Top Losers Today on 05 Nov 2026 were led by P I Industries Ltd, which fell 18.86% to Rs. 1,774.30 after weak Q2 FY27 profitability, while Cummins India Ltd declined 14.32%. By afternoon, Nifty 50 was up 1.86% at 24,405.25 and Sensex gained 1.99% to 78,838.19, led by financials and auto stocks.

Which large-cap stocks were the top losers today?

Cummins India Ltd was the steepest large-cap faller, while the other four stocks declined despite a broad market advance.

Cummins India Ltd (-14.32%)

Cummins India Ltd plunged after reporting Q2 FY27 standalone sales growth of 4% year-on-year to Rs. 3,247 crore but a 28.4% fall in profit before tax to Rs. 601 crore. The market focused on the deterioration in operating profitability, with supplementary context indicating operating profit fell 27% and net profit declined 18% despite higher revenue. Volume of 60.91 lakh shares underscored the scale of the earnings-led selling.

Solar Industries India Ltd (-4.44%)

Solar Industries India Ltd fell 4.44% to Rs. 18,549.00, with no company-specific verified announcement supplied in the input to establish a separate catalyst. The stock was part of a weak pocket in energy and defence-linked shares, with the broader energy index down 0.39% and defence down 0.59% in the available market context.

CG Power & Industrial Solutions Ltd (-3.85%)

CG Power & Industrial Solutions Ltd declined 3.85% to Rs. 809.45 without a verified company announcement in the supplied news. The 68.64 lakh-share turnover shows substantial trading activity on a day when investors rotated toward financials, auto, realty and capital-market shares rather than every industrial name.

Hitachi Energy India Ltd (-2.73%)

Hitachi Energy India Ltd lost 2.73% to Rs. 28,209.00, and the provided data contains no earnings release, order disclosure or regulatory event to attribute a more specific cause. Its decline came amid weakness in the energy segment, even as the benchmark indices moved sharply higher.

Siemens Ltd (-2.62%)

Siemens Ltd slipped 2.62% to Rs. 3,423.05, with no verified company-specific trigger included in the input. The move placed the stock among the session’s industrial laggards while the market’s leadership was concentrated in financial services, auto, cement and realty.

Which mid-cap stocks were the top losers today?

Sterlite Technologies Ltd led the mid-cap losers, with energy-linked and industrial shares also featuring in the list.

Sterlite Technologies Ltd (-4.99%)

Sterlite Technologies Ltd declined 4.99% to Rs. 757.00, with no verified company-specific news catalyst supplied for the session. Its 24.30 lakh-share volume accompanied a fall in media and chemicals, while sector leadership elsewhere favoured auto and financial stocks.

Bharat Forge Ltd (-3.56%)

Bharat Forge Ltd fell 3.56% to Rs. 1,750.30 without a specific results, order or corporate announcement in the supplied material. The 45.03 lakh-share turnover indicates active selling, although the market context does not disclose a definitive event behind the decline.

Oil India Ltd (-3.44%)

Oil India Ltd dropped 3.44% to Rs. 439.45 as energy was among the weaker sectors, down 0.39% in the available sector data. Lower crude oil prices were a key driver of the wider market rally, creating a less supportive backdrop for upstream oil names.

Aegis Logistics Ltd (-3.41%)

Aegis Logistics Ltd declined 3.41% to Rs. 1,179.55, with no company-specific disclosure provided to identify an exact trigger. The fall occurred during a session marked by lower crude oil prices and weakness in the energy sector, though the input does not establish a direct company-level impact.

Siemens Energy India Ltd (-3.35%)

Siemens Energy India Ltd slipped 3.35% to Rs. 2,860.80, and no verified earnings, order or regulatory event was supplied for the stock. Its decline tracked the weaker energy segment despite the broader market’s strong rise.

Which small-cap stocks were the top losers today?

P I Industries Ltd, Valiant Organics Ltd and Sunshield Chemicals Ltd led small-cap losses, with results-related disclosures central to two of the moves.

P I Industries Ltd (-18.86%)

P I Industries Ltd crashed after approving Q2 and H1 FY27 results and releasing its investor presentation ahead of the November 5 earnings call. Supplementary context showed quarterly revenue falling 9% year-on-year to Rs. 1,702 crore, operating profit dropping 57% to Rs. 233 crore and net profit declining 70% to Rs. 122 crore, alongside margin compression to about 14% from about 29%. Trading volume reached 1.07 crore shares as the stock closed near its 52-week low of Rs. 1,749.45.

Valiant Organics Ltd (-15.33%)

Valiant Organics Ltd fell 15.33% to Rs. 366.75 on the day its quarterly results were scheduled, according to the supplied context. No verified financial result figures or company announcement were provided, so the exact fundamental trigger cannot be established from the input; however, 10.68 lakh shares changed hands during the steep decline.

Sunshield Chemicals Ltd (-14.33%)

Sunshield Chemicals Ltd declined after its board approved unaudited Q2 and half-year financial results for the period ended September 30, 2026. The supplied filing confirms the results release and an unmodified limited review report, but does not provide financial figures, limiting a more detailed assessment of the market’s reaction. The stock closed at Rs. 935.00 on turnover of 30,290 shares.

Aptus Value Housing Finance India Ltd (-12.67%)

Aptus Value Housing Finance India Ltd fell 12.67% despite reporting Q2 FY27 net profit growth of 18% year-on-year to Rs. 267 crore and 20% AUM growth to Rs. 14,177 crore. The company also declared a Rs. 2 interim dividend, but the sharp price move shows investors sold the stock notwithstanding those reported operating metrics. Volume climbed to 2.17 crore shares and the stock finished close to its 52-week low of Rs. 177.45.

Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd (-11.70%)

Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd tumbled 11.70% to Rs. 1,593.05, with no verified company-specific disclosure in the supplied material to identify a precise catalyst. The 26.65 lakh-share volume signals significant activity, and the decline occurred alongside the earnings-led sell-off in Cummins India Ltd, another engine-sector stock.

How did the Indian stock market perform today?

Indian equities rallied strongly in the available intraday data, with Nifty 50 up 1.86% at 24,405.25 and Sensex up 1.99% at 78,838.19 as of 12:06 IST. The rally followed easing crude oil prices and improved global sentiment, while financial services, auto, cement and realty shares led the advance. Pharma and healthcare were among the weaker areas, and the energy index was down 0.39% in the available sector data.

Market breadth was firmly positive during the session: 2,692 NSE stocks advanced, 779 declined and 100 were unchanged as of 12:15 IST. The latest flow figures available were for the previous session, when FIIs were net buyers of 7,284 and DIIs were net sellers of 3,712; these are not end-of-day flows for November 5.

The contrast between sharply higher benchmarks and heavy declines in P I Industries Ltd, Cummins India Ltd and Aptus Value Housing Finance India Ltd highlights stock-specific reactions to earnings rather than a broad risk-off move. Chemicals were also weak, down 0.16% in the supplied sector snapshot, which coincided with losses in several chemical names.

Conclusion

Today’s top losers were dominated by earnings-driven reassessment. P I Industries Ltd and Cummins India Ltd fell after profits and operating performance weakened, while Sunshield Chemicals Ltd declined following its result disclosure. Aptus Value Housing Finance India Ltd was an exception where a reported increase in profit and AUM did not prevent a high-volume sell-off.

Investors should watch the commentary from P I Industries Ltd’s scheduled November 5 earnings call, particularly on margins and demand, as well as any fuller financial disclosures from Sunshield Chemicals Ltd and Valiant Organics Ltd. For Cummins India Ltd, the next focus will be whether management addresses the causes of its operating-profit decline and its outlook for profitability.
