Indian equity benchmarks, the BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty, extended their gains for a fourth consecutive session on Thursday, November 13th. However, they closed off their intraday peaks due to profit-booking, with the Nifty slipping over 150 points from its high to end flat. The Sensex rose 12 points to 84,478, and the Nifty added 3 points to 25,879. The Nifty Bank index outperformed, gaining 107 points to 58,382. The Midcap index underperformed, falling 210 points to 60,692, and market breadth favored declines.

Key stock movers included Asian Paints, up 4% on positive Q2 results. Samvardhana Motherson also climbed 4%. Eicher Motors fell over 1% post-earnings, and Tata Steel declined 1% due to concerns over its UK unit. Groww extended its rally after its debut. Prestige Estates, Honasa Consumer, and Data Patterns traded higher following their Q2 results. Lupin gained 1% after the U.S. FDA issued a favorable Establishment Inspection Report (EIR) for its Aurangabad facility.

Impact The market showed continued upward momentum but cautioned investors with late profit booking. Individual stocks reacted strongly to company-specific news, such as earnings and regulatory approvals, creating stock-specific opportunities. Rating: 6/10
