Indian benchmark indices extended gains in Monday’s session, with Sensex and Nifty trading up by over half a per cent each by midday. The Nifty held firm above 24,700, while broader markets outperformed, led by the BSE Midcap Index, which gained close to 1 per cent intraday.

Here’s a quick snapshot of the top 5 buzzing stocks in trade currently:

1. MCX

Shares of Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) rallied over 5 per cent intraday after the exchange reported a strong Q1 FY26 performance.

• Net profit jumped nearly 50 per cent YoY.

• It reported its highest-ever quarterly revenue.

• MCX also announced its first-ever 1:5 stock split, further boosting sentiment ahead of the record date.

Analysts see the stock split as a liquidity enhancer and expect continued investor traction.

2. Bharat Electronics 

Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) shares gained nearly 3 per cent intraday, with most brokerages issuing ‘Buy’ ratings post a strong set of Q1 results.

• FY26 guidance: 15–17 per cent revenue growth, 27 per cent EBITDA margin.

• Order inflows for FY26 expected to be around Rs 27,000 crore.

• Management maintained Rs 1,000 crore annual capex for the next two years to expand capacity.

The positive guidance has reinforced confidence in BEL’s growth trajectory.

3. LIC Housing Finance

LIC Housing Finance stock advanced over 3 per cent after reporting a stable Q1 FY26:

• Net profit rose 4 per cent YoY.

• Revenue increased 7 per cent YoY.

• Net Interest Income (NII) also climbed 4 per cent YoY.

The stock is gaining momentum technically, having recently tested its 20-week SMA.

4. ABB India

ABB India shares fell over 6 per cent in early trade after the company posted a 21 per cent YoY decline in net profit for the June quarter.

• EBITDA margin dropped sharply to 13 per cent from 19.2 per cent YoY.

• Margins were impacted by higher raw material costs, subcontracting charges, and a rise in stock-in-trade purchases.

Investors reacted negatively to the margin pressure despite long-term growth visibility.

5. GMDC

Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation (GMDC) shares jumped over 8 per cent intraday, making it the top gainer among midcaps.
