Tata Consumer Products shares jumped around 7% after reporting a better-than-expected Q4, with consolidated net profit up 21% year-on-year. The earnings beat was driven by strong performance in the India-branded business. Brokerages including Morgan Stanley, Motilal Oswal and Elara Capital stayed positive, citing scope for healthy growth, margin expansion and further upside for the FMCG firm.

Manappuram Finance shares slipped around 3% even after reporting strong Q4 FY26 profit, as the market wrestled with how much the gold-loan surge should influence future performance. The company paired results with an interim dividend. Jefferies upgraded the stock to Buy with a higher target, while Morgan Stanley remained cautious despite the upbeat quarter.
The week kicked off on a bright note as easing geopolitical tensions and steady Q4 earnings improved investor sentiment.

Paytm’s selloff deepened following RBI’s cancellation of Paytm Payments Bank licence, pulling total market cap down.
Indian markets ended higher as auto, FMCG, and IT stocks led the move. Strong Q4 earnings powered gains for GRSE, CEAT, and Vedanta, lifting sentiment across sectors.
