Nifty 50 Top Gainers and Losers Today, July 3: HCLTech Leads Rally, Axis Bank Tops Losers

Mumbai, July 3: The Nifty 50 ended Friday’s session on a positive note, with technology and pharmaceutical stocks attracting steady buying through the day. HCL Technologies led the gains, while healthcare names such as Max Healthcare, Sun Pharmaceutical and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories also finished firmly in the green.

The broader tone remained constructive despite weakness in select banking, infrastructure and automobile stocks, which limited the benchmark’s overall advance.

HCLTech Tops Gainers as IT Buying Strengthens

Information technology stocks remained in demand throughout the session, with HCL Technologies emerging as the standout performer. The stock climbed 5.74% to settle at ₹1,140, extending gains after witnessing sustained buying during the day.

Healthcare counters also featured prominently on the gainers’ list. Max Healthcare rose 2.19%, while Sun Pharmaceutical Industries and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories gained 1.92% and 1.87%, respectively. Financial stocks including Bajaj Finserv and Bajaj Finance also closed higher.

The strength wasn’t confined to one sector alone. IT, healthcare and select financial names collectively provided the momentum that kept the benchmark in positive territory despite intermittent profit booking elsewhere in the market.

The HCL Technologies share price remained one of the most closely watched stocks during the session after outperforming every other Nifty 50 constituent.

Banks, Autos See Mild Profit Booking

On the losing side, declines remained relatively measured, indicating that the selling was concentrated in a few heavyweight stocks rather than across the broader market.

Axis Bank ended as the biggest loser, slipping 1.51% to ₹1,342, followed by State Bank of India, which declined 1.01%. Larsen & Toubro, Bajaj Auto and Adani Ports & SEZ also closed lower as investors booked profits after recent gains.

Most of the other losers registered declines of less than 1%, suggesting that the broader market sentiment remained resilient despite pockets of weakness in banking and capital goods stocks.

Market Breadth Remains Supportive

The session reflected a healthy rotation into technology and pharmaceutical stocks, with investors favouring sectors that continued to attract institutional buying. Financial stocks delivered a mixed performance, while profit booking in automobiles, banks and infrastructure names remained stock-specific rather than widespread.

The absence of sharp declines among the benchmark constituents also indicated that market sentiment stayed broadly positive heading into the weekend.

Conclusion

The Nifty 50 closed the week on a firm footing, supported by robust gains in technology and healthcare stocks. HCL Technologies emerged as the clear outperformer, while Max Healthcare, Sun Pharmaceutical and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories added further strength to the benchmark.

On the other hand, Axis Bank, State Bank of India and Larsen & Toubro led the declines, though losses across the benchmark remained relatively contained. The day’s trading underscored continued sectoral rotation, with investors shifting towards IT and healthcare while selectively booking profits in banking and capital goods stocks. Stock prices and percentage changes are as of 4:00 PM IST on July 3, 2026.
