• Tata Chemicals (NSE: TATACHEM): Tata Chemicals reported a significant net loss of INR 56 crore for Q4, marking a stark contrast to its performance last year.

• Symphony (NSE: SYMPHONY): Symphony’s strong Q4 performance, with a 64.6% jump in net profit and robust sales growth. Investors will be keen to see if the company’s momentum continues, particularly in the cooling solutions segment.

• Blue Star (NSE: BLUESTARCO): Blue Star posted a 20.6% increase in Q4 net profit, driven by strong demand for cooling solutions. Given the growing demand in the air conditioning and commercial refrigeration sectors, Blue Star will remain in focus as it continues to benefit from the rising temperatures and increasing consumer spending.

• Lupin (NSE: LUPIN): Lupin’s approval for launching the generic version of Sumitomo Pharma America’s Aptiom in the US could boost its revenue stream. With the FDA’s approval for a product crucial in treating partial-onset seizures, it will remain in focus for any developments related to this launch.

• Niva Bupa (NSE: NIVABUPA): The standalone health insurer saw a 31.2% YoY jump in net profit to INR 206 crore, along with an 18.2% rise in gross premiums.

The stock market on May 8, 2025, is likely to witness significant movement, with Coal India, Tata Chemicals, and Niva Bupa standing out due to their recent earnings reports. While some stocks like Coal India and Symphony are expected to draw positive investor attention, others like Tata Chemicals and Dabur may face caution due to disappointing results. As the market digests these corporate earnings and broader macroeconomic factors, investors should closely monitor these stocks for potential opportunities and risks.
