The best intraday stocks for today<\/strong> on 19 August 2026 come from a market that closed marginally lower on 18 August, with the Nifty 50<\/a> declining 0.50% to 24,166.35 while the Bank Nifty<\/a> proved resilient, falling just 0.33% to 57,308.15. IT sector weakness from Infosys (-2.29%) and TCS (-1.26%) drove the broader index lower, but banking stocks showed selective strength.

Ankit Jaiswal, Senior Research Analyst at Univest, has flagged Axis Bank and Reliance Industries as the intraday stocks for today, citing Axis Bank’s relative outperformance on 18 August and Reliance’s defensive support structure. Kunal Singla, Associate Director at Univest, has put ICICI Bank on his intraday watchlist for today, noting that Bank Nifty’s relative strength and ICICI Bank’s positioning above the 57,200 support create a constructive setup for 19 August’s session.<\/p>\n
