POST-MARKET SUMMARY 26th May 2025

On May 26, benchmark indices climbed higher, supported by strong earnings and the early onset of the South-West monsoon. Market sentiment received an additional boost from the RBI’s record dividend payout to the government, US President Donald Trump’s decision to delay tariffs on the European Union and a weakening dollar. All sectors closed in the green, with Nifty Auto and IT leading the gains.

Meanwhile, the primary market witnessed the launch of two mainboard IPOs. Read a detailed review of these IPOs here.

NIFTY: The index opened 66 points higher at 24,919 and made a high of 25,079 before closing at 25,001. Nifty has formed a bullish candle on the daily chart. Its immediate resistance level is now placed at 25,080 while its immediate support is at 24,900.

BANK NIFTY The index opened 138 points higher at 55,534 and closed at 55,572. Bank Nifty has formed a Doji-like candlestick on the daily chart. Its critical resistance level is now placed around 55,750 while critical support is around 55,300.

Stocks in Spotlight

▪  BEML: Stock surged over 15% following the announcement of a projected order book growth to Rs 22,000 crore by FY26-end, up from Rs 14,000 crore currently. The company is targeting 20% revenue growth with expected margins around 14.5%.

▪  Gillette India: Stock zoomed over 12% intraday following strong quarterly earnings and a dividend announcement. Net profit jumped more than 60% to Rs 159 crore while operating revenue grew approximately 13% YoY to Rs 767.5 crore.

▪  Lumax Industries: Stock rose over 3% after the company reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 43.97 crore for the quarter, up from Rs 36.06 crore in the same period last year. The board also recommended a final dividend of Rs 35/ share.

Global News

▪  Asian stock markets showed mixed performance on Monday amid lingering concerns over President Trump’s policy shifts. The postponement of the planned 50% tariffs on the European Union and the looming threat of new duties on imported smartphones, including iPhones, weighed on investor sentiment.

▪  In contrast, European markets opened the week with gains following the tariff delay announcement, which pushed the deadline to July 9 and helped ease trade tensions.

▪  Gold prices declined as the reversal of the tariff threat lowered demand for the safe-haven asset. Similarly, oil prices remained largely flat, supported by the extended deadline for U.S.-EU trade talks that alleviated fears of tariffs impacting fuel demand.
