Mumbai, India — February 15, 2026
India’s stock market enters a crucial week (February 16–20, 2026) as the quarterly earnings season approaches its final stretch. With most large-cap IT and metal companies having already announced results, investor focus is expected to shift toward mid-cap firms, dividend announcements, and key economic data releases.
Market participants are also watching corporate actions and macroeconomic triggers that could influence short-term sentiment.
📅 Earnings Calendar: Companies Reporting Next Week
Several companies are scheduled to release quarterly or audited financial results:
February 16: Sejal Glass — Quarterly and audited results
February 17: Valecha Engineering / Sameera Agro — Financial results
February 18: Orient Tradelink — Quarterly results
February 19: ABB India — Quarterly/annual results and dividend
February 19: CIE Automotive India — Audited results and final dividend
