Top Stock Market Gainers on February 12, 2026

Bajaj Finance 

Bajaj Finance share price started the day at ₹968.30 and closed at ₹999.75, rising 3.18%. The stock remained among the top Nifty gainers, even though the company recently reported a 6% fall in Q3 net profit.

Shriram Finance 

Shriram Finance share price opened at ₹1,053.50 and ended at ₹1,083.00, gaining 2.48%. The stock also touched a fresh 52-week high of ₹1,087.10 during the session. The stock also outperformed the broader finance sector today.

Eicher Motors 

Eicher Motors share price opened at ₹7,505.00 and closed at ₹8,034.40, up 1.06%. After a sharp rally of around 6% yesterday, the stock hit another record high today. The approval of a ₹958 crore investment to expand Royal Enfield’s capacity to 20 lakh units annually has also boosted investor confidence. 

ICICI Bank 

ICICI Bank share price opened at ₹1,407.40 and closed at ₹1,425.80, rising 1.31%. The RBI has approved ICICI Prudential AMC and the ICICI group to acquire up to 9.95% stake in 8 banks, including HDFC Bank and Federal Bank. This development is being seen as a strategic move that could support long-term expansion and investment opportunities.

BEL 

Bharat Electronics share price opened at ₹436.70 and closed at ₹440.70, up 0.79%. The stock ended higher despite market volatility. BEL has a strong order book, supported by recent defence and IT infrastructure contracts worth over ₹700 crore. These orders provide strong revenue visibility, especially going into 2026.

Top Stock Market Losers on February 12, 2026

Tech Mahindra 

Tech Mahindra share price opened at ₹1,605.00 and closed at ₹1,529.80, down 6.40%. The stock saw one of its sharpest declines in months and fell heavily from its recent all-time high of ₹1,854 hit last week. Selling pressure remained high as investors rotated out of high-beta IT stocks amid a broader technology sector sell-off.

Infosys 

Infosys share price opened at ₹1,428.90 and closed at ₹1,383.40, down 6.01%. The stock slipped to its lowest level since April 2025. Weakness in Infosys ADRs overnight added to the negative sentiment, and investors remained cautious over concerns that AI-led changes could impact its traditional software maintenance business over time.

TCS

TCS share price opened at ₹2,869.80 and closed at ₹2,740.50, down 5.82%. The stock hit a fresh 52-week low during the session. Its market capitalisation also dropped below ₹10 lakh crore for the first time since December 2020, and ICICI Bank moved ahead of TCS to become India’s 5th most valuable company.

HCL Tech

HCL Technologies share price opened at ₹1,529.00 and closed at ₹1,470.90, down 5.20%. The stock broke below key support levels as selling pressure intensified across IT names. Even though HCL Tech offers a relatively stronger dividend yield of around 4%, it could not avoid the sector-wide fall driven by global technology weakness.

Wipro

Wipro share price opened at ₹226.20 and closed at ₹219.00, down 4.70%. The stock touched a fresh 52-week low of ₹218.50 intraday. It remained under pressure as the Nifty IT index continued its decline, which has now crossed 10.5% in the first six weeks of 2026.

Conclusion

Markets ended lower on February 12 as heavy selling in IT stocks outweighed gains in select financial and auto names. Bajaj Finance, Shriram Finance and ICICI Bank supported the upside, while Tech Mahindra, Infosys and TCS led the decline. With the Nifty IT index at a 10-month low, investor focus remains on global tech sentiment and AI-led risks.
