Stocks to Watch: Tata Motors PV, Adani Enterprises, JSW Steel, Bharti Airtel, among other stock in focus today - 15 May

Indian benchmark indices extended gains for a second straight session on Thursday, 14 May, with the Sensex surging nearly 790 points amid volatile trading, led by buying in telecom, pharma, and private banking stocks.

The Sensex advanced 789.74 points, or 1.06%, to close at 75,398.72. After opening higher and briefly slipping into negative territory during late morning trade, the index rebounded sharply on value buying, touching an intraday high of 75,681.88.

The Nifty 50 climbed 277 points, or 1.18%, to settle at 23,689.60, extending its rally for the second consecutive day.

Among the companies in the Sensex index, Bharti Airtel stood out as the leading gainer, soaring over 5% after the telecom giant announced its annual revenue had surpassed the ₹2 lakh crore mark for the first time.

This surge contributed nearly ₹6.82 lakh crore to the market capitalisation of firms listed on the BSE during the last two trading sessions, bringing the overall market value to ₹462.85 lakh crore (approximately USD 4.83 trillion).

At the same time, wholesale price inflation reached a 42-month high of 8.3%, up from 3.88% in March and 0.85% a year prior, primarily due to rising energy costs amid disruptions related to the conflict in West Asia.

In today’s trading session, shares of Adani Enterprises, Tata Motors PV, Tata Steel, Jio Financial, and ITC Hotels, among others, will be in focus due to various news updates.

Power Grid, Tata Steel, SAIL, Hindustan Copper, Cochin Shipyard, Premier Energies, Godfrey Phillips, and ITC Hotels will be in the spotlight as these companies prepare to release their fourth-quarter results.
