- Wipro Ltd.: Wipro features on our list of NSE top losers today for the second time this month.

- Tech Mahindra Ltd.: Tech Mahindra features on our list of Nifty top losers today for the second time this month. A drop in MF shareholding in the last quarter, a declining profit margin (QoQ) and quarterly net profit, decreasing revenue for the past two quarters and an inability to generate net cash resulted in the company losing 1.52% of its stock price value.
- Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.: Sun Pharmaceuticals features on our list of NSE top losers today for the third time this month.

The Head of Retail Research at HDFC Securities, Deepak Jasani, commented on today’s drop, “Global equities slid on Thursday as risk aversion prevailed due to mounting worries over Middle East conflict, while the bond sell-off intensified, taking Treasury yields to fresh 16-year highs ahead of a keenly awaited speech from Fed Chairman.
Nifty fell on October 19 with a down gap but filled the gap by recovering in the morning session. A late selloff again took the Nifty into negative territory. The 19840-19850 band is proving to be an overhead resistance for the Nifty, and post a small recovery, it could again seek lower levels. On up moves, Nifty could face resistance in the 19680-19730 band while 19480-19512 band could provide support.”
