Key Highlights

• Nifty 50: The Nifty 50 closed above the 25,000 level, marking a seventh consecutive session of gains.
• Sensex: The Sensex also closed in positive territory, reflecting broad market strength.
• Infosys: IT stocks experienced some profit-taking, with Infosys shares dipping 1.5% ahead of a board meeting to consider a share buyback. However, Infosys' share price has been in focus after announcing its largest buyback ever, worth ₹18,000 crore, at a 19% premium to the closing price on September 11.
• Gainers: NTPC, Axis Bank, and Power Grid were among the top gainers on the Sensex, advancing between 1% and 2%.
• Global Market Influence: Positive cues from global markets, including a rally in the US stock market, influenced the Indian market's positive opening. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite all opened higher.

Infosys in Focus

Infosys made headlines with the announcement of its largest-ever share buyback, amounting to ₹18,000 crore. The company will repurchase 10 crore fully paid-up equity shares at ₹1,800 per share, which represents 2.4% of the total equity shares. While the stock corrected 5% in the last six months and declined 22.5% in the past year, it has risen 3% in the last five trading days and 6.2% in the past month.

In Q1 FY26, Infosys reported a net profit of ₹6,921 crore, a 1.5% YoY decrease, and revenue of ₹42,279 crore, a 3.3% YoY increase. The company has raised the lower end of its revenue growth guidance for FY26 to 1-3%.

Market Sentiment and Outlook

The trends on Gift Nifty indicate a positive start for the Indian benchmark index. The Gift Nifty was trading around the 25,183 level, a premium of nearly 80 points from the Nifty futures' previous close. Experts suggest that the Bank Nifty index may face immediate hurdles around the 54,800 - 54,900 zone, with a sustainable move above 54,900 potentially leading to a further upside rally up to 55,400.

Overall, the Indian stock market exhibited a positive trend, driven by encouraging global cues and hopes for improved trade relations. While IT stocks faced some profit-taking, strong performances in other sectors and positive buyback news from Infosys contributed to the market's upward movement.
