In the high traded-value list, earnings-driven moves in metals, banks and defence shipbuilders dominated turnover.

Large Cap Top Traded by Value

Reliance Industries Ltd (+2.68%) Reliance rose after fresh focus on its scale and profitability, with reports highlighting that the company crossed USD 10 billion in annual profit after tax (PAT) for the first time. The move added to the post-results support seen since the company’s Q4 update and the board’s recommendation of a Rs 6 per share dividend for FY26.

Vedanta Ltd (+4.61%) Vedanta climbed after reporting a sharp earnings beat, with Q4 FY26 profit up 89% year-on-year to Rs 9,352 crore and EBITDA up 59% to Rs 18,447 crore. The board’s approval of an interim dividend of Rs 11 per share and the May 1, 2026 record date for the demerger also helped keep the stock near its 52-week high.

Eternal Ltd (+0.10%) Eternal traded among the day’s highest-value counters after its Q4 print and broker reactions, even as the closing gain was marginal. Broker notes cited strong guidance and Blinkit and food-delivery led growth, with targets going up to Rs 400 implying material upside, which supported heavy turnover in the stock.

HDFC Bank Ltd (-0.45%) HDFC Bank dipped despite reporting Q4FY26 profit of Rs 19,221 crore, as the immediate reaction stayed cautious amid scrutiny around the CEO’s term extension process referenced in market updates. The stock still saw large traded value, indicating active two-way positioning around the results.

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd (+1.79%) Sun Pharma advanced in line with broader pharma’s moderate gains (about 0.5% on the day), keeping it among the top traded-by-value names. The stock also saw close to 1 crore shares in volume, signalling strong participation in a relatively defensive large-cap pocket.

Mid Cap Top Traded by Value

Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd (+3.29%) Mazagon Dock gained as investors rotated into defence shipbuilders after Garden Reach Shipbuilders’ strong Q4 results triggered a sector-wide rerating in listed defence PSUs. The stock’s high traded value reflected follow-through buying in the theme rather than an isolated move.

Cochin Shipyard Ltd (+4.71%) Cochin Shipyard jumped on the same shipbuilding spillover, as traders extended positions across peers following the earnings-driven rally in Garden Reach Shipbuilders. Heavy volume underlined the momentum trade in defence manufacturing counters.

Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd (+2.68%) MCX rose to close just shy of its 52-week high of Rs 2,980, making it a key momentum stock in the traded-by-value list. The proximity to a fresh high appeared to attract short-term trades, with 28.37 lakh shares changing hands.

Dixon Technologies (India) Ltd (-0.36%) Dixon slipped as consumer durables was among the weaker sectors on the day (down 0.5% to 1% in market updates), keeping pressure on select electronics manufacturing names. The decline came despite being a top traded-by-value counter, pointing to profit-taking and hedge activity at elevated turnover.

Suzlon Energy Ltd (-0.99%) Suzlon eased on the day even as volumes stayed extremely high at 13.66 crore shares, indicating active churn. The stock remains well below its 52-week high of Rs 74.30, and the slight drop suggested trading-led consolidation after prior moves.

Small Cap Top Traded by Value

Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd (+6.88%) GRSE surged after a strong Q4 showing, with reports citing 29% year-on-year revenue growth and margin expansion, alongside a final dividend of Rs 6.70 per share for FY2025-26. Antique also raised its target to Rs 3,141 after a margin surprise, reinforcing the earnings-driven rerating and keeping volumes elevated.

Bandhan Bank Ltd (+11.22%) Bandhan Bank rallied to a new 52-week high after reporting a 68% jump in Q4 net profit to Rs 534 crore, aided by a higher NIM of 6.2% and improved asset quality (gross NPA 3.3%, net NPA 1%). Brokerage calls added fuel, including a ‘Buy’ from ICICI Direct with a Rs 230 target, which kept the stock among the highest traded-by-value counters.

Greenply Industries Ltd (+11.43%) Greenply spiked in heavy volumes (5.86 crore shares), placing it among the day’s most actively traded small-caps by value. Building-material names also drew attention alongside a roughly 1% rise in the realty index, supporting the sharp move amid heightened trading activity.

Tenneco Clean Air India Ltd (+5.31%) Tenneco Clean Air rose on unusually high turnover, with 2.29 crore shares traded as the stock moved closer to its 52-week high of Rs 644. The combination of price strength and heavy volume suggested momentum-led buying.

IRM Energy Ltd (+1.34%) IRM Energy posted a steady gain with large volumes of 3.69 crore shares, making it a notable traded-by-value name despite a modest move. The stock’s active trading pointed to positioning rather than a single-stock news trigger in the provided data.
