Stock market update for July 07: Indian indices rose sharply with JP Power, GCPL, Dabur, Cummins, and HUL among top gainers. Know today’s top losers and market outlook.

Markets Begin the Week on a Strong Note

Indian equity benchmarks opened the week on a bullish note, with the Sensex climbing over 300 points and the Nifty reclaiming the 24,250 mark on July 07, supported by strong buying in FMCG, power, and capital goods stocks. Investor sentiment remained upbeat as monsoon activity picked up pace across India, easing inflation concerns and boosting hopes for rural demand revival.

The BSE Sensex ended 309 points higher at 79,027, while the NSE Nifty 50 settled at 24,271, up 95 points. Broader markets outperformed the benchmarks with the BSE MidCap and SmallCap indices gaining over 1%, reflecting broader market strength.


Top Gainers: Who Led the Rally?

1. Jaiprakash Power Ventures (JP Power) | +13.2%

JP Power emerged as the top gainer on the BSE, soaring more than 13% to close at ₹17.60. The surge comes amid a significant uptick in volumes and renewed interest in power sector stocks. The company's restructuring plans and favorable sector outlook have driven investor optimism.

“With increasing energy demand and sectoral tailwinds, stocks like JP Power are seeing rerating opportunities,” said Rajesh Bhosale, Technical Analyst at Angel One.

2. Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL) | +6.8%

GCPL shares jumped nearly 7% to end at ₹1,308 after the company reported strong volume growth in its India business and improved performance in the Africa and Latin America regions. Brokerages turned positive on the stock citing improved gross margins and demand pickup in household insecticides and personal care segments.

3. Dabur India | +4.9%

Dabur stock gained almost 5% to ₹634 as the company benefits from increasing rural demand recovery and favorable base effect. Analysts note that its herbal positioning is gaining traction in health-conscious segments.

“We believe Dabur is well-positioned to capitalize on the ongoing recovery in rural consumption,” said Kavita Rao, Consumer Analyst at Motilal Oswal.

4. Cummins India | +4.3%

Cummins India surged after reports indicated that the company is expanding its presence in the hydrogen and gas-based engine segments. The stock closed at ₹4,124, continuing its upward momentum on strong earnings visibility and order wins from the infrastructure sector.

5. Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL) | +3.6%

HUL rebounded smartly to ₹2,686 on hopes of volume growth returning in the September quarter. The stock had been under pressure in recent months due to weak rural sentiment, but recent rainfall patterns and festival season expectations boosted investor sentiment.


Top Losers: Selective Profit Booking Observed

Despite the broader market rally, a few stocks saw profit booking and ended in the red.

1. Jindal Stainless | -4.1%

The stock corrected to ₹684 after a sharp rally in the past week. Analysts attribute the dip to profit booking and concerns around margin pressures due to volatility in raw material costs.

2. Bandhan Bank | -3.8%

Bandhan Bank slipped amid weak asset quality concerns. The bank’s stock ended at ₹197.5 as investors remained cautious ahead of its Q1FY26 results.

3. Dixon Technologies | -3.2%

Despite the positive outlook for the electronics manufacturing services sector, Dixon faced selling pressure to close at ₹6,180. Valuation concerns and muted global cues weighed on sentiment.

4. Vedanta | -2.6%

Vedanta fell to ₹444 amid volatility in global commodity markets and apprehensions around debt refinancing. The company’s complex restructuring plan continues to be a key overhang.

5. LTIMindtree | -2.1%

LTIMindtree saw marginal losses, closing at ₹4,497. IT stocks were mostly muted amid weak cues from the Nasdaq and worries over delayed enterprise tech spending.


Sectoral Overview: FMCG and Capital Goods Shine

  • FMCG index rose nearly 2.5%, driven by gains in GCPL, HUL, and Dabur.

  • Capital goods index climbed 1.8% led by L&T, Siemens, and Cummins India.

  • Power index advanced 1.5%, with interest returning to stocks like JP Power and NTPC.

  • IT and Metals remained laggards due to global demand concerns and commodity price swings.


Analyst Commentary: Market Resilience Despite Global Uncertainty

Domestic equities showed resilience despite mixed global cues. The US markets had ended lower on Friday amid concerns over Fed rate cut timing, but Indian indices remained focused on internal triggers.

“The monsoon’s progress and signs of recovery in rural demand are helping domestic-oriented sectors outperform,” noted Ajay Bagga, Market Expert.

“Investors should keep an eye on Q1 earnings and commentary on demand trends. Stock-specific action will dominate in the coming days,” added Neha Majithia, Research Head, KRChoksey.


Investor Outlook: Focus on Earnings and Rural Recovery

As the earnings season begins this week, all eyes will be on major companies’ results and their guidance. Stocks in the FMCG, capital goods, and power segments are expected to remain in focus amid improving macro indicators.

Short-term volatility may persist, but analysts suggest adopting a stock-specific approach, favoring companies with strong balance sheets and pricing power.

“The bullish undertone remains intact. We expect Nifty to test 24,500 in the coming sessions with support at 24,000,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.
