New Delhi, October 17: As markets open on Friday, October 17, 2025, several major stocks are expected to remain in focus following their Q2FY26 earnings and key announcements. Indian equities extended their winning streak on Thursday, with the Nifty 50 now less than 100 points away from its 52-week high, as financials and consumer durables led gains amid optimism over a domestic earnings rebound and renewed foreign inflows.

Here’s a look at five key stocks, Infosys, Wipro, Jio Financial, LTIMindtree and JSW Energy, and what investors should watch out for.

Infosys Ltd (NSE: INFY)

Infosys beat street estimates with 2.2% sequential constant currency revenue growth in Q2FY26. The IT major raised its full-year revenue growth guidance to 2–3% while maintaining its EBIT margin forecast at 20–22%. The board also announced a dividend of INR 23 per share, with October 27, 2025, as the record date. The positive guidance and strong quarterly performance could make Infosys a buy-on-dips candidate. RBL Bank Share Price Today, October 16: RBL Bank Stock Slips 0.60% to INR 297.75 Ahead of Board Meeting; Check Latest Price on NSE.
