Mumbai, January 30, 2026 – Indian equities wrapped a mixed session on Thursday, with Nifty edging up 0.2% to 25,550 and Sensex flat at 83,300, as Q3 earnings from IT provided lift but small-caps grappled with intraday swings amid moderate FII flows (₹1,000 Cr net buy). In a sign of heightened volatility, 4 scrips touched both upper and lower price bands (mostly 5%, some 2%), driven by low-float speculation and rapid sentiment shifts in ST/BZ series. This continues January's erratic trend, with EXIMROUTES (down 4.99% to ₹216.15 after swings), SITINET (flat at ₹0.33 amid penny chaos), and COMPINFO (down 1.49% to ₹1.32 on info sector pressures) exemplifying the action, totaling modest ₹1.66 Cr in value traded.
The dual hits reflect opportunistic trading in low-cap stocks, without major catalysts but linked to earnings flux. Volumes were average, advancers tying decliners. Analysts see this as short-term noise—upside potential if global cues improve.
