Tata Elxsi, ICICI Prudential AMC, Vikran Engineering, Nazara Technologies and Polycab also have triggers, and 22 companies report September-quarter results today. I could not confirm the specific trigger for Power Grid, which was among the Sensex laggards at the open, so it is listed with that gap noted. A stock in focus is a watchlist name and not a buy call, so check the results, the price reaction and the risks before acting.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Top stocks to watch today are the shares likely to move on Tuesday because of results, orders, deals or regulatory news. Hero Motors, HCL Tech, Power Grid and IHCL lead the headline list.<\/p>\n<p>This guide gives the full list of top stocks to watch today with the trigger and key numbers for each, and explains how to use such a list.<\/p>\n<p>Figures come from several morning reports, and some differ slightly.
