Q1 results today: Cipla, SAIL, Bank of Baroda among 85 firms on July 25
New Delhi
Cipla, Bank of Baroda, Steel Authority of India (SAIL), Bajaj Finserv, Shriram Finance, and Reliance Infrastructure are scheduled to announce their earnings report for the first quarter (Q1) of the financial year 2025-26 (FY26) on Friday.
A host of other companies, including ACME Solar Holdings, Orient Cement, Mahindra Lifespace Developers, Tata Chemicals, New Delhi Television (NDTV), and Petronet LNG, are also expected to declare their Q1 results today.
Cipla Q1FY26 preview: Revenue to rise, profit growth likely muted
Cipla is expected to report moderate year-over-year growth in revenue and profit for the April–June 2025 quarter (Q1FY26), despite a slight dip in quarterly profit due to pressure in the US market.
According to estimates compiled by Business Standard, Cipla's revenue is likely to rise 5.6 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) to ₹7,071 crore, up from ₹6,694 crore in Q1FY25. Sequentially, the topline is projected to grow 5 per cent from ₹6,730 crore in the March quarter.
However, profit after tax (PAT) is expected to rise only 2.6 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹1,208 crore, from ₹1,178 crore a year ago. Compared to the previous quarter's PAT of ₹1,222 crore, this implies a marginal decline of 1.12 per cent.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (Ebitda) are estimated to fall 1.3 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹1,693 crore from ₹1,716 crore in Q1FY25. On a sequential basis, however, Ebitda is likely to improve by 10 per cent from ₹1,538 crore in Q4FY25.
Bank of Baroda Q1 preview: Profit likely to dip on weak interest income
Bank of Baroda is set to announce its financial results for the April–June quarter of FY26 on Friday.
Analysts expect the public sector lender to post a subdued performance, citing muted interest income and limited treasury gains as key drags on earnings. The weak revenue profile could result in a high single-digit decline in net profit on a year-on-year basis, and a sharper, double-digit fall sequentially, they added.
Market highlights from July 24
Indian equity markets closed lower on Thursday, weighed down by stock-specific moves as investors assessed June quarter earnings from companies including Infosys, Dr Reddy's Laboratories, IEX, Coforge, and Tata Consumer Products.
The BSE Sensex ended 542.47 points, or 0.66 per cent, lower at 82,184.17. The NSE Nifty50 slipped 157.8 points, or 0.63 per cent, to settle at 25,062.1. The session also marked the weekly expiry of F&O contracts. In the broader market, the Nifty MidCap 100 index declined 0.58 per cent, while the Nifty SmallCap 100 fell 1.09 per cent.
Market overview for July 25
Q1 earnings, forex data for the week ended July 18, progress on the India-UK trade deal, global market cues, institutional flows, and primary market activity are likely to guide sentiment on the benchmark Sensex and Nifty indices in Friday's session.

Should auto stocks be on radar? How to play defence stocks? Amnish Aggarwal explains
Amnish Aggarwal, Head, Research, Prabhudas Lilladher, says defence stocks experienced a sharp rally post Operation Sindoor, but fundamentals may take time to catch up. Auto sector performance will be stock-specific, influenced by international deals and the India-US agreement. Domestically, Eicher Motors in two-wheelers and M&M in PVs are currently showing strength, with monsoon impact and the upcoming festival season being key factors to watch. ADVERTISEMENT We have seen a range-bound momentum in the Jio Financial stock but on a longer-term picture, there's still conviction on the stock, say experts. What is your view? Amnish Aggarwal: We do not have any numbers on Jio Financial so far, but having said that, Jio Financials in particular is trying to grow big, as has been the case with some of the other ventures of the Reliance group. Now be it in asset management or segments of financial services, as of now, it is in a very nascent stage because they are handling very limited tangible business as of now. So, it is difficult to say with just one-year, two-year numbers. It will take time for the businesses to shape up. Yes, there could be some need for funding as they expand and that can be raised from the markets given the kind of brand equity the group has. News flow is coming in for the auto sector. Do you have any take on the automobile space or have you kept the space in your watch list for now? Amnish Aggarwal: In auto, one needs to be very stock specific because as far as the deal between the European Union, the UK, or the US is concerned, it is not going to impact the entire sector, that is one. Secondly, a lot will depend upon how the India-US deal goes through in terms of exports from many of the Indian companies. As far as the current deal we are going through, it might be beneficial for Tata Motors but not for others. But the mainstay of the Indian auto companies has been the domestic side where, in two- wheelers, it is Eicher Motors and in case of PVs, M&M is actually doing well. With monsoons being good, there could be some momentum there. It is very difficult to give any single point and very difficult to paint everything with the same brush. But having said that for the consumer or the consumption space, all those factors will play for auto whether it is interest rates, tax cuts, inflation and all that stuff which ideally should be positive for having said that, the groundwork is there but one needs to see how in the coming festival season in particular the auto sales go. But if you go by the current numbers, M&M and Eicher are the two stocks which really continue to look good. What about oil marketing, oil exploration, and oil producers? At present, ONGC, HPCL, and IOC are showing signs of sharp upsurge. However, oil refiners are tanking down in trade. Any crude related counters, space, sectors on your radar? Amnish Aggarwal: Due to the benign crude prices, if you look at the oil marketing companies like HPCL, IOC, etc, over the past few months, these stocks have done well and numbers expectations are also built in. So, a lot here will depend on how the crude prices behave. Among oil exploration companies, we have been positive on Oil India in the past. ADVERTISEMENT But, if the oil prices remain benign, then in some of the refining and the marketing companies, the losses will not come from marketing and those counters can see some stability or an upside from here. What is your take on the defence sector? Of late, BEL, Mazagon Dock counters have been lagging behind and they have been seeing a bit of a U-turn from higher levels. Is much of the optimism with respect to their order book, and growth trajectory already in the price and any expectation with respect to BEL? Amnish Aggarwal: Among the defence stocks, particularly after Operation Sindoor, for the next one, one-and-a-half months, there was a very sharp rally in many of these stocks and many of them gave 20-25% return from those levels. Sometimes these stocks go up but the fundamentals take time to catch up. Now, the order books are growing, the growth is there, but the numbers are not going to dramatically change from here. In the long term, these stocks continue to look good whereas in the near term, many of these stocks will move sideways to weak movements and that is a part of what happens naturally with many of the stocks.

IPO Mania! Foreign investors prefer public offers even as they sell stocks worth ₹20,000 crore. Here's why
Overseas investors, who typically favour investing in well-established companies, seem to be changing their stance as they actively participate in the primary market. July data shows that although FPIs continue to pull significant funds from the secondary market, they are increasingly preferring IPOs. FPIs remained net sellers through most of July, offloading local equities in 14 out of 19 trading sessions so far and withdrawing a total of ₹ 20,262 crore from the Indian stock market, as per the NSDL data. This trend reflects a tepid start to the June quarter earnings season, which failed to ease valuation concerns, while the strengthening US dollar and rising US Treasury yields have also impacted inflows. The easing of tariff-related concerns and progress in trade deals with major partners are currently supporting the US dollar's strength. Even during the five sessions in which FPIs were net buyers, inflows remained marginal, highlighting their cautious approach toward domestic equities. However, they invested ₹ 13,760 crore in the primary market, which analysts explain is due to lower valuations in IPOs compared to the secondary market. Looking at broader data, FPIs have sold ₹ 1.20 lakh crore worth of Indian stocks through the secondary market so far in the current calendar year but invested ₹ 35,747 crore in the primary market, the NSDL data shows. Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, said, 'The consistent buying by FPIs in the primary market contrasts with their selling through the exchanges. This trend holds true for CY2025 as well. Lower valuations in the primary market and higher valuations in the secondary market explain this paradox.' 'In July, FIIs have been continuous sellers in the IT segment while they were buyers in banking and financial services. Early Q2 results—with strong earnings from major banks and weaker results from IT companies—validate this FPI strategy,' he further added. FPI selling in July has shown little impact on the Indian stock market as domestic institutional investors (DIIs)—largely driven by mutual funds—are actively absorbing the pressure from the FPI sell-off. According to exchange data, DIIs have purchased ₹ 37,687 crore worth of Indian equities in July so far, more than offsetting the FPI outflows. DIIs have remained net buyers since August 2023. In H1 CY26, DIIs bought stocks worth ₹ 3.57 lakh crore, marking the strongest-ever half-yearly inflows. This represents 68% of the full-year inflow of ₹ 5.26 lakh crore recorded in 2024 and is nearly double the ₹ 1.81 lakh crore inflow seen in 2023. DIIs began the year aggressively, buying shares worth ₹ 86,591 crore in January, followed by ₹ 64,853 crore in February. While inflows softened over the next two months, they picked up pace again in May and June, with ₹ 67,642 crore and ₹ 72,673 crore, respectively, largely driven by a surge in block deals.
