Indian Market Outlook: Stocks in the Spotlight

Published March 8, 2024

Heading into Thursday's trading session, indicators from the GIFT Nifty suggest a buoyant start for Indian equity markets, with benchmark indices BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50 poised for gains. Investors are advised to keep a close eye on several stocks that may exhibit significant activity in the wake of positive signals.

Key Stocks to Watch

Vedanta Resources Limited VEDL, a global diversified metals and mining company, has often been a key mover in the market, and investors will be paying close attention to its shares. In the aerospace and defence sector, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited HAL could also see heightened interest based on recent developments and orders.

Infosys Limited INFY, a giant in the information technology space, is likely to be on investor radars, especially following any major announcements or earnings reports that could sway its stock price. Within the consumer goods space, United Spirits Limited MCDOWELL-N, known for its portfolio of beverages, is another stock that market players are keeping an eye on for potential volatility or growth prospects.

The online food delivery company Zomato Limited ZOMATO has been a topic of interest since its IPO and continues to attract investor attention due to the company's performance and the competitive landscape. In the finance sector, Bajaj Finserv Limited BAJAJFINSV is slated to be on investors' watchlists, given its diverse operations in insurance, lending, and asset management that could significantly impact its share performance.

In the automotive industry, Mahindra & Mahindra Limited M&M, with its wide range of vehicles and forays into electric transportation, could steer investor focus. Another intriguing contender in the market is Mukka Proteins Limited MUKKA, whose role in the food and agricultural sector could lead to pivotal movements in its stock.

Market's Opening Sentiment

The GIFT Nifty's trading up by 64 points or 0.28% at 22,655 provides an indicator that the domestic indices such as NSE Nifty are likely to witness a favorable start. These key stocks, among others, will be under the scanner as market participants gauge the direction of the Indian stock market amidst both domestic and global economic cues.
