Top buzzing stocks today

Bigbloc Construction share price will be in focus today.

Shares of Bigbloc Construction rose over 3% on 7 May, extending the previous day's 8% gain, after renowned investor Shankar Sharma bought an equity stake in the company. Sharma bought 3.65 lakh shares, or a 0.5% stake in Bigbloc Construction at an average price of Rs 235.

The total value of the deal translated to Rs 85.7 m worth of shares.

Lupin will also be a top buzzing stock.

Shares of pharmaceutical company Lupin slipped 5.2%. This came after the pharma major reported its quarterly earnings on Tuesday that missed street expectations.

Mumbai-based Lupin posted a 52% year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit, reaching Rs 3.6 bn for the January-March quarter of FY24. This compares to a profit of Rs 2.4 bn in the same period last year.

Nifty Realty Sheds 4%. Here's Why.

Shares of real estate companies cracked under intense selling pressure on 7 May, falling anywhere between 2-8% as investors rushed to book partial profits amid a weak market.

All participants of the Nifty Realty index, except Sunteck Realty, have delivered 9-88% gains in 2024 so far, giving investors plenty of headroom to take home at least partial profits.

it was Prestige Estates that fell the most, trading nearly 8% lower, followed by DLF, Sobha and Phoenix Mills, which slumped around 4-6%. Meanwhile, Nifty Realty was also the worst hit among all sectoral indices as it plummeted over 4%.

Realty stocks have been enjoying the fruits of their stellar pre-sales numbers and an even stronger growth outlook for the coming times.

The robust growth story of the sector has been consistently attracting investors, resulting in an over 21% surge in the Nifty Realty index year-to-date. For context, the benchmark Nifty 50 has gained just a little over 2% in the year so far.

Meanwhile, the robust demand outlook for the sector has also taken its valuation to historical levels.
