The Indian stock market is seeing active movement in specific shares, prompting investors to closely monitor Tata Steel, Infosys, Indian Hotels, and Kotak Bank, among others. Several corporate announcements and market trends are influencing these stocks.
Tata Steel
Tata Steel is in focus following its acquisition of 149 crore shares of T Steel Holdings for ₹1,355 crore. The company is also facing a tax demand of ₹1,132 crore, including penalties, from the Jamshedpur Tax Body. Despite these challenges, CLSA raised its price target for Tata Steel to INR 170.00 from INR 165.00. Tata Steel shares have surged 25% in 2025, driven by expansion approvals like the Neelachal Ispat Nigam Ltd project and a strategic acquisition. The stock is currently trading at Rs 169.47, showing a positive change of 0.81%.
Infosys
Infosys is addressing volatility in its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) on the NYSE, which triggered two trading pauses. The company clarified that these fluctuations were not due to any undisclosed material events and issued a statement to ensure transparency and prevent speculation. Earlier, Infosys ADRs surged as much as 40% on the NYSE, hitting a 52-week high of $30, leading to trading halts. A Canada-based report linked the spike to a technical glitch, while analysts cited a short squeeze, automated trading glitches, and low holiday liquidity as contributing factors. Infosys has also reached a settlement in principle to resolve all pending class action lawsuits against its subsidiary, McCamish Systems LLC, agreeing to pay $17.5 million into a fund. Experts recommend buying Infosys stock on minor dips, with a target price of Rs 2,000 within the next three to four months.
Indian Hotels
Indian Hotels Company's stock is being closely watched as the hospitality sector is expected to maintain growth momentum, supported by demand-supply dynamics, MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) and wedding demand, and renovated rooms. Motilal Oswal has reiterated a positive stance on the Indian Hotels industry. The company reported a 12% year-on-year growth in consolidated revenue for the September 2025 quarter. The stock has fluctuated within a day range of 721.55 to 733.00, while its 52-week range spans from 672.60 to 894.90.
Kotak Bank
Kotak Mahindra Bank is in the news following an alert for its customers regarding a temporary unavailability of UPI, net-banking, and ATM transactions on December 21, 2025, for one hour. Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd. share price moved down by -0.24% from its previous close. The stock opened at ₹2168.5 and had closed at ₹2164.6 the previous day. Over the last 52 weeks, the stock has recorded a low of ₹1,723.75 and a high of ₹2,301.90.
These four companies, Tata Steel, Infosys, Indian Hotels, and Kotak Bank, are among the key stocks in focus today, with their movements being influenced by a mix of company-specific developments and broader market trends.
