Introduction
The Indian stock market witnessed a volatile session on May 5, 2025, with key benchmark indices like the SENSEX and NIFTY50 coming off intraday highs due to profit booking. Despite initial optimism, weakness in key banking stocks such as Kotak Mahindra Bank and State Bank of India (SBI) weighed on the indices. However, multiple other stocks, including those in the Adani Group and oil marketing sectors, saw significant moves. Here’s a complete roundup of the top 10 buzzing stocks today.
1. Kotak Mahindra Bank
Shares of Kotak Mahindra Bank tumbled over 6% intraday after the bank reported a 14% YoY drop in net profit to ₹3,551.74 crore for Q4 FY25. The decline was driven by a more than threefold jump in bad loan provisions, rising to ₹909 crore. Investors reacted negatively despite a 5.4% rise in net interest income.
2. State Bank of India (SBI)
SBI stock fell over 2% as Q4 FY25 profit declined 10% to ₹18,642.59 crore. The drop was attributed to a 20% YoY rise in NPA provisioning. Net interest income still rose marginally to ₹42,774.63 crore, but market sentiment remained cautious.
3. Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL), Bharat Petroleum (BPCL), Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL)
OMCs rallied strongly with HPCL up 6.8%, BPCL gaining 4.39%, and IOCL rising 3.8% after global crude oil prices dropped over 3% to $56.2 per barrel. The decline followed news of OPEC+ ramping up production, which helps boost refining margins for these companies.
4. Marico
FMCG major Marico’s stock jumped 5% intraday after reporting a consolidated net profit of ₹343 crore for Q4 FY25—up 7.86% YoY. Revenue from operations grew nearly 20% to ₹2,730 crore, signaling strong consumer demand.
5. Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M)
Shares of M&M rose 2.44% to ₹3,002 following robust quarterly earnings. The company reported a 20.3% YoY rise in revenue to ₹42,585 crore and net profit growth of 20% to ₹3,295 crore. A final dividend of ₹25.3 per share was also declared.
6. Central Depository Services Ltd (CDSL)
CDSL shares declined after reporting a 22% drop in net profit to ₹100 crore and a 7% fall in operational revenue for Q4 FY25, indicating weaker transaction volumes in the market.
7. Adani Total Gas
Adani Total Gas surged over 10% after Q4 net sales rose 15% YoY to ₹1,341.26 crore. While profit declined 8%, the strong revenue growth boosted investor sentiment.
8. Adani Green Energy
Shares gained following the announcement of a 400 MW power supply deal between Adani Green Energy’s subsidiary and UPPCL in Rajasthan. The agreement is expected to generate long-term revenue streams.
9. Paint and Tyre Companies
Shares of paint and tyre manufacturers rose 2–3% intraday, driven by the drop in crude oil prices which reduces input costs for these industries. Companies like Asian Paints and MRF were among the beneficiaries.
10. Broader Market Indices
The SENSEX rose by 239 points to 80,741 while the NIFTY50 advanced by 95 points to 24,441 at 12:25 pm. Early gains were pared as profit-booking hit heavyweight banking counters.
Adani Green Energy Sixty Nine Limited, a wholly owned step-down subsidiary of AGEL, has entered into a power purchase agreement with UPPCL for the supply of 400 MW solar power from a grid-connected solar PV power project to be developed in Rajasthan, the filing said.
Conclusion
Today’s trading session highlighted the impact of quarterly earnings and macroeconomic indicators like crude oil prices on market movements. While banking stocks faced pressure, other sectors like FMCG, oil marketing, and infrastructure showed resilience. Investors should monitor upcoming earnings releases and geopolitical developments that could shape market direction in the coming days.
