Stocks To Watch on Sept 18, 2025: Marico, YES Bank, Cochin Shipyard, and Others

Indian equity markets ended on a positive note on Wednesday, September 17. The NSE Nifty 50 closed 90 points higher at 25,330, while the BSE Sensex gained 313 points to settle at 82,694. This was after the US Federal Reserve cut its key lending rate for the first time in 2025. This move has lifted investor sentiment.

Here are the top stocks to watch for the day:

Marico

The Income Tax Department conducted a nationwide survey operation at Marico’s offices on Wednesday. The Mumbai investigation wing led the search, but the company has not provided a comment yet. Investors should watch for further updates as this could impact the short-term movement in Marico share price.

YES Bank

YES Bank announced that Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) will acquire a 4.2% stake from Carlyle Group’s CA Basque Investments. This follows RBI’s nod for SMBC to increase its holding up to 24.99%. The development could boost YES Bank share price with expectations of stronger institutional backing.

Waaree Energies and Indosolar

Waaree Energies, the promoter of Indosolar, will offload 61 lakh shares or 14.66% stake through an Offer for Sale (OFS). The OFS opens for non-retail investors today and for retail investors tomorrow. This move could weigh on Indosolar share price in the near term.

Cochin Shipyard

Cochin Shipyard secured a ₹200 crore contract from ONGC for jack-up rig repairs. The project is set to be completed in 12 months. Positive sentiment may reflect in the Cochin Shipyard share price.

Biocon

Biocon Biologics got US FDA approval for two biosimilars (Bosaya and Aukelso), based on Amgen’s Prolia and Xgeva. This milestone could support a rally in Biocon share price.

Dixon Technologies

Dixon Technologies will acquire 51% in Kunshan Q Tech India for ₹552.99 crore, strengthening its hold in mobile and auto components. This deal is expected to impact Dixon Technologies share price positively.

Poonawalla Fincorp

The company will allot 3.31 crore shares to promoter Rising Sun Holdings, raising nearly Rs 1,500 crore. This capital infusion could lift Poonawalla Fincorp share price.
