Investors are particularly focused on the earnings from Maruti Suzuki, which received a bullish outlook despite mixed results, while Muthoot Finance shares fell by 9% after missing estimates.

“Muthoot Finance shares fell 8.7% after Q1 missed estimates, drawing multiple downgrades and price-target cuts. Persistent Systems posted record deal wins of $1.15 billion, including a new $650 million-plus deal with a global tech leader, but profit fell 8.7% quarter over quarter on forex losses.”
