The 127.95-point gain placed the financial-services gauge among the better-performing configured sector indices for the day.<\/p>\n<p>The index opened at 25,988.90, held above the previous close through the session and touched an intraday high of 26,174. It ended 123 points below the day\u2019s high, while remaining 63.90 points above the day\u2019s low of 25,987.10. This price action reflects a constructive close at the index level, even as stock-level moves were divided.<\/p>\n<p>For a broader live-market context, readers can follow <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/share-market-today\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/share-market-today\">Univest Market View<\/a><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Price_snapshot\"><\/span>Price snapshot<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Metric<\/th>\n<th>Level<\/th>\n<th>Session view<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Last traded price<\/td>\n<td>26,051<\/td>\n<td>Closing level<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Previous close<\/td>\n<td>25,923.05<\/td>\n<td>Reference level for the day<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Change<\/td>\n<td>127.95 points<\/td>\n<td>Up 0.49%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Day high<\/td>\n<td>26,174<\/td>\n<td>Intraday peak<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Day low<\/td>\n<td>25,987.10<\/td>\n<td>Intraday floor<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The index\u2019s intraday range was 186.90 points. Its opening level of 25,988.90 was close to the day\u2019s low, and the eventual close above the opening level underlined the positive session outcome. The close also remained above the prior session\u2019s 25,923.05 level.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sector_ranking\"><\/span>Sector ranking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Nifty Financial Services was the second top gaining sector index among the configured Univest sector indices on 4 September 2026. Its 0.49% advance trailed Nifty Metal, which rose 1.07%, while it was ahead of the other configured sector indices that ended lower or nearly flat. Nifty Bank slipped 0.02%, while Nifty FMCG, Nifty Mid Select, Nifty Auto, Nifty IT and Nifty Pharma closed in the red.<\/p>\n<p>The ranking is based on the actual percentage movement of the sector indices for the session. It positions financial services as a relative area of strength within this configured index set, although the stock-level breadth within the index remained closely balanced.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Constituent_breadth\"><\/span>Constituent breadth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Of the 19 display-safe stocks tracked within Nifty Financial Services, 9 advanced and 10 declined. There were no unchanged stocks. The advance-decline ratio stood at 0.90, indicating that decliners marginally outnumbered advancers despite the index closing higher.<\/p>\n<p>This contrast is important: an index can rise even when more stocks fall than rise, because individual stock moves differ in scale. For this session, the headline index gain coincided with sharp advances in select names, while several other financial stocks ended lower. Breadth therefore suggests a selective, rather than uniform, positive performance.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heavyweights_versus_broader_participation\"><\/span>Heavyweights versus broader participation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The supplied heavyweight basket also showed contrasting moves. SBI Life Insurance Company gained 3.50% to Rs 1,775 and LIC Housing Finance rose 1.45% to Rs 562.05. In contrast, Muthoot Finance declined 0.43% to Rs 2,913.80, State Bank of India fell 0.71% to Rs 1,016.10 and Bajaj Finserv lost 1.11% to Rs 1,970.<\/p>\n<p>The named activity list similarly included both advancing and declining stocks. This reinforces the picture of varied participation within the sector: strength in insurance and selected financing names sat alongside declines in several large financial names. Investors assessing the close may therefore track whether the next session produces a more favourable balance between advancers and decliners.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Nifty_Financial_Services_stocks\"><\/span>Key Nifty Financial Services stocks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Stock<\/th>\n<th>Move<\/th>\n<th>Why it matters<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/sbilife\/sbi-life-insurance-company-ltd-share-price-today\">SBI Life Insurance Company<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Rs 1,775, up 3.50%<\/td>\n<td>It was the leading percentage gainer and closed at its day high.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/pfc\/power-finance-corporation-ltd-share-price-today\">Power Finance Corporation<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Rs 355.60, up 2.92%<\/td>\n<td>Its advance was among the largest positive moves in the index.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/hdfclife\/hdfc-life-insurance-company-ltd-share-price-today\">HDFC Life Insurance Company<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Rs 546.40, up 2.42%<\/td>\n<td>It added to the strength seen in insurance stocks.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/hdfcamc\/hdfc-asset-management-company-ltd-share-price-today\">HDFC Asset Management Company<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Rs 2,458.30, down 2.09%<\/td>\n<td>It was the steepest percentage decliner among the named stocks.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/bajajfinsv\/bajaj-finserv-ltd-share-price-today\">Bajaj Finserv<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Rs 1,970, down 1.11%<\/td>\n<td>Its decline illustrated the mixed performance among prominent financial names.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Biggest_positive_movers\"><\/span>Biggest positive movers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>SBI Life Insurance Company led the gainers, rising Rs 60 to Rs 1,775, a 3.50% increase.

Nifty Financial Services rose 0.49%, closed above its previous close and was the second best gainer among the configured sector indices. It also finished above its opening level after setting the day\u2019s low near the open.<\/p>\n<p>Stock-level strength was visible in SBI Life Insurance Company, Power Finance Corporation, HDFC Life Insurance Company, REC, LIC Housing Finance and Bajaj Finance. The gains in these named stocks were sufficient to coincide with a positive index close, even though the broader count of decliners was marginally higher.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_cautious_case\"><\/span>The cautious case<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The cautious case is centred on mixed breadth. Ten of the 19 display-safe stocks declined, compared with nine that advanced. HDFC Asset Management Company, Bajaj Finserv, ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company, State Bank of India and Cholamandalam Investment and Finance Company were among the notable losers.<\/p>\n<p>The index also closed below its intraday high of 26,174. That is an observation of the session\u2019s price range, not a forecast. The next session will show whether the positive index move is accompanied by broader stock participation.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Univest_Insights\"><\/span>Univest Insights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The closing picture for nifty financial services today was positive at the index level and selective at the stock level. A 127.95-point rise to 26,051 made the sector one of the day\u2019s better performers among the configured indices.<\/p>\n<p>Insurance names featured prominently among the strongest gainers, with SBI Life Insurance Company and HDFC Life Insurance Company advancing 3.50% and 2.42%, respectively. Power Finance Corporation, REC and LIC Housing Finance also posted meaningful gains.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, declines in HDFC Asset Management Company, Bajaj Finserv and several banking and finance names show why the advance-decline count deserves attention. The sector\u2019s 9-to-10 breadth split presents a more nuanced reading than the headline index gain alone.<\/p>\n<p>For traders and investors, the key signal to watch is whether Nifty Financial Services can retain its positive index momentum while participation improves beyond the day\u2019s leading gainers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"univest-posted-at\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#666;margin:20px 0 8px\">Published on 4 September 2026 at 4:17 PM IST<\/p>\n<section class=\"univest-login-cta\" style=\"margin:28px 0;padding:24px;border-radius:10px;background:#eef5ff;border:1px solid #cddff7;text-align:center\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Know_more_with_Univest\"><\/span>Know more with Univest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Log in to Univest to explore market insights, track stocks, and get <strong>3 free trade ideas<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/share-market-today\">Share Market Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/user\/log-in\" style=\"display:inline-block;padding:11px 20px;border-radius:6px;background:#1f4e79;color:#fff !important;text-decoration:none;font-weight:700\">Know More &#8211; Log In<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_did_Nifty_Financial_Services_close_today\"><\/span>How did Nifty Financial Services close today?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Nifty Financial Services closed at 26,051 on 4 September 2026, up 127.95 points or 0.49% from its previous close of 25,923.05.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_were_the_day_high_and_day_low_for_Nifty_Financial_Services\"><\/span>What were the day high and day low for Nifty Financial Services?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The index recorded a day high of 26,174 and a day low of 25,987.10.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_was_Nifty_Financial_Services_a_top_sector_gainer_today\"><\/span>Why was Nifty Financial Services a top sector gainer today?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It rose 0.49%, making it the second top gaining sector index among the configured sector indices for the session.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_was_the_breadth_within_Nifty_Financial_Services\"><\/span>How was the breadth within Nifty Financial Services?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Among 19 display-safe stocks, 9 advanced and 10 declined, with no unchanged stocks.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_stocks_were_the_top_gainers_in_Nifty_Financial_Services\"><\/span>Which stocks were the top gainers in Nifty Financial Services?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>SBI Life Insurance Company gained 3.50%, Power Finance Corporation rose 2.92% and HDFC Life Insurance Company advanced 2.42%.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_stocks_were_the_top_losers_in_Nifty_Financial_Services\"><\/span>Which stocks were the top losers in Nifty Financial Services?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>HDFC Asset Management Company fell 2.09%, Bajaj Finserv declined 1.11% and ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company lost 0.77%.<\/p>\n<section class=\"univest-disclaimer\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disclaimer\"><\/span>Disclaimer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Investments in securities markets are subject to market risks.
