Top Traded by Value Today 27-Apr-2026: Key Movers

Introduction

Indian equities ended higher on 27 April 2026, with the Sensex up over 700 points and the Nifty 50 holding above 24,050, as pharma and media counters dominated the day’s leadership. Turnover was concentrated in a mix of event-driven names and earnings-season trades, with pharma led by Sun Pharma’s mega US acquisition announcement. In the broader list of high-value trades, investors also reacted to key regulatory headlines in fintech and select Q4 result reactions in banks and consumer names.

Large Cap Top Traded by Value

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd (+7.03%) Sun Pharma surged after announcing a $11.75-12 billion acquisition of US-listed Organon, a deal billed as India Inc’s biggest pharma buy. The transaction materially expands Sun’s US footprint and adds a wider global portfolio spanning women’s health, general medicines and biosimilars, prompting a re-rating on scale and pipeline optionality. The stock also saw heavy value turnover as the company scheduled a senior management investor call to detail the acquisition.

Reliance Industries Ltd (+2.88%) Reliance ended higher in high-value trade after its Q4FY26 results, even as the stock saw early pressure on softer margins and a 12.6% YoY drop in quarterly net profit to ₹16,971 crore. Investors appeared to focus on management commentary around strong momentum in digital services and retail, alongside broker commentary that highlighted potential upside triggers including Jio additions and the longer-term Jio IPO optionality. The combination of results-driven churn and follow-on brokerage notes kept Reliance among the most actively traded by value.

Infosys Ltd (+1.34%) Infosys gained in a high-turnover session as investors digested its Q4 performance and dividend details, even while multiple street notes flagged near-term caution. Infosys reported Q4 net profit of ₹8,501 crore (up 21% YoY) and revenue of ₹46,402 crore (up 13.4% YoY), while FY27 constant-currency guidance was muted at +1.5% to -3.5%. The bounce also came after the stock’s recent sharp drawdown, with the counter trading near its 52-week low zone (₹1,155.30).

ICICI Bank Ltd (-0.85%) ICICI Bank slipped despite featuring among the day’s largest value trades, indicating two-way institutional flows rather than a directional build-up. With no stock-specific headline in the provided feed, the move tracked the broader risk reduction seen in financials on the day, where the Nifty Bank index was sharply lower in the available index snapshot. High turnover suggested active repositioning in private banks even as the stock closed in the red.

Varun Beverages Ltd (+5.79%) Varun Beverages climbed after reporting strong Q4FY26 earnings with margin expansion and announcing a ₹0.50 dividend. Net profit rose 20.1% YoY to ₹872.4 crore versus ₹726.5 crore in the year-ago quarter, which supported expectations of sustained execution in peak-season demand. The earnings catalyst drove both price gains and heavy volume, keeping the stock among the top value-traded large caps.

Mid Cap Top Traded by Value

One 97 Communications Ltd (-1.48%) Paytm parent One 97 Communications stayed under pressure after the RBI cancelled Paytm Payments Bank’s licence, a development the company disclosed as effective 24 April 2026. The company said Paytm Payments Bank’s board and shareholders approved steps to enable its winding-up and added it expects no material impact, but investors continued to price in regulatory and execution uncertainty. The stock still saw heavy value turnover, reflecting fast repositioning after the regulatory action.

Suzlon Energy Ltd (+5.64%) Suzlon gained in a high-volume session as the broader power and energy theme stayed in focus amid reports of record electricity demand of 256 GW during heatwaves. The stock’s 22.88 crore shares volume signalled aggressive participation, with traders using sector tailwinds to add exposure to renewable-linked names. With no company-specific headline in the provided feed, the move was largely driven by theme-led flows and momentum.

IndusInd Bank Ltd (+6.09%) IndusInd Bank rose after its Q4 results prompted a relief rally tied to an improvement in profits, even as at least one brokerage flagged slow growth and maintained a cautious stance. The market reaction suggested investors prioritised the near-term earnings recovery while reassessing the path for loan and deposit growth. Strong turnover reflected an active post-results repricing.

Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services Ltd (+7.71%) M&M Financial jumped with a sharp surge in trading activity during the earnings-heavy week, landing it among the top value-traded mid caps. In the NSE volume-gainers snapshot provided, the counter traded at 13.7 times its one-week average volume, pointing to aggressive positioning and short-term momentum. With no verified company-specific headline in the provided feed, the move was primarily explained by the unusual volume spike and technical follow-through.

Dixon Technologies (India) Ltd (+3.94%) Dixon Technologies advanced in active trade as investors rotated back into select manufacturing and EMS names after a recent correction, keeping the stock among the day’s most traded by value in the mid-cap set. With no fresh corporate development in the provided news feed, the move appeared to be driven by price action and repositioning rather than a discrete announcement. High-value turnover suggested institutional participation in the rebound.

Small Cap Top Traded by Value

IRM Energy Ltd (+15.13%) IRM Energy rallied sharply in a momentum-driven move backed by unusually large volumes, with the stock touching its upper circuit limit (day high and UC limit both at ₹340.45 in the provided data). With no fresh stock-specific news in the provided feed, the price action was primarily explained by heavy speculative participation and a technical breakout-type move. The stock’s 7.29 crore volume underscored the intensity of the chase.

India Cements Ltd (+7.25%) India Cements rose after reporting a Q4FY26 earnings beat and a return to profit, according to the market updates provided. The company posted standalone revenue of ₹1,229 crore (up 2.6% YoY and about 10% sequentially) and reported a profit of ₹54.8 crore versus a loss of ₹63.8 crore a year ago, alongside significant margin expansion. The turnaround numbers drove both the move and strong value turnover.

Himadri Speciality Chemical Ltd (+0.75%) Himadri Speciality Chemical saw steady gains in a high-turnover session, indicating accumulation without a sharp price breakout. With no company-specific headline in the provided feed, the stock’s activity was best explained by sustained trading interest and rotation within chemicals-linked counters. The 2.25 crore volume highlighted continued liquidity despite the modest percentage move.

Tanla Platforms Ltd (+19.99%) Tanla Platforms hit a 20% jump alongside a sharp spike in participation, featuring prominently in the NSE volume-gainers list provided. The stock traded at about 35.5 times its one-week average volume in that snapshot, signalling a momentum-led move rather than a slow accumulation. With no verified corporate announcement in the provided feed, the catalyst was the unusual volume surge and a near upper-circuit type price move.

Apollo Micro Systems Ltd (+6.22%) Apollo Micro Systems advanced on heavy volumes, keeping it among the most traded by value in the small-cap universe. In the absence of a specific company update in the provided news feed, the move appeared to be driven by short-term momentum and active positioning in the counter. The 2.70 crore volume suggested strong trader participation through the session.
