Large Cap Top Traded by Value

Muthoot Finance Ltd (-7.37%) Muthoot Finance slid after its Q1 FY2027 investor presentation highlighted operating metrics that the market read as weaker than expected for a gold-loan lender. The company reported consolidated AUM of Rs 191,532 crore and consolidated PAT of Rs 2,825 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, but investors focused on commentary around softer profitability and growth metrics relative to expectations.

Bajaj Finance Ltd (-0.07%) Bajaj Finance ended flat despite being among the top traded-by-value counters, as traders consolidated positions after the sharp move seen in the prior session when the stock was among the key index gainers. With the price still near its 52-week high of Rs 1,177.60, the session’s action looked like high-turnover rebalancing rather than a fresh directional bet.

Divis Laboratories Ltd (+3.30%) Divi’s Labs rose as the stock pushed closer to its 52-week high of Rs 8,495, drawing momentum participation in a generally supportive tape for defensives. The move was backed by active trading volumes (19.16 lakh), consistent with a breakout-style bid in a stock already in a strong uptrend versus its 52-week low of Rs 5,637.50.

Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (-0.95%) Maruti slipped even as benchmarks rallied, reflecting relative underperformance in pockets of the auto space during a session dominated by IT, financials and FMCG. With the stock well below its 52-week high of Rs 17,371.60, the decline alongside heavy value turnover suggests index and sector rotation away from laggards.

ITC Ltd (+1.90%) ITC advanced as FMCG outperformed, with the Nifty FMCG index ending up 1.80% and ITC featuring among the day’s actively bought large caps. The stock’s large volume (4.94 crore shares) pointed to broad-based participation as defensives and consumption names attracted flows amid a stronger headline market.

Mid Cap Top Traded by Value

One 97 Communications Ltd (+2.63%) One 97 Communications gained with strong value turnover as financials and rate-sensitive stocks remained in focus during a broad market upmove. The stock’s rise also kept it in proximity to its 52-week high of Rs 1,437, which typically draws incremental trading interest when approached on high volumes.

Dixon Technologies (India) Ltd (-2.10%) Dixon Technologies declined in a session where the Nifty Midcap 100 hit a fresh record intraday, indicating stock-specific profit-taking despite a supportive broader midcap trend. The move came with meaningful volumes (7.98 lakh) as traders trimmed exposure after earlier runs, while the stock remained well off its 52-week high of Rs 18,471.50.

Kalyan Jewellers India Ltd (-0.78%) Kalyan Jewellers edged lower on heavy trading volumes (1.70 crore), suggesting churn near a key zone after the stock’s strong rally towards its 52-week high of Rs 649. The relatively mild decline points to profit-booking and position adjustment rather than a sharp risk-off move.

APL Apollo Tubes Ltd (+6.91%) APL Apollo rallied sharply as infrastructure and building-materials linked names outperformed, aligning with the day’s leadership from cement and broader cyclicals. The stock’s strong move on 45.11 lakh shares placed it among the session’s standout midcap performers, reflecting aggressive buying in high-beta industrial plays.

Ashok Leyland Ltd (+4.76%) Ashok Leyland climbed with high volumes (4.98 crore) as the auto pack participated in the broader rally and benefited from the macro tailwind of lower crude, which can improve operating cost expectations across transport-linked businesses. The stock’s move also tracked the day’s pro-cyclical rotation as banking, financials and other growth-sensitive pockets led.

Small Cap Top Traded by Value

Redington Ltd (+8.10%) Redington jumped on very heavy volumes (7.38 crore shares) as the stock traded close to its 52-week high of Rs 357.80, triggering momentum-led participation in a strong smallcap tape. With 187 stocks hitting 52-week highs across the market, near-high breakouts and breakout attempts were a clear driver of activity in such counters.

Urban Company Ltd (+13.26%) Urban Company surged after publishing its Q1 FY27 earnings call transcript and audio for the July 31 call, keeping investor attention firmly on its latest operating trajectory. The company disclosed Q1 NTV of Rs 1,465 crore, revenue of Rs 528 crore, adjusted EBITDA loss of Rs (65) crore, and cash and investments of Rs 2,019 crore, which investors used to re-rate near-term execution and liquidity comfort.

Netweb Technologies India Ltd (+1.39%) Netweb Technologies inched up with steady volumes (25.50 lakh) in a session where the Nifty Smallcap 100 touched an intraday high and risk appetite stayed strong. The stock’s ability to hold gains amid heavy traded-by-value activity suggested accumulation rather than a one-off spike.

Pine Labs Ltd (+9.68%) Pine Labs rallied on strong volumes (7.54 crore shares), with investors actively positioning in payments and financial-services adjacencies during a day led by banking and financial services. The move also came alongside strength in key high-turnover fintech names in the midcap space, reinforcing a theme-driven bid.

Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd (-14.98%) Zee Entertainment tumbled as media was the only sectoral index in the red on Monday, making it a focal point for selling in an otherwise rising market. The sharp fall on 11.30 crore shares indicated aggressive distribution and risk reduction in media counters while broader sector leadership stayed with IT, financials, cement and FMCG.

Market Overview

Indian equities ended higher, with the Sensex up 0.70% at 78,639.03 and the Nifty up 1.60% at 24,774.30. The rally was broad-based as the Nifty Midcap 100 touched a fresh record high intraday, while the Nifty Smallcap 100 also scaled an intraday peak, mirroring the risk-on tone across categories.

Sectorally, IT, banking and financial services, cement and FMCG led, while media was the lone laggard. A key macro support cited during the session was the sharp drop in crude prices, which tends to ease input-cost pressure and supports consumption and transport-linked sectors.

Breadth remained decisively positive: 2,835 stocks advanced, 1,555 declined, and 205 were unchanged, with 187 stocks hitting 52-week highs. The market also saw a notable number of extreme moves, with 291 stocks locked in upper circuits versus 182 in lower circuits, underlining strong participation beyond the benchmark indices.
