Why Pharma and Metals Led While IT and Banks Lagged

Muhurat trading top gainers and losers by sector or stock group	Move in the Muhurat session	My reading (not from the reports)
Pharma and healthcare	Outperformed, led by Sun Pharma among Samvat 2083 stocks	Not stated in the report; sector rotation is one possibility
Metals	Outperformed, led by Tata Steel among Samvat 2083 stocks	Not stated in the report
IT	Nifty IT stocks weighed; Infosys among the laggards	Profit-taking after the sharp weekly rally
Banks and financial services	Weighed on the indices; Bank Nifty had risen 8.04% in the week	Profit-taking after the biggest weekly gain
Autos	M&M among the laggards	Stock-specific among Samvat 2083 stocks; the report gives no reason

The reasons in the right-hand column are my reading and are not stated in the reports. Index heavyweights such as HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank carry large weights, so even small bank moves can swing the Sensex and Nifty 50 in the Muhurat trading top gainers and losers tables. M&M and Infosys were named only as laggards, with no figures.

The Standout Mover: Finolex Cables After Q2 Results

Stock	Move	Reason reported
Finolex Cables	Up 14.12% to Rs 1,245 on the NSE at 2:42 PM	Consolidated net profit up 68% year on year to Rs 273 crore in Q2 FY27

Finolex Cables is a reminder that stock-specific triggers, such as results, can matter more than the ceremonial mood in the Muhurat trading top gainers and losers lists. A 14% move in a thin session can reverse, so check volumes and the close.

How the Muhurat Trading Top Gainers and Losers Lists Changed Over the Years

Muhurat session year for Samvat 2083 stocks	Muhurat trading top gainers and losers: gainers named	Muhurat trading top gainers and losers: losers named
2025	Cipla, Bajaj Finserv, Axis Bank, Infosys, M&M	Kotak Mahindra Bank, ICICI Bank, Bharti Airtel, Max Healthcare, Asian Paints
2024	M&M, Tata Motors, Axis Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Tata Steel, Sun Pharma	HCL Tech, Tech Mahindra, Wipro, ICICI Bank, Asian Paints

The lists change every year: Infosys was a gainer in 2023 and 2025 but a laggard in the 2026 report, and Sun Pharma was a loser in 2023 but a top gainer in 2026. That is one reason a single Muhurat session is a weak guide to the year ahead for Samvat 2083 stocks. The Sensex and Nifty 50 pages carry the index data.

When do trades from the Muhurat session settle?

Ans. Muhurat trades carry normal settlement obligations, and brokers differ: some say 9 November and Ventura says 11 November because of the 10 November holiday. Confirm the date with your broker before relying on a quick sale.
