Indian stock markets are exhibiting volatility amidst mixed cues, prompting investors to keep a close watch on specific stocks. Here's a look at some companies that are expected to be in focus today:
Kotak Mahindra Bank: The third-largest private sector lender in India, Kotak Mahindra Bank, has announced that its board of directors will meet on November 21, 2025, to consider a proposal for a stock split. If approved, this would be the first such action by the bank in 15 years. A stock split increases the number of shares, potentially enhancing liquidity and broadening investor participation. In Q2FY26, the bank reported a consolidated net profit of ₹4,468 crore, a decrease of 11.4% year-on-year. However, the bank has demonstrated stability in asset quality and expectations of margin recovery in the coming quarters. The stock closed at ₹2,082.80 on November 14, a 0.37% increase from its previous closing price.

The company's profit jumped to ₹76,170 crore, up 2110% from ₹3,446 crore a year ago. However, excluding this gain, the company faced a loss of ₹6368 crore. Total revenue from operations in Q2 stood at ₹72,349 crore, a 13.5% decrease compared to the previous year. The company's performance was impacted by a cyber incident affecting Jaguar Land Rover (JLR). JLR revised its EBIT margin guidance down to 0-2% from 5-7%.
