MUMBAI, India | August 27, 2026 —
Stock Market Today August 27 2026 begins with investors digesting a blockbuster set of Nvidia earnings, fresh corporate announcements in India and another volatile overnight session on Wall Street as the Sensex and Nifty attempt to recover from Wednesday’s late selloff.
The Nifty 50 ended Wednesday at 24,207.75, down 0.52%, while the BSE Sensex closed 183.32 points lower at 77,472.94 after giving up its earlier gains. IT stocks and Reliance Industries were among the major drags, even as private banks provided some support.
Early GIFT Nifty indications suggest traders should prepare for another active opening. GIFT Nifty was quoted around 24,353 in early trade, while Wednesday’s cash Nifty had closed at 24,207.75.
However, the biggest global trigger this morning is unquestionably Nvidia.
Nvidia Earnings Could Drive Tech Sentiment Today
Nvidia reported another extraordinary quarter after the US market closed.
The AI-chip giant posted second-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of $96.2 billion, up 106% from a year earlier and 18% sequentially.
Its Data Center business generated $89 billion, surging 117% year over year.
Adjusted earnings came in at $2.22 per share, while Nvidia guided for approximately $108 billion of revenue in the third quarter, plus or minus 2%.
The company specifically said that its Q3 guidance assumes no Data Center compute revenue from China.
Nvidia shares initially weakened after the numbers but later rebounded sharply during after-hours trading as investors focused on continued AI infrastructure demand and management’s longer-term growth outlook.
For Indian investors, that puts IT, data-center, semiconductor-design, electronics and AI-linked stocks firmly on the watchlist today.
The read-through is not necessarily uniform. Nvidia’s growth reinforces the strength of global AI spending, but Indian software exporters are simultaneously dealing with concerns around how generative AI may reshape traditional outsourcing revenue.
Wall Street Ends Nearly Flat Before Nvidia Reaction
US benchmarks finished Wednesday with limited movement as investors balanced inflation concerns, higher bond yields and Nvidia anticipation.
The Dow Jones slipped, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq remained close to flat.
Markets are also reassessing the Federal Reserve outlook after inflation data reinforced concerns that US interest rates may remain restrictive.
That means Indian technology stocks could receive support from Nvidia’s strong results while simultaneously facing pressure if US bond yields move higher.
Stocks to Watch Today: Great Eastern Shipping
Great Eastern Shipping Company could be one of today’s most actively tracked stocks.
The company’s board is scheduled to meet on August 27 to consider a proposal for the buyback of fully paid-up equity shares.
The announcement had already generated buying interest earlier this week, so today’s board decision could become the next major trigger.
Any announcement regarding the buyback size, price, record date or route will be closely watched.
MTAR Technologies: ₹126.74 Crore Nuclear Order
MTAR Technologies enters today’s session with a fresh order trigger.
The company has received purchase orders worth approximately ₹126.74 crore from Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd.
The orders cover supply of coolant channel assemblies for refurbishment of the RAPS-4 and MAPS-2 nuclear reactors.
The development strengthens MTAR’s nuclear-energy order pipeline and comes at a time when India’s nuclear-power expansion is attracting increasing investor attention.
NBCC: ₹122 Crore Rajasthan School Order
NBCC (India) may also remain in focus after securing an order worth approximately ₹122 crore for construction of 170 schools in Rajasthan.
Fresh government project wins can influence sentiment toward NBCC because investors closely track its order book and execution pipeline.
NBCC is also approaching an ex-dividend date on August 28, adding another near-term corporate-action trigger.
Advait Energy Transitions: ₹135 Crore Contract
Advait Energy Transitions has received a turnkey contract worth approximately ₹135 crore from MPPTCL.
The order provides another company-specific trigger for the renewable-energy and power-transmission theme.
Power infrastructure remains one of the stronger structural investment stories in the Indian market as electricity demand, renewable integration and grid expansion drive capital expenditure.
GK Energy: ₹454.50 Crore Solar Opportunity
GK Energy could continue attracting attention after announcing empanelment for rooftop solar projects with an aggregate contract value of approximately ₹454.50 crore.
The allocation covers 100,000 grid-connected rooftop solar photovoltaic systems of 1 kW each, aggregating to 100 MW.
The scope includes design, engineering, supply, installation, testing and commissioning along with five years of operation and maintenance.
This puts the stock directly inside India’s expanding distributed solar + PM Surya Ghar + renewable-energy investment theme.
PFC, DOMS and P&G Health Trade Ex-Dividend
Dividend-focused investors also have several stocks to track today.
Power Finance Corporation is scheduled to trade ex-dividend for an interim dividend of ₹3.90 per share.
DOMS Industries trades ex-dividend for a final dividend of ₹3.65 per share.
Procter & Gamble Health is scheduled to trade ex-dividend for a much larger ₹45-per-share final dividend.
Thomas Cook (India), Manaksia Coated Metals & Industries and Yash Highvoltage are also among stocks scheduled for ex-dividend trading on August 27.
Investors should remember that a stock’s market price can mechanically adjust around the ex-dividend date, so a price decline alone should not automatically be interpreted as negative company news.
Symbiotec Pharmalab IPO Closes Today
The primary market will also remain busy.
Symbiotec Pharmalab’s IPO is scheduled to close for subscription today, August 27.
The ₹1,757 crore offering is the largest issue in this week’s IPO calendar and has therefore become an important primary-market event.

Annu Projects and Sumax Engineering, which opened on August 25, remain open until August 28.
Crude Oil Remains Critical for India
Crude oil continues to be one of the biggest macro variables for Indian equities.
India imports most of its crude requirements, meaning lower oil prices can ease pressure on inflation, the trade balance, the rupee and input costs across several industries.
The reverse is also true: another sharp crude spike can quickly become a headwind for aviation, paints, chemicals, logistics and other oil-sensitive sectors.

Key Levels for Nifty Today
After Wednesday’s close at 24,207.75, the 24,200 zone becomes the immediate level traders will watch.
A sustained move back above 24,300–24,350 could improve short-term sentiment and bring higher resistance levels into focus.
On the downside, a decisive break below the recent support zone could increase volatility.
Rather than chasing the opening move, investors may want to watch whether gains or losses survive the first 30–60 minutes of trade.
What Could Move the Market Today?
The most important triggers for August 27 are:
- Nvidia’s record earnings and AI-demand commentary
- Movement in GIFT Nifty and Asian markets
- US Treasury yields and Federal Reserve expectations
- Crude oil prices
- Foreign institutional investor flows
- Rupee movement
- Great Eastern Shipping’s buyback decision
- Fresh corporate orders
- IPO activity
- Technology and AI-linked stocks
The market is therefore entering Thursday with considerably more information than it had at Wednesday’s close.
Nvidia has delivered the strong AI numbers investors were waiting for. The question for Dalal Street is whether that global optimism can outweigh domestic profit-booking, foreign investor caution and resistance around the Nifty’s recent trading range.
