Stocks To Watch On July 25
Stocks to watch on July 25, 2025: Indian markets witnessed selling pressure on Thursday, reversing the previous session’s gains as investors reacted to fresh quarterly earnings and regulatory updates. The weekly F&O expiry also contributed to the volatility. Several key stocks are likely to remain in focus today, including Bajaj Finance, SBI Life, Cipla, IEX, and Bajaj Finserv, owing to Q1 results and other corporate developments.
Key Q1 Results Today: Bajaj Finserv, Cipla, Shriram Finance, BoB
Shares of Bajaj Finserv, Cipla, Bank of Baroda, and Shriram Finance will be in focus as the companies are scheduled to announce their April-June quarter earnings today.
Bajaj Finance
Bajaj Finance reported a 20% year-on-year jump in Q1FY26 net profit to Rs 4,765.3 crore, compared to Rs 3,912 crore in the same quarter last year.
SBI Life Insurance
SBI Life posted a 14% increase in net profit to Rs 594 crore, supported by strong growth in renewal premium collections.
Karur Vysya Bank
Karur Vysya Bank posted a 13.5% YoY rise in net profit to Rs 521 crore in Q1FY26. The standout announcement was a 1:5 bonus issue—the lender’s first in nearly seven years. The bank also reported double-digit growth in total assets, which rose over 15% to Rs 1.25 lakh crore.
