ROLLING AHEAD [EasyDNNnews:PaidContentStart]

Wheels India
BSE Code: 590073
CMP: ₹921.05 

Wheels India has built a strong presence in wheels for trucks, tractors, passenger vehicles and Construction equipment, while also supplying air suspension systems for trucks and buses. Beyond auto, it has a footprint in industrial components used in construction and wind energy, giving it a wider base than a typical auto ancillary company. Its long-standing ties with leading domestic OEMs remain a key strength and have helped it grow faster than the industry in select areas. What makes the story more interesting now is the company’s push beyond its traditional business. It is looking to grow exports of wheels for construction equipment and agricultural tractors, ramp up machining capacity for large windmill castings, expand fabricated and structural parts for windmills, including offshore projects, and scale up the hydraulic cylinder business. The aluminium wheel rim business is still small, but it adds another layer to the growth story. 

IN A GOLDILOCKS ZONE 

MCX
BSE Code: 534091
CMP: ₹2,554.95 

largest Exchange in the commodity derivatives segment. MCX continues to command over 99 per cent share across bullion, base metals and energy. What is adding a little extra buzz now is the chatter on the street. Technically, the stock is said to be setting up well for an upward move over the next few weeks, with some brokerage desks believed to be turning constructive on the counter. There is also growing talk that Q4FY26 and full-year FY26 earnings could come in strong, helped by healthy traction in commodity trading activity. Hence, watch out. 

PIPELINE TO PROFITS 

Astral
BSE Code: 532830
CMP: ₹1,620.10 

Astral has moved well beyond being just a pipe company. Over the years, it has built a wider building materials portfolio, with plumbing still at the centre but adhesives, paints and bathware increasingly adding to the story. What the street seems to be picking up on is the improvement in plumbing demand in Q4. Channel restock ing appears to have helped, and January volumes are believed to have come in especially strong. Management is sounding reasonably confident too, with plumbing volume growth for FY26 expected to be above 14 per cent. Then there is the margin angle. Astral continues to push its value-added product mix, which matters because that is where better realisations usually sit. The India adhesives business is still posting healthy double-digit growth, while the UK adhesives operation, after a messy phase, is showing signs of finding its feet again. 

BUYING THE DIP 

Torrent Pharmaceuticals
BSE Code: 500420
CMP: ₹4,263.05 

Torrent Pharma, the flagship company of the Torrent Group, remains one of India’s leading pharma names. What is catching the street’s eye now is the steady buying interest emerging on every dip. Broker desk murmurs suggest the stock is seeing demand at lower levels, indicating that market participants may be quietly accumulating the counter. In a selective market, such price action often points to underlying confidence. For now, Torrent Pharma appears to be one of those quality names where weakness is being viewed less as a concern and more as an opportunity.
