Stock market today: Nifty50 and BSE Sensex, the Indian equity benchmarks, openedin red on Wednesday, a day after a strongly rally on the back of India-US trade deal announcement.
Indian equity benchmarks are set for a cautious start on Wednesday after witnessing a historic surge in the previous session, as early pre-opening trends indicate profit-booking following Tuesday’s blockbuster rally triggered by the India–US trade deal.Markets had rallied sharply after Washington reduced tariffs on Indian goods to 18 per cent from 50 per cent, fuelling optimism around export growth, capital flows and currency stability. However, early indications this morning suggest some cooling off after the exuberant run-up.The BSE Sensex started today's trade just under 83,400, crashing more than 350 points, while the NSE Nifty50 began the morning a little below 25,640, taking a beating of slightly over 130 points, around 9:15 AM.In the pre-open hour, the Sensex slipped close to 500 points and tested 83,250, and the Nifty breached 26,700, as of 9:10 AM. This downfall was triggered by a major selloff among IT stocks, resulting in a heavy sentiment across indices.Among Sensex constituents, M&M, Tata Steel, ITC, PowerGrid, and NTPC stood among the prominent gainers. Infosys, HCL Tech, TCS, Tech M, and Bajaj Finance dominated among laggards in the 30-share index.In the broader markets, the Nifty Midcap Select tanked 0.40 per cent, while the Smallcap50 index climbed 0.39 per cent. Sectorally, the IT index nosedived 5.76 per cent, dragging the sentiment down across market. On the other hand, the Metal index soared 1.49 per cent.After The Euphoria: Profit-Booking Sets InTuesday marked one of the strongest single-day performances for Indian equities in recent months. The Sensex surged 4,205.27 points, or 5.14 per cent, to hit an intra-day high of 85,871.73 before settling at 83,739.13, up 2,072.67 points or 2.54 per cent. The Nifty had similarly logged sharp gains during the session.The rally added massive wealth to investors, with the market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms jumping by Rs 12,10,877.45 crore to Rs 4,67,14,754.77 crore ($5.16 trillion).While the momentum was powerful, market participants now expect consolidation as valuations remain elevated and global cues turn mixed.IT Stocks Drag Down Markets“The rally fuelled by the US-India trade deal will face hurdles to sustain. The IT selloff in the US yesterday will drag the Indian IT index, too, constraining the rally in the Indian market. Since valuations continue to be high there is no fundamental support for a sustained rally. A trigger from monetary policy scheduled on 6th Feb is unlikely since the MPC is expected to retain the rates and stance with a dovish tone. The economy is now in a state where a monetary stimulus is not required. So, it is likely that the MPC will wait to see the monetary transmission play out. The auto numbers on January suggest that the buoyant demand continues,” said VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments.Vijayakumar noted that Tuesday’s 639-point rally was largely driven by FII short covering and cash market purchases worth Rs 5,236 crore. “Given the valuations, this bullish trend is likely to run out of steam. Investors should stick to fairly valued largecaps. The sectors that are expected to gain from exports to US, like textiles and apparels, gems and jewellery and marine processing will witness some more price action.”RBI MPC Begins TodayAttention will also turn to the Monetary Policy Committee meeting which is set to begin today. Governor Sanjay Malhotra will announce the final decision on key rates on February 6, although expectations are that rates and stance will be retained with a dovish tone.Market participants will assess whether the tariff-driven optimism translates into sustained foreign inflows or whether valuations and global volatility trigger near-term consolidation.
Asia's Largest Beverage IPO Marks the Dawn of a New A+H Global EraHONG KONG, Feb. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Eastroc Beverage (09980.HK / 605499.SH), a portfolio company of Harvest Capital, today made its official debut on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, becoming the first functional beverage company in China to be listed on both the A-share and H-share markets.Market capitalization exceeding HKD 140 billion.The offering raised approximately HKD 10.14 billion, with the Hong Kong public offering 57.46 times oversubscribed and the international tranche 15.60 times oversubscribed, setting a new fundraising record for the Asian beverage sector and marking the largest beverage IPO in Asia to date.As Eastroc Beverage's earliest - and at the time, sole - external institutional investor, Harvest Capital is proud to have accompanied the company throughout its journey. This milestone represents not only the success of a portfolio company, but also a validation of long-term conviction investing in consumer brands.From 1994 to No. 1: Building China's Leading Functional Beverage BrandFounded in 1994, Eastroc Beverage's trajectory mirrors the rise of China's homegrown consumer champions. Under the leadership of founder and Chairman Mr. Lin Muqin, the company transformed Eastroc Energy Drink into a household name through sharp market insight and relentless execution.Today, Eastroc Beverage is China's leading functional beverage company. In recent years, its revenue growth rate has ranked first among the world's top 20 listed soft drink companies, underscoring its exceptional momentum.With its iconic slogan - "When you're tired or sleepy, reach for Eastroc" - the brand has become a daily energy companion for long-haul drivers, delivery workers, and late-night office professionals across China, fueling the country's vast community of strivers.A Decade-Long Partnership: Harvest Capital and Eastroc BeverageHarvest Capital's partnership with Eastroc Beverage is rooted in its long-held belief in the consumer logic of high frequency, strong brand loyalty, and scalable flagship products.Drawing on deep experience from earlier investments in the functional beverage category, Harvest Capital recognized early on that functional drinks represented one of the fastest-growing segments within non-alcoholic beverages. The firm first engaged with Eastroc in 2015, and in 2017 invested RMB 350 million, becoming the company's only external shareholder at the time.After nearly a decade of partnership in the A-share market, Harvest Capital once again participated as a cornerstone and anchor investor in Eastroc Beverage's Hong Kong listing, reaffirming its long-term support for the company's global expansion.Industry-Leading Performance: The Fundamentals Behind RMB 20 Billion in RevenueAccording to the company's latest earnings guidance, Eastroc Beverage continues to deliver standout growth:Revenue scale: Full-year 2025 revenue is expected to exceed RMB 20.76 billion, representing year-on-year growth of over 31%;Profitability: Net profit is projected to reach RMB 4.34-4.59 billion, with growth of up to 37.97%;Distribution strength: The company has built a nationwide network covering nearly 100% of China's prefecture-level cities, supported by more than 3,200 distributors and 4.3 million active retail outlets, reaching over 250 million consumers.This powerful, internally driven growth engine underpins Eastroc Beverage's record-breaking IPO and its emergence as Asia's largest beverage listing in recent years.Going Global: From China's Eastroc to Eastroc of the WorldThe H-share listing represents a strategic inflection point in Eastroc Beverage's globalization journey.The company's ambition extends beyond domestic leadership - it aims to evolve into a global, diversified beverage group, comparable to international icons such as Coca-Cola and Suntory.Eastroc products are now sold in more than 30 countries and regions, with overseas subsidiaries established in markets including the United States, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Proceeds from the Hong Kong offering will be primarily allocated toward global production capacity expansion and supply-chain upgrades, advancing a dual-engine model of overseas manufacturing plus overseas distribution.Mr. Alan Song Xiangqian, Chairman of Harvest Capital, commented:"Eastroc Beverage's A+H dual listing is a declaration of China's functional beverage industry stepping onto the global stage. As a cornerstone investor, Harvest Capital will continue to stand behind champions - supporting Eastroc as it spreads its wings across global markets. We firmly believe that the globalization of Chinese brands is not merely about exporting products, but about exporting value chains and management excellence. Today, we witness history; tomorrow, we will continue to build greatness together."Congratulations once again to Eastroc Beverage on this landmark achievement.

Pakistan’s exporters face a 34 percent higher cost of doing business than regional competitors such as India, Bangladesh, and Vietnam, severely eroding price competitiveness and stalling export growth since 2022. High industrial energy tariffs, burdensome tax policies on formal businesses, and the collapse of over 400 cotton ginning units have increased reliance on imported cotton.
