Stocks to Watch on August 1, 2025: Indian equities ended marginally lower on Thursday after a volatile monthly expiry session, weighed by mixed global cues. In today's trade, shares of ITC, Swiggy, PB Fintech, JSW Energy and others are likely to remain in focus amid quarterly results and key corporate updates.
ITC, Adani Power, Tata Power, and PC Jeweller will be in the spotlight as the companies are set to announce their first-quarter earnings today.
Adani Enterprises reported a 44.9% year-on-year (YoY) decline in consolidated net profit at Rs 976.48 crore in the June quarter, compared to Rs 1,772.26 crore last year. Revenue from operations also fell 13.96% YoY to Rs 21,916.20 crore from Rs 25,472.40 crore.
Maruti Suzuki India posted a net profit of Rs 3,712 crore for the April-June quarter, up 1.7% YoY, beating Bloomberg's estimate of Rs 3,076 crore. The earnings beat was largely driven by a sharp increase in other income, which nearly doubled to Rs 1,823 crore from Rs 975 crore a year earlier, even as operating margins slipped and domestic demand remained muted.
Ambuja Cements recorded a 23.1% YoY rise in net profit attributable to owners to Rs 788 crore in Q1 FY26, driven by healthy revenue growth. Total net profit for the quarter came in at Rs 970 crore, a 24% increase YoY, surpassing Bloomberg estimates that had projected a Rs 920 crore loss.
DCB Bank posted a net profit of Rs 157 crore for the June quarter, up 19.8% YoY, despite a sharp increase in provisions. The lender's net interest income rose 17% to Rs 581 crore, while its net interest margin (NIM) stood at 3.20%, slightly lower than 3.29% in the preceding quarter.
Thermax reported a 39% YoY jump in net profit to Rs 151 crore, even as revenue slipped 2% to Rs 2,150 crore due to delayed customer clearances and execution challenges. The company also booked Rs 56 crore under Maharashtra's Packaged Incentive Scheme, 2007, during the quarter.
Coal India posted a 20.2% YoY decline in net profit to Rs 8,734.17 crore in Q1 FY26, compared to Rs 10,943.55 crore a year ago. Revenue from operations fell 4.43% YoY to Rs 35,842 crore, indicating a slowdown in performance.
Swiggy reported a wider net loss of Rs 1,197 crore for the June quarter, compared to Rs 611 crore in the same period last year. Revenue, however, surged 53.97% YoY to Rs 4,961 crore. The company attributed the losses to scale-driven growth across verticals, led by its Quick Commerce arm Instamart, while reiterating its focus on long-term profitability.

PB Fintech, the parent of Policybazaar, reported a 40% YoY increase in net profit to Rs 84.5 crore for the June quarter. Revenue from operations jumped 33.5% YoY to Rs 1,348 crore, supported by strong growth in insurance and lending segments.

Capex by CPSEs, four key government agencies declines 23% y-o-y in July
Synopsis Capital expenditure by large central public sector enterprises moderated in July, declining 23% year on year to ₹53,406 crore, attributed partly to an unfavorable base effect. However, spending between April and July rose 2.5% to ₹2.21 lakh crore, driven by a strong June quarter. The Railway Board and NHAI remained the top spenders during this period. Agencies Representation New Delhi: Capital expenditure by large central public sector enterprises (CPSEs) and four key government entities moderated 23% year on year in July to ₹53,406 crore, partly due to an unfavourable base, a senior official capex, including that by CPSEs, remains critical to the country's economic growth this fiscal, as external headwinds-especially uncertainties caused by the US' announcement of a 50% additional tariff on India-can potentially weigh on domestic private investments, experts reckon. To be sure, spending by the CPSEs and four large government agencies having annual capex targets of at least Rs 100 crore each-the Railway Board, National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), Delhi Metro Rail Corporation and Damodar Valley Corporation-rose 2.5% on year between April and July to ₹2.21 lakh crore, thanks to a 15% expansion in the June quarter. In July last year, capex by CPSEs and the four agencies had surged, thanks to the release of pent-up demand following deceleration in the June quarter caused by the administrative slowdown around the 2024 general election. For its part, the central government, too, has sharply raised its capital spending this fiscal. Its capex jumped 52% in the June quarter to ₹2.75 lakh crore, albeit on a favourable base. The finance ministry has already asked various departments and CPSEs to undertake capex regularly, and has been monitoring it regularly. This is crucial because the intended capex of private players is expected to decline to ₹4.9 lakh crore this fiscal from ₹6.6 lakh crore in 2024-25, according to the first round of the Forward-Looking Survey on Private Sector Capex Investment released by the statistics ministry on April 29. Rail Board remains top spender Between April and July, the Railway Board remained the top spender, with a capex of ₹79,152 crore, followed by the NHAI at ₹45,683 crore, showed the latest finance ministry data. ONGC, with ₹11,155-crore capex in the first four months, Indian Oil Corporation (₹10,733 crore), NTPC (₹11,782 crore), PowerGrid Corporation (₹9,045 crore), BPCL (₹4,806 crore), and Coal India (₹4,702 crore) are among the top CPSE CPSEs and the four government entities have set a total capex target of ₹7.85 lakh crore for 2025-26, which is almost 3% lower than the actual spending of ₹8.07 lakh crore last fiscal. The International Monetary Fund had in July projected India to remain the world's fastest-growing major economy over the next two years. It had pegged the country's growth at 6.2% for FY26 and 6.3% for FY27, more than double the global averages. But with US announcing extra tariff on India now, various agencies are trimming their earlier forecasts for the country, with some expecting a 30-80 basis point hit to growth due to the duty burden.

Unlocking UAV making system: 2 players to get Rs 30,000 crore order
The ₹30,000 crore deal to supply long-range drones to armed forces which has recently been cleared by the defence ministry is set to unlock the UAV manufacturing ecosystem in the country, with two players set to split the order, creating distinct production lines that can cater for larger orders in the future, besides exports. Defence Acquisition Council recently gave the the go-ahead to procure 87 medium altitude long endurance (MALE) drones that are to be made indigenously. The drones will carry out tasks such as reconnaissance, electronic warfare and precision missile strikes. The armed forces will shortly come out with an expression of interest, inviting Indian companies to bid for the contract, after which trials will be carried out before reaching the final stage of commercial negotiations. Sources said a key decision taken at DAC is to ensure that two of the bidding players get a part of the contract. The final order - estimated to be in excess of ₹30,000 crore - will be split between the two lowest bidders. Sources said the split will be in the 64:36 ratio, with the lowest bidder getting the bigger share. This would ensure that India would have two separate manufacturing MALE lines, giving the flexibility to ramp up production at short notice if needed. The bidding companies will need to ensure that aerostructures and main parts are made locally and even the engine for the drone is assembled and tested in India. Importantly, even the components for electro optical payloads and satellite communications need to be made indigenously, ensuring supply chain stability and security of the most critical military use components.
