ITC is in focus.
· NDTV Profit
On BSE,ITC, HDFC Bank and Adani Ports were among the top gainers, while Power Grid, TCS and Eternal were among the top laggards.
The analysis
ITC reported movement of 3%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is +2.5% on the day at ₹280.80, and has returned -4.6% over three months. It sits 32% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The fmcg sector has moved -7.7% over the same period, so ITC is running 3.1 points ahead of its peers.
For ITC, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the fmcg peer set alongside it.
Why it matters
- With BSE involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
Market context
- The 5 companies named span 5 sectors, so these are separate company stories rather than one sector-wide move.
- On the day, 3 of 5 are higher: ITC leads at +2.5% and Tata Consultancy (TCS) trails at -1.7%.
- Over three months: ITC -4.6% against FMCG -7.7% (3.1 points ahead); HDFC Bank -3.6% against Banks -7.4% (3.8 points ahead); Adani Ports +9.8% against Infrastructure -14.9% (24.6 points ahead); Power Grid -9.6% against Power -13.4% (3.8 points ahead).
- At least 25% below the 52-week high: ITC (32%), HDFC Bank (27%) and Tata Consultancy (TCS) (26%).
