· LiveMint Markets
Ahead of Diwali 2026 Muhurat trading, analyst Ravi Singh identifies Aurobindo Pharma, Balkrishna Industries and Mahindra & Mahindra as stocks to consider for Samvat 2083.
The analysis
Against that, the stock is +0.8% on the day at ₹1,800.00, and has returned +13.3% over three months. It is trading close to its 52-week high, so expectations were already elevated going in. The pharma & healthcare sector has moved +1.4% over the same period, so Aurobindo Pharma is running 11.9 points ahead of its peers.
For Aurobindo Pharma, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the pharma & healthcare peer set alongside it.
Why it matters
- Buybacks, dividends and splits change what a shareholder actually receives, and often signal how management reads its own value.
Market context
- The 3 companies named span 2 sectors, so these are separate company stories rather than one sector-wide move.
- On the day, 3 of 3 are higher: Mahindra & Mahindra leads at +5.1% and Balkrishna Industries trails at +0.3%.
- Over three months: Aurobindo Pharma +13.3% against Pharma & Healthcare +1.4% (11.9 points ahead); Balkrishna Industries -2.3% against Auto -6.3% (4.0 points ahead); Mahindra & Mahindra -3.5% against Auto -6.3% (2.8 points ahead).
- Trading well above normal today: Mahindra & Mahindra at 3.0 times its 20-day average volume.
