Indian stocks are likely to remain in focus on Thursday, October 8, as several companies have announced key business updates, quarterly figures, expansion plans and operational data. Jubilant FoodWorks, Varun Beverages, HCL Technologies, Fino Payments Bank, Gujarat Pipavav Port and Allcargo Terminals are among the stocks investors may track after developments announced on October 7.

Jubilant FoodWorks

Jubilant FoodWorks reported consolidated revenue of INR 2,608.7 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, marking an 11.9% year-on-year increase. The company's standalone revenue rose 11.6% to INR 1,886 crore.

Domino's India recorded like-for-like sales growth of 4.1% during the quarter, compared with 2.5% in the June quarter. The company also added a net 108 stores across its brands, taking its total network to 3,820 outlets at the end of September. Hindustan Aeronautics Opening Bell Updates: HAL Acquires HATSOFF, Defence Sector Tailwinds.

Varun Beverages

Varun Beverages plans to invest up to INR 4.10 crore in Jager Renewables, a solar-power venture in Uttar Pradesh.

The investment is aimed at supporting a renewable-energy project that will supply solar power to consumers in the state. The development could bring the beverage major's renewable-energy initiatives into focus for investors.

HCL Technologies

HCL Technologies is also likely to remain on investors' radar after the company expanded its international presence by opening a regional headquarters in Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa. Kalyan Jewellers Stock Update: Share Price Soars 3% on Robust Q2 Revenue Growth.

Separately, HCL Group has announced a INR 500 crore expansion of HCL IT City in Lucknow. The project is expected to add up to 9.5 lakh square feet of capacity and accommodate around 4,500 technology professionals.

Fino Payments Bank

Fino Payments Bank reported a sharp rise in loan referral disbursals during September. Disbursals stood at INR 278 crore, compared with INR 86 crore a year earlier, representing a 223% year-on-year increase.

The company's business update also showed growth in average total deposits, although transaction throughput declined during the month. The mixed operating data could keep the stock in focus during Thursday's session.

Gujarat Pipavav Port

Gujarat Pipavav Port handled 1.92 lakh TEUs during the September quarter, compared with 1.64 lakh TEUs in the year-ago period.

The increase in container volumes is expected to be a key operational factor for investors tracking the port operator.

Allcargo Terminals

Allcargo Terminals reported weaker September cargo volumes. The company handled 61,800 TEUs during the month, down 7% from the same period last year and 6% from August.

The decline in both year-on-year and month-on-month volumes could remain a point of attention for the stock on October 8.

Market Focus On October 8

Apart from these company-specific developments, the second-quarter earnings season is also gathering momentum. Tata Consultancy Services is scheduled to announce its Q2 FY27 results on October 8, with the company also expected to consider a second interim dividend.

Investors will therefore track corporate updates alongside quarterly results and broader market cues as trading begins on Thursday. These developments are market information and should not be considered investment advice.
