Q2 FY27 earnings are driving the market, and Friday’s list of stocks to watch today shows a wide spread of results. Coal India and Trent posted strong profit growth, Suzlon Energy took a margin hit, IndiGo narrowed its loss, and Vedanta Power returned to profit. Here is what each company reported and what traders may want to track.
Coal India: Profit Jumps 53%
Coal India had the strongest headline of the session. The state-run miner’s consolidated net profit rose 53 per cent year-on-year to Rs 6,516.1 crore in Q2, against Rs 4,258.8 crore a year earlier. Revenue grew 20.9 per cent to Rs 44,178.7 crore. zeebizzeebiz
The comparison base is low. In the same quarter last year, Coal India’s Q2 FY26 profit had fallen 32% to about ₹4,262 crore. The current jump is partly a recovery from that dip. Investors will watch whether volumes and realisations hold up in the coming quarters. business-standard
Trent: Strong Growth and a Leadership Change
The Tata Group retailer posted solid numbers. Trent’s consolidated net profit rose 25.4 per cent to Rs 468.1 crore in Q2, and revenue climbed 21.9 per cent to Rs 5,873.1 crore. Another report noted that revenue from its Star business grew by over 20 per cent during the quarter. One outlet reported slightly different profit figures, so confirm the final numbers in the company’s filing. zeebizbusinesstoday
The stock also has a governance angle. Bahram Vakil has been appointed Chairman effective November 12, 2026, succeeding Noel Tata, who retires after 29 years. Leadership transitions at a closely tracked retail stock often draw attention from long-term investors. scanx
Suzlon Energy: Revenue Up, Profit Down Sharply
Suzlon is the cautionary name on the list. Consolidated net profit fell 69.2 per cent to Rs 394.2 crore from Rs 1,279.4 crore a year ago. Another report put the cause on margin pressure, with the stock slipping 1.4%. zeebizscanx
The operating picture is better than the profit line suggests. Revenue from operations rose 26% to Rs 4,869 crore, supported by record quarterly deliveries of 710 MW. The question for traders is whether the margin squeeze is temporary or structural. Suzlon has also been a high-volume, volatile name in recent years, so price swings can be sharp. businesstoday
IndiGo (InterGlobe Aviation): Loss Narrows
Q2 is traditionally a weak quarter for airlines, and IndiGo’s results follow that pattern. InterGlobe Aviation reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 1,879.1 crore, compared with Rs 2,582.1 crore a year earlier. Another source reported a loss of about ₹20.5 billion with revenue rising to ₹233.6 billion. The exact loss figure varies by report, but all agree the loss narrowed from last year. zeebizscanx
Vedanta Power: Back in the Black
Vedanta Power moved from loss to profit. It reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 83 crore in Q2. Operationally, power sales rose 26 per cent to 5,593 million units, helped by stronger output at Meenakshi Energy and a 186 per cent jump in sales at the Jharsuguda thermal plant. Vedanta Oil and Gas also reported a net profit of Rs 746 crore, compared with a loss of Rs 92 crore a year earlier.

What Should Investors Do?
Results-day moves can be sharp and sometimes reverse within days. A few practical points:
- Read beyond the headline. Suzlon’s profit fell, but revenue and deliveries rose. Coal India’s jump partly reflects a weak base.
- Check guidance. Management commentary often moves a stock more than the quarter’s numbers.
- Watch volumes and levels. Gap-ups and gap-downs on results days can fade.
- Diversify. Don’t build a position on a single day’s news.
Bottom Line
The stocks to watch today show an earnings season with mixed results. Coal India and Trent lead on growth, IndiGo and Vedanta Power show improvement, and Suzlon’s margin pressure needs monitoring. Verify the numbers against exchange filings and company announcements before you trade.
