It’s a steady session for the markets. The Nifty surged over 170 points, pushing the 50-stock benchmark close to the 26,000 mark, a level that it’s been hovering around for days but struggling to hold. The Sensex too climbed more than 570 points, trading near 84,700. Brisk buying was seen in the small and midcaps as well. 

Here are the top movers and shakers at this hour:

Coforge

Coforge share price rose jumped 6% after the company released its September quarter results post-market hours on Friday. The buying was firm and deliberate, reflecting a vote of confidence in the company’s execution.

Investors took comfort in its steady digital business momentum even as the broader IT sector remains under cost pressure. 

Vodafone Idea

Vodafone Idea share price jumped nearly 10%  marking a fresh one-year high, after the Supreme Court breather. The apex court has asked the Centre to reconsider the company’s  long-standing pleas to consider the Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR).

The apex court allowed the Union government to take a decision on the matter, noting that it falls within the policy domain. However, the momentum cooled off as profit booking kicked in. As of the latest update, Vodafone Idea share price stands at Rs 9.79, up Rs 0.17 or 1.77% on the NSE.(Price updated at 1:15 pm last).

SBI Life Insurance 

SBI Life Insurance’s share price jumped over 3% at Rs 1,903. Additionally, the Global brokerage firm Jefferies predicted a strong growth potential ahead. The brokerage has maintained its ‘Buy’ rating on the stock and set a target price of Rs 2,27

Kotak Mahindra Bank

Kotak Mahindra Bank’s share price fell nearly 3% to Rs 2,122 after the private lender posted weaker-than-expected quarterly results. The bank reported net profit of Rs 3,253 crore, a 3% decline from Rs 3,344 crore in the same quarter last year. Most brokerages have given a positive rating on future prospects. 

SBI Life

The share price of SBI Life jumped over 3% in trade. Brokerages like Jefferies and Motilal Oswal have a positive recommendation on the stock. The company’s VNB or Value of New Business came in at Rs 170 crore in Q2, up 14% year-on-year, comfortably ahead of expectations. 

Reliance Industries

Reliance Industries’ share price gained over 2% to Rs 1,481.50 on the NSE after reports confirmed that Meta Platforms Inc. (Facebook Overseas) will take a 30% stake in the AI venture being developed by Mukesh Ambani’s conglomerate.

This marked Reliance’s entry into the AI frontier, a space that few Indian giants have touched with conviction.
