The stock was trading 7.8 per cent lower at ₹668.1 apiece, compared to a 0.16 per cent advance in Nifty 50 as of 1:45 PM.

Raymond Realty Q1 results
The Mumbai-based firm's consolidated net profit for the first quarter of 2025-26 (Q1FY26) surged by 121.8 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) to ₹16.5 crore.
In its first quarterly earnings since demerger from Raymond Ltd on May 1, the company's consolidated revenue for the quarter stood at ₹374.4 crore, up 188.7 per cent Y-o-Y.
However, on a like-for-like basis (post-demerger), the revenue dropped by 23 per cent Y-o-Y. Meanwhile, its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (Ebitda) stood at ₹41 crore, down by 39 per cent Y-o-Y.
"The main reason for Q1 (like-to-like performance) was that we had done a bumper Q3 and Q4 last year, and we were very low on inventory in Q1. The demand was very good, but we didn't have enough inventory to sell in Q1. We had to rush to get approvals and be ready for fresh launches," Harmohan Sahni, managing director (MD), Raymond Realty, said.

The demerger of Raymond Realty was completed on May 1, 2025, and the record date was May 14, 2025, for the purpose of determining the eligible shareholders of Raymond to whom the equity shares of Raymond Realty were to be allotted as per the terms of the Scheme.

Britannia investors may have to wait longer for pure magic growth amid margin pressures
Britannia Industries Ltd's shares have beaten the Nifty FMCG index so far in 2025, gaining 12% versus a 3% drop in the sectoral index. But incremental gains in the stock may be tough for two main reasons. First, valuations aren't enticing enough, keeping significant near-term upside at bay. Second, the recently declared June quarter (Q1FY26) results offered no triggers for the stock, with lacklustre volume and margin. The stock trades at 46 times estimated FY27 earnings, as per Bloomberg. Emkay Global Financial Services finds it 'fairly valued" at current levels. The broking firm's analyst Nitin Gupta believes Britannia's Phantom Stock Option Scheme could weigh on near-term performance, as any stock price appreciation from strong execution would be rewarded back to management, impacting the company's reported financials. Britannia's phantom option plan is an equity-linked cash incentive scheme for its top management. The phantom stock amount depends on the company's share price, making it lumpy in nature with the potential to have a meaningful impact on the operating profit margin. For instance, the hit from this in Q1FY26 was ₹52 crore, making it a key contributor to the 20% year-on-year rise in employee costs to ₹242 crore. Higher staff costs meant consolidated Ebitda margin contracted 135 basis points (bps) to 16.4%. Still, the 3% fall in other expenses helped soften the blow a bit, given the larger 310 bps drop in gross margin to 40.3% owing to elevated commodity prices. This marks the fourth consecutive quarter of decline in both Ebitda and gross margins. Falling prices bode well for margins The price of flour rose 8% year-on-year in Q1FY26, while refined palm oil increased 45% and cocoa was up 35%. Sequentially, the prices of flour, refined palm oil and cocoa were down. Sugar and laminates remained within manageable limits. The sequential easing in some commodities is encouraging, setting the stage for margin expansion in the coming quarters. Price hikes taken should also aid margin. The sequential improvement of 21 bps in gross margin in Q1FY26 lags expectations. Mihir P. Shah and Riya Patni, analysts from Nomura Financial Advisory and Securities (India), raised their FY26-28 earnings-per-share forecast for Britannia by about 2-3% to factor in price hikes and lower raw material prices. Price increases drove most of the 9% year-on-year growth in Britannia's Q1FY26 total operating revenue to ₹4,622 crore. Volume growth decelerated sequentially for the third quarter in a row to 2%, coming in below estimates. However, transaction growth, a measure of how many consumers are interacting with its brands, was at a sturdy 12%. Rural outpaces urban Britannia saw strong double-digit growth in rural markets, while urban areas posted high single-digit growth. Its four focus states: Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Rajasthan, clocked 2.7 times the growth other states. Overall market share was largely flat in Q1FY26, though the East saw some turmoil due to Britannia's distribution restructuring. Adjacent categories such as rusk, wafers, and croissants saw good traction and premium products such as Pure Magic Choco Stars, Harry Potter Pure Magic Choco Frames performed well. With a demand pickup seen in overall FMCG consumption, Nomura's analysts expect volumes to start improving from here and price hikes undertaken in Q1 to propel overall sales growth to double digits in FY26. Note that Britannia expects the gap between volume and revenue to stay in the range of 6-8% over the next two or three quarters. What matters for investors now is the pace of recovery in volume and margin.

Buy or sell: Vaishali Parekh recommends three stocks to buy today — 13 August 2025
Buy or sell stocks: After extending its Monday rally in the first hour, the Indian stock market came under selling pressure and ended lower on Tuesday. The Nifty 50 index finished 97 points lower at 24,487, the BSE Sensex ended 368 points lower at 80,235, while the Bank Nifty index corrected 467 points and closed at 55,043. Tech Mahindra, Maruti, and Hero MotoCorp led the charge among the Nifty's top performers. Conversely, it was a tough session for heavyweights like Bajaj Finance, Trent, and Hindustan Unilever, which ended as the major losers within the Nifty pack. Trading volumes in the NSE cash market were slightly lower today, down 3% compared to yesterday. Among the sectoral indices, Pharma, Media, Healthcare, and Auto emerged as major gainers, indicating pockets of resilience and investor interest in these segments. However, the day's decline was primarily driven by Nifty Financial Services, Private Banks, and Realty, which ended the day as major losers, weighing down the benchmark index. Vaishali Parekh, Vice President of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, believes the Indian stock market is trading cautiously as the Nifty 50 index is in a broader range of 24,000 to 24,700. The Prabhudas Lilladher expert said that a bullish or bearish trend can be assumed on the breakage of either side of this range. Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 index, Vaishali Parekh said, "The Nifty 50 index continues to remain volatile, resisting near the 24,700 zone with uncertainty prevailing, having no clear directional move and slipped down to close below the important 24500 zone with bias and sentiment precariously placed as mentioned earlier. The index needs to move decisively above the 24,800 level to establish some conviction and clarity for further upside movement, with the important 200-period SMA at the 24,000 level positioned as the crucial support from the current rate, which needs to be sustained." On the outlook of the Bank Nifty today, Parekh said, "The Bank Nifty index continues to hover between the tight, narrow range of 55,000 and 55,700 zone with bias maintained with a cautious approach and would need a decisive breach above the 50-DEMA at 56,000 level to bring some hope for further upside movement in the coming sessions. With the index precariously placed at the current juncture, a decisive breach below the 54,400 zone shall trigger intensified selling pressure overall weakening the trend, with the next major support positioned near the important 200-period SMA at the 52,700 zone." Parekh said that immediate support for the Nifty 50 index is placed at 24,300, while the resistance is at 24,700. The Bank Nifty would have the daily range of 54,500 to 55,600. Regarding stocks to buy today, Vaishali Parekh recommended three buy-or-sell stocks: Archean Chemical Industries, DCB Bank, and Hubtown. 1] Archean Chemical Industries: Buy at ₹ 640, Target ₹ 680, Stop Loss ₹ 615; 2] DCB Bank: Buy at ₹ 124, Target ₹ 130, Stop Loss 120; and 3] Hubtown: Buy at ₹ 348, Target ₹ 370, Stop Loss ₹ 338.
