Stock Market Live Updates: Just Dial Shares Surge 9% To Two Month High
Just Dial shares saw a sharp improvement in collections growth and paid supplier adds. Swapnil Potdukhe of JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited said, "Just Dial's collections (lead indicator for revenue) grew in 4Q by 11.3% YoY, meaningfully better than JMFe of 7.0% as well as 9MFY25 growth of 5.6%. Sequential paid campaign additions too were robust at 12.2k versus JMFe of 7.7k and ahead of 8k/7k/3k in 1Q/2Q/3Q. While revenue grew 7.0% YoY (a miss on JMFe by c.1%), EBITDA jumped 22% YoY to INR 861mn (ahead of our estimate by 3%) due to better-than-expected margin expansion. Traffic trend too was decent at 11.8% YoY, partly aided by a slight increase in A&P spend. While operating performance was better than expected, clarity on the company’s cash distribution policy (refer our recent note) remains a key trigger for stock performance. Ex-cash and other income stock is extremely cheap at 8x FY26 PER, as current cash and investments itself account for ~67% of Just Dial’s market cap. We continue to use target PER multiple of 18x to arrive at Mar’26 TP of INR 1,250."

Market Live Updates: What To Expert In Indian Stock Market Today?
Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities: As we begin a new week, market sentiment turns optimistic with FIIs emerging as net buyers last week, pumping in Rs 14,670.10 crore—boosting confidence for a bullish Nifty start. Key positives include India’s potential gain from the US-China trade war, hopes of an above-normal monsoon, and inflation hitting a 5-year low. While volatility may linger due to ongoing tariff uncertainties, India's strong economic fundamentals, easing inflation, and upbeat Q4FY25 expectations keep the outlook positive. Global cues like gold hitting record highs, the US dollar slipping below 100, and falling steel prices reflect the market’s risk-off mood. On the domestic front, strong earnings from HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank contrast with weaker showings from Wipro, Infosys, and Sonata Software, while Waaree Renewables and Suzlon delivered strong gains. Preferred Nifty trade: Buy in the 23600–23700 range with targets up to 24500. Stock to watch: CDSL, bullish on momentum with targets up to Rs 1401.
