Analysis based on 6 articles · First reported May 03, 2026 · Last updated May 04, 2026
The market saw mixed performance last week, with the S&P BSE Sensex making marginal gains. While some firms like Reliance Industries, Bharti Airtel, Tata Consultancy Services, and Bajaj Finance saw significant increases in market valuation, others such as HDFC Bank, State Bank of India, and ICICI Bank experienced erosion, influenced by rising crude oil prices and foreign institutional investor outflows.
Last week, the S&P BSE Sensex recorded marginal gains despite a volatile trading environment. Four of the top-10 most valued firms, including Reliance Industries, Bharti Airtel, Tata Consultancy Services, and Bajaj Finance, collectively surged by Rs 2.20 lakh crore in market valuation. Reliance Industries was the biggest gainer, adding Rs 1,39,655.8 crore. However, six other major firms, namely HDFC Bank, State Bank of India, ICICI Bank, Larsen & Toubro, Unilever — Hindustan Unilever, and Life Insurance Corporation, faced a combined erosion of Rs 1.24 lakh crore from their valuations. This mixed performance was attributed to easing geopolitical tensions and Q4 earnings progress initially, but later capped by rising crude oil prices, weak Asian market cues, and persistent foreign institutional investor outflows.
