NSE SME listed Menhood was the biggest loser this week, losing 8.94% to end the week at INR 162. DroneAcharya and TAC Infosec stocks also lost significantly during the week, down 8.46% and 3.08%, respectively.
Ahead of its financial results on Tuesday (July 22), ideaForge’s shares lost 4.14% to end the week at INR 543.25. Brokerages are apprehensive about the drone tech startup’s Q1 FY26 performance.
“ideaForge will continue to report disappointing numbers due to lower opening order book, delay in order finalisation of L1 orders and muted ordering activity. Revenue for ideaForge will be driven by run rate business. However, in 1Q FY26 ideaForge has won orders worth INR 1.4bn, which will drive revenue from 1HFY26,” JM Financial said.
Other losers this week included Eternal, Nykaa, PB Fintech, ArisInfra, and others.
Markets Remained Dull This Week, Too
Markets extended their losing streak into the third consecutive week in July, as investors remained cautious due to the disappointing start of the earnings season and the ongoing uncertainty around the US-India trade deal.
While the Sensex declined by 0.9% to 81,757.73 at the end of the week, Nifty 50 slipped 0.7% to 24,968.40. The benchmark indices showed some resilience during the initial three sessions, but the bear took over in the latter half.
“Nifty ended the week below the key psychological mark of 25,000, indicating sustained caution. The index remains vulnerable to further downside if it breaks below the immediate support zone of 24,900. A breakdown could drag the index toward the 24,450–24,700 zone in the coming sessions,” Religare Broking’s research SVP Ajit Mishra said.
Mishra added that midcap and smallcap indices registered healthy gains despite weakness in frontline stocks. Notably, most new-age tech companies, barring Eternal and Swiggy, are featured in various smallcap and midcap indices of the BSE and the NSE.
Analysts expect the indices to remain in a consolidation phase with a negative bias in the near term, amid a weak start to the earnings season and ongoing global uncertainties.
Now, let’s take a deeper look at the performance of ixigo and Ola Electric. While ixigo remained the top gainer of the week, Ola Electric broke its bearish trend this week.
ixigo’s Shares Surge On Upbeat Financials
After reporting its Q1 FY26 results on Wednesday, ixigo’s shares surged 24.16% to end the week at INR 217.40, taking the company’s market cap back to $1 Bn. With this, the company’s shares have increased 18.78% YTD.
The online travel aggregator reported a robust Q1 FY26, with consolidated net profit surging 27% year-on-year (YoY) to INR 18.9 Cr. This growth was propelled by a 73% increase in operating revenue to INR 314.5 Cr. EBITDA saw a significant 69% rise to INR 32.5 Cr. Gross Transaction Value (GTV) rose 55% to INR 4,644.7 Cr.
While all three core segments—train, bus, and flight bookings—were profitable, the train business contributed the most to revenue. However, Freshbus, its associate bus ticketing platform, continued to incur losses.
Brokerage firm JM Financial has a ‘Buy’ rating on the stock, with a price target of INR 220.
“We expect ixigo to continue to deliver above-market growth in the near term on the back of effective cross-selling of services across its various apps, immense focus on superior customer experience and robust traction for its differentiated value-added services,” the brokerage firm said.
Ola Electric Shares Revive This Week
After reporting a lukewarm Q1 FY26 performance on Monday, Ola Electric’s shares finally broke out of the bearish phase that they were in. The company’s shares ended the week up 3.69% to end at INR 41.29.
The stock touched an all-time low of INR 39.58 on Monday. Notably, Ola Electric’s shares have crashed 52.12% so far this year.
Ola Electric’s Q1 FY26 saw its consolidated net loss widen 23.3% YoY to INR 428 Cr, driven by a significantly lower sales volume. Revenues nearly halved to INR 828 Cr during the quarter.
However, the company showed sequential recovery, as losses reduced by 50.8% QoQ, and revenue jumped 35.5% QoQ. Notably, the EV maker became EBITDA positive in June.
