Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty opened on a cautious note on Friday amid mixed global cues and lingering geopolitical concerns. Early volatility kept traders on edge but buying interest gradually picked up across frontline stocks.

After the initial nervousness, the market turned firm and traded on a stronger footing. At the time of writing, the Sensex was quoting higher by around 400 points, while Nifty was up nearly 100 points.

Metals and energy stocks led the charge, with both the Metal and Energy indices gaining over 1% in early trade, supported by strength in global commodity prices.

Meanwhile, global sentiment remains sensitive after fresh developments in the US-Iran situation. While there has been no major escalation, concerns over potential disruption in crude supply have kept oil prices volatile, influencing energy-linked stocks.

Stock-specific action was visible in the market. KRN Heat Exchanger rallied nearly 12% to Rs 887, drawing strong investor interest.

Here's why the stock rallied...

Strong Q3 Performance and Capacity Ramp-Up

Share of KRN Heat Exchanger and Refrigeration surged sharply in Friday's trade as a broad-based rally in capital goods stocks combined with strong company-specific fundamentals boosted sentiment.

The company delivered a strong Q3FY26 performance, with consolidated total income rising 33% YoY to Rs 1.55 billion (bn). EBITDA nearly doubled to Rs 0.31 bn, while net profit jumped 65% to YoY to Rs 0.22 bn, reflecting improved operating leverage and better execution.

Investor sentiment was further supported by a visible ramp-up at the new manufacturing facility, where the company has added over 40 new customers and is targeting around 20% capacity utilisation in FY26.

The Bus Air-Conditioning business has emerged as a new growth driver, with supplies having commenced to one client. The management is targeting a meaningful market share in this segment exceeding Rs 10 bn.

KRN is also witnessing strong traction in the fast-growing data center segment, which already contributes nearly 15% of revenue and is expected to increase further.

Additionally, a quarterly price reset mechanism and sufficient raw material inventory help protect margins, despite the volatility in copper and aluminium prices.
