Stocks to watch on October 8, 2025
Tata Motors
Tata Motors-owned Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) reported a sharp decline in its second-quarter FY26 sales. Retail sales fell 17.1%, while wholesale sales dropped 24.2%, according to Reuters. The company’s operations in the UK were hit hardest due to a nearly six-week halt caused by sophisticated cyber attacks. JLR had already seen an 11% dip in sales in July, partly due to temporary pauses in shipments to the US following import tariffs.
Titan
Titan Company recorded 18% year-on-year growth in domestic sales and 19% growth in jewellery sales for the September quarter. While this shows ongoing demand, growth slowed compared to last year’s 25% expansion, as higher gold prices dampened demand for premium jewellery pieces.
Godrej Consumer Products
Godrej Consumer Products expects mid-single-digit revenue growth in Q2 FY26. The company highlighted that about one-third of its products now attract a 5% GST, down from 18%, following recent tax reforms. Items affected include soaps, talcum powders, shampoos, and shaving creams, which could ease costs for consumers.
Lodha Developers
Lodha Developers reported pre-sales of Rs 4,570 crore, up 7% YoY for Q2 FY26, despite limited launches in the quarter. Collections rose 13% to Rs 3,480 crore. The company plans significant launches in the second half of FY26, aiming to meet its pre-sales guidance of Rs 2.1 lakh crore.
CONCOR
Container Corporation of India (CONCOR) will handle bulk cement transport for UltraTech Cement using specialized tank containers. The partnership shifts freight from road to rail, aiming to reduce emissions, ease road congestion, and cut logistics costs, while leveraging the predictable network of India Railways.
Anant Raj
Anant Raj announced that its Finance and Investment Committee approved a Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP) with a floor price of Rs 695.83 per share. The move is aimed at raising funds under SEBI’s regulations, giving institutional investors a structured opportunity to invest.
Lloyds Metals
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) cleared Lloyds Metals and Energy’s plan to acquire 49.99% stake in Thriveni Pellets Pvt Ltd (TPPL). This regulatory approval allows Lloyds Metals to move forward with the deal, consolidating its presence in the metals and energy sector.
