Stocks To Watch On August 1
Stocks to Watch on August 1, 2025: Indian equities ended marginally lower on Thursday after a volatile monthly expiry session, weighed by mixed global cues. In today’s trade, shares of ITC, Swiggy, PB Fintech, JSW Energy and others are likely to remain in focus amid quarterly results and key corporate updates.
ITC, Adani Power, Tata Power, and PC Jeweller will be in the spotlight as the companies are set to announce their first-quarter earnings today.
Adani Enterprises reported a 44.9% year-on-year (YoY) decline in consolidated net profit at Rs 976.48 crore in the June quarter, compared to Rs 1,772.26 crore last year. Revenue from operations also fell 13.96% YoY to Rs 21,916.20 crore from Rs 25,472.40 crore.
Maruti Suzuki India posted a net profit of Rs 3,712 crore for the April-June quarter, up 1.7% YoY, beating Bloomberg’s estimate of Rs 3,076 crore. The earnings beat was largely driven by a sharp increase in other income, which nearly doubled to Rs 1,823 crore from Rs 975 crore a year earlier, even as operating margins slipped and domestic demand remained muted.
Ambuja Cements recorded a 23.1% YoY rise in net profit attributable to owners to Rs 788 crore in Q1 FY26, driven by healthy revenue growth. Total net profit for the quarter came in at Rs 970 crore, a 24% increase YoY, surpassing Bloomberg estimates that had projected a Rs 920 crore loss.
DCB Bank posted a net profit of Rs 157 crore for the June quarter, up 19.8% YoY, despite a sharp increase in provisions. The lender’s net interest income rose 17% to Rs 581 crore, while its net interest margin (NIM) stood at 3.20%, slightly lower than 3.29% in the preceding quarter.
Thermax reported a 39% YoY jump in net profit to Rs 151 crore, even as revenue slipped 2% to Rs 2,150 crore due to delayed customer clearances and execution challenges. The company also booked Rs 56 crore under Maharashtra’s Packaged Incentive Scheme, 2007, during the quarter.
Coal India posted a 20.2% YoY decline in net profit to Rs 8,734.17 crore in Q1 FY26, compared to Rs 10,943.55 crore a year ago. Revenue from operations fell 4.43% YoY to Rs 35,842 crore, indicating a slowdown in performance.
Swiggy reported a wider net loss of Rs 1,197 crore for the June quarter, compared to Rs 611 crore in the same period last year. Revenue, however, surged 53.97% YoY to Rs 4,961 crore. The company attributed the losses to scale-driven growth across verticals, led by its Quick Commerce arm Instamart, while reiterating its focus on long-term profitability.
Dabur India posted a net profit of Rs 508.29 crore in Q1 FY26, up 2.82% from Rs 494.35 crore last year, slightly above market expectations. Revenue from operations rose 1.66% to Rs 3,404.58 crore, while EBITDA stood at Rs 667.8 crore.
PB Fintech, the parent of Policybazaar, reported a 40% YoY increase in net profit to Rs 84.5 crore for the June quarter. Revenue from operations jumped 33.5% YoY to Rs 1,348 crore, supported by strong growth in insurance and lending segments.
Mankind Pharma posted a net profit of Rs 444.6 crore in Q1 FY26, down 18.1% from Rs 543 crore a year ago. Revenue from operations, however, rose 24.5% YoY to Rs 3,570 crore, aided by strong pharmaceutical sales.
