BHEL Stake Sale, Titan, Britannia Q3 Surge: Stocks to Watch
Overview

Indian markets are poised for a higher open as GIFT Nifty signals gains. Investors eye Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) as the government plans to divest a 5% stake, potentially raising over ₹4,400 crore. Meanwhile, strong third-quarter earnings are boosting sentiment, with Titan Company reporting a 61% profit jump and Britannia Industries seeing a 17% net profit rise. Eicher Motors and Grasim Industries also posted solid results. Telecom stocks are in focus as Bharti Airtel surpasses Reliance Jio in net subscriber additions.

BHEL Divestment Tops Agenda Amidst Positive Earnings

The government's plan to divest a 5% stake in Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) on February 11, 2026, is set to be a key market mover. The Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) Secretary confirmed the offer, which includes a base 3% equity sale and an additional 2% 'green shoe' option. This move could inject approximately ₹4,422 crore into government coffers if fully subscribed at the floor price.

Corporate Earnings Deliver Growth Impetus

Complementing the divestment news, robust third-quarter financial results are providing a significant tailwind. Titan Company Ltd. saw its consolidated net profit surge 61% year-over-year, driven by its jewelry segment's impressive 42% revenue growth amid strong festive demand. Britannia Industries Ltd. also posted a healthy 17.14% rise in net profit to ₹682.14 crore for Q3 FY26, with revenues climbing 8.21%. Eicher Motors Plc delivered strong numbers, with its consolidated net profit jumping 21% YoY to ₹1,420 crore on a 23% revenue increase. Grasim Industries Ltd. announced a 26.5% profit growth to ₹1,037 crore, backed by a 25.3% revenue climb.

Sector-Specific Developments Capture Attention

In the technology sector, Happiest Minds Technologies Ltd. reported a 19.56% year-over-year decline in net profit to ₹40.3 crore for Q3 FY26, primarily due to a one-time ₹22.03 crore charge related to new Labour Codes, although revenue still grew by 10.69%. The electric vehicle space saw news of the National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF) potentially selling up to 1.92% in Ather Energy through a block deal. Meanwhile, the telecom sector witnessed a shift in subscriber dynamics, with Bharti Airtel Ltd. reporting a net addition of 5.43 million users in December 2025, surpassing Reliance Jio's 2.96 million for the first time since January 2025. InterGlobe Aviation Ltd. also issued a statement confirming adequate pilot and crew resources to maintain stable operations following recent disruptions.
