Stocks to Watch Today

Here are the top stocks to watch today following their latest earnings and key business updates.

Colgate-Palmolive
Colgate remains in focus after reporting a 17% year-on-year decline in net profit for the September quarter, with revenue slipping 6.2%. The dip was attributed to muted demand and the impact of recent GST rate changes, which disrupted inventory cycles. Despite a mild margin contraction, analysts see potential for recovery once consumer sentiment improves and premium product demand picks up. However, competition from peers such as HUL and Dabur may continue to weigh on near-term performance.

Hero MotoCorp 
Hero MotoCorp is another key stock to watch as it expands its global footprint. The company announced its entry into the UK market through a partnership with MotoGB Ltd., marking the launch of its Euro 5+ compliant Hunk 440 motorcycle. The move reflects Hero’s efforts to diversify beyond India while strengthening its presence in the premium and EV segments. Domestically, the company’s sales have remained steady, supported by festive demand and a broader recovery in rural markets. Investors will track updates on its electric vehicle lineup and performance in international markets.

Tata Motors 
Tata Motors also remains in the spotlight following its corporate restructuring. The company’s passenger vehicle arm has been renamed Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd. after its demerger from the commercial vehicle business. While festive sales were robust, with over one lakh vehicles delivered between Navratri and Diwali, investor sentiment turned cautious after S&P Global Ratings revised the company’s outlook to “negative.” The move followed slow recovery at its subsidiary Jaguar Land Rover post a cyberattack. Markets will watch how the new entity trades post-listing and whether domestic demand strength can offset global headwinds.
