Sources count 33 to 35 names, so check the exchange calendar. HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank and YES Bank have already reported, and markets are shut on Tuesday 20 Oct for Dussehra. I found no analyst estimates for today&#8217;s names, so this article is a calendar and a checklist.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">Q2 results today for the September 2026 quarter include Bajaj Finance, UltraTech Cement, Hindustan Zinc, Union Bank of India, Piramal Finance, L&#038;T Technology Services, HFCL, IREDA, Sobha, Waaree Renewable Technologies and Just Dial. The Nifty closed Friday at 23,146.15 after a second straight weekly gain, so expectations are firmer than a fortnight ago. Large banks already reported, with ICICI Bank consolidated profit up 22.28%, Axis Bank up 39.4% and HDFC Bank up 5.55%, and Infosys, Tata Motors and Kotak Mahindra Bank follow later in the week. For Q2 results today I could not find consensus estimates, so use the filings and the reaction in the first hour and not a guess about beats and misses.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Q2 results today arrive after a strong week, in which the Nifty gained about 2.8%, Nifty IT rose 11.7% and the rupee strengthened about 2%. Markets are expected to stay volatile, with crude oil near $108 to $110 a barrel and foreign investors still net sellers. Use the exchange earnings calendar for exact board meeting times.<\/p>\n<p>This guide covers the list of companies reporting, the bank results already out, the calendar for the rest of the week and what to check in each sector. It is educational and not a recommendation to buy or sell any stock.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong><a
