Stocks to Watch, July 14: HCL Tech, Biocon, SBI, Grasim, BEL, ICICI Pru AMC and More in Focus

The stock market today is expected for an opening on Tuesday trading session as gift nifty signals weakness.

At the time of writing, gifty nifty futures were trading at 24,05, down by 0.08% as global crude oil prices surged to a one-month high, weighing on the overall sentiment.

On the previous day, the Nifty 50 closed slightly higher at 24,211 while the Sensex added 47 points to settle at 77,616.40, supported by buying in IT counters.

Since the Q1 FY27 earnings season is now in full swing, investors are expected to move their focus toward individual stock triggers rather than broader index movement.

Fresh tensions coming from the Gulf region, after the reimposition of a US naval presence in the Strait of Hormuz, have added a caution move to the overall market mood.

Here are the counters that are likely to be in focus during Tuesday's trading session.

1. HCL Technologies

3. SBI

The shares of State Bank of India will be in sharp focus today as its subsidiary, SBI Funds Management, opens its Rs.9,813-crore IPO for public subscription today, with a price band of Rs.545 TO 574 per share.
