Top Indian Stocks in the Spotlight on Oct 12, 2026

When the opening bell rings on Monday, October 12, 2026, a familiar set of tickers will be buzzing across trading screens. Lenskart, Infosys, Avenue Supermarts (the force behind DMart), Canara Robeco AMC and a few others have found themselves under the market’s microscope, thanks to earnings releases, stake sales and strategic announcements.

First up, the eyewear disruptor Lenskart. Sources say Alpha Wave Ventures is preparing to off‑load roughly 1.6 % of its holding via block deals, pegging the floor price at ₹640 a share. The total offer could be close to ₹1,691 crore – a sizable infusion that might hint at new expansion plans, or simply a routine portfolio reshuffle.

On the tech side, Infosys tries to keep calm amid regulatory chatter. The firm says the U.S. Department of Labor’s pause on PERM applications won’t materially dent its operations. A reassuring line for a company that still leans heavily on its American clientele.

Retail is doing its own dance. Avenue Supermarts, the parent of DMart, posted a 7.6 % jump in net profit to ₹803.6 crore and saw revenues climb 18.4 % year‑on‑year, reaching ₹19,206.2 crore for the September quarter. With 15 new stores added, the chain now counts 518 outlets – a modest but steady footprint.

Asset management isn’t far behind. Canara Robeco AMC reported a 21.5 % surge in net profit to ₹59.2 crore, while revenue rose 17 % to ₹121.6 crore. Although its total AUM slipped 1 % to ₹1,16,700 crore, the firm declared a modest interim dividend of ₹2 per share, with the record date set for October 16.

Other headlines worth noting: Persistent Systems snagged a 10.79 % stake in Nagarro, pushing its holding to 94.04 % after a fresh offer period. KEC International booked orders worth over ₹1,014 crore in its transmission business, taking its year‑to‑date order book past ₹9,600 crore. Meanwhile, Can Fin Homes posted a 9.2 % profit rise to ₹274.6 crore, and Canara HSBC Life Insurance saw net profit climb 5.5 % to ₹43.05 crore, with premium income up 13 %.

Not all news is rosy. Anand Rathi Wealth’s profit fell 10.4 % to ₹88.96 crore, even though revenue grew. Rubicon Research faced a routine USFDA inspection that resulted in a single procedural observation – nothing that shakes the fundamentals.

Lastly, e‑commerce platform Meesho kicked off its Mega Blockbuster Sale 2026 with a strong start, reporting impressive first‑day order numbers that signal healthy consumer demand.

All of these developments arrive alongside corporate actions like Triveni Power Transmission’s market debut post‑demerger and JoJo’s ex‑bonus‑date trade. As the market opens, traders will be watching both the numbers and the narratives, weighing how each piece fits into the broader Indian equity story.
