Market Movers: Keep a Close Watch on These Stocks in the Next Week (May 19-23)

On May 16, 2025, the Sensex closed lower by 200 points, while the Nifty 50 declined by 42.3 points. The IT sector, including major players like HCL Technologies (NSE: HCLTECH) and Infosys (NSE: INFY), contributed to the downturn in both indices. However, realty and media stocks ended the day on a positive note. As we conclude the market update for this week, anticipation builds for a potential bull run in the upcoming week. Here is a look at five stocks worth tracking from May 19 to May 23.

Five Stocks to Watch in the Coming Week

Here are the five stocks whose performance on the price chart is worth tracking:

Poonawalla Fincorp Ltd. (NSE: POONAWALLA)

Poonawalla Fincorp has delivered a 7.2% return in a week despite weak financial performance. In the fourth quarter of the financial year 2024–25, the company reported a net profit of ₹62.3 crores, which is 81.2% lower compared to the same quarter of the previous financial year.

What could work in favour of Poonawalla Fincorp in the coming months is its entry into the consumer durable loan segment. The company has recently launched digital EMI cards with pre-approved limits. In the first phase, it aims to expand its presence in this new segment across 70 locations and collaborate with around 5,000 dealers. Implementing an AI-powered debt management platform is another positive step that could help improve collections.

Kalyan Jewellers India Ltd. (NSE: KALYANKJIL)

A return of 8.0% in a week, 7.3% in a month, and 34.3% in a year shows that Kalyan Jewellers have performed well even during the bear phase. The stock performance is bolstered by strong financial reporting. In the fourth quarter of the financial year 2024-25, the company posted a profit before tax of ₹250.61 crore, up by 35.51% compared to the same quarter of the preceding financial year. Based on its performance, Kalyan Jewellers announced a final dividend of ₹1.5 per equity share.

Expansion is another factor that can potentially drive Kalyan Jewellers’ share price. In the financial year 2025-26, the company plans to open 90 outlets under the Kalyan brand and 80 under the name Candere.

Borosil Renewables Ltd. (NSE: BORORENEW)

In the span of a week, Borosil Renewables delivered a 16.6% return, while in a month, the share price surged by 9.6%. The performance was driven by a sharp decline in the company’s net loss in the fourth quarter of the financial year 2024-25. The net sales under review for the given quarter stood at ₹373.54 crores, reflecting a 31.9% year-on-year growth.

Talking about the positives, Borosil Renewables is a leader in India with over 20% market share in the manufacturing of low-iron textured solar glass. Moreover, through its subsidiaries, the company holds a 65% share in the solar glass market in Germany.

Considering India’s target of achieving 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030, solar companies like Borosil have the potential to perform well in the long run.

PNC Infratech Ltd. (NSE: PNCINFRA)

A return of 8.8% in a week and up by 5.7% in a single day on May 16, 2025, has put PNC Infratech in the spotlight. Several recent projects that the company has secured or bid for have contributed to the rise in its share price. Recently, PNC Infratech emerged as the leading bidder for a flyover project in Rajasthan. The company has also completed the four-lane National Highway 530B in Uttar Pradesh well before its completion date.

Other than these projects, its subsidiary, PNC Unnao Highways, has received an upgraded rating of AA from CARE. PNC Infratech itself has received a reaffirmed rating for bank facilities of up to ₹6,700 crores.

PNC Infratech is set to announce its quarter four results for the financial year 2024-25 on May 23, 2025, and if the results are positive, we can expect a significant surge in the share price.

A few months ago, HFCL also won an order from the Indian Army. This order entails manufacturing optical fibre cables that can withstand the load of armoured vehicles and are equipped with military-grade connectors.

Two months ago, HFCL became the first company to sign a deal with BSNL as the project implementation agency for the smooth execution of Bharat Net Phase 3 in the Punjab telecom circle. The deal was worth ₹2,501 crores.
