Guidance is what management said, not our forecast. Each row shows the quarter of the call it comes from. Not investment advice.
How we picked them
Our ranking covers 1,600+ listed companies. Each earnings call is read for the revenue growth band and the margin direction management guided to, and the company is placed in a band from 1 to 5 on each. This list keeps only names whose latest call was Q2 FY27, then Q1 FY27, with a market cap of at least ₹1,000 Cr, in the API's ranked order. Each row shows the exact guidance, and position is not a score. The full method is on the methodology page.
3 of the ten have a market cap under ₹5,000 Cr. Stocks that small trade thin volumes on a normal day, and a one-hour holiday session is thinner. Use limit orders. The wider list is at potential multibagger stocks, and the non-festival version of this list is best shares to buy now.
Muhurat trading 2026: session timings
| Equity segment | Time (IST) |

Source: NSE circular NSE/CMTR/76941, 19 October 2026. This is the first Muhurat session since the closing auction was introduced, so closing prices for eligible stocks come from the auction. NSE's F&O circular is FAOP/76940, and one broker summary puts the equity derivatives session at 2:20 to 3:40 pm. We have not verified currency or commodity timings, so check those exchanges directly.
What Muhurat trading is
Diwali opens a new Samvat year in the Hindu calendar, and Samvat 2083 starts this Laxmi Pujan. Traders have long opened their account books that evening, and the exchanges give them a session to place a first, symbolic order. BSE began it in 1957 and NSE joined in 1992.
The orders are real. Trades made in the session create settlement obligations like any other trading day. Equity cash trades follow the current T+1 cycle, with the exact date set by the clearing calendar.

Both indices closed higher in all six sessions, by between 0.07% and 0.87% on the day. That is six one-hour samples. It says little about how Samvat 2083 will go, and none of the stocks above is promised the same.
