution network in South and West India. 

Dixon Technologies holds a 60% share in the mobile Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) market. The company manufactures eight of the top ten global smartphone brands. It has benefited from five PLI schemes in mobile phones, telecom equipment, and lighting product manufacturing. The ongoing global tariff war and the China+1 strategy have positioned Dixon Tech as a viable alternative for mobile phone manufacturers.

The company invested Rs 600 crore in backward integration, which boosted its net profit margin to 3.1% in FY25, and FII's stake in the company rose by 3.9 percentage points to 21.8%.

Dixon plans to increase phone manufacturing capacity to 60 million units by 2027, up from 45 million in FY25, driven by rising orders from new and existing clients. Saurabh Gupta, Chief Financial Officer, said, “We expect 40–45% revenue growth this year, supported by operational efficiencies, backward integration, and a higher contribution from our refrigerator business, which should expand margins by 20–25 basis points. We also plan to scale up IT hardware production in FY26 and display module manufacturing in FY27.”
