Trending Stocks Today, September 18, 2026: PC Jeweller Snaps Losing Streak, Vodafone Idea Continues Decline; Motisons Jewellers and Anlon Healthcare Extend Rally

Mumbai, September 18: Several stocks witnessed heightened activity on the NSE on Friday, with PC Jeweller, Vodafone Idea, Motisons Jewellers and Anlon Healthcare emerging as the most actively traded counters by volume. PC Jeweller gained, while Vodafone Idea extended its decline. Motisons Jewellers and Anlon Healthcare continued their recent rallies. 

PC Jeweller Limited (up 2.59%) 

PC Jeweller shares rose on Friday, snapping a five-session losing streak. 

The company said last Thursday it had repaid the outstanding dues of another lender under the settlement agreement reached with the consortium in September 2024. With the latest repayment, PC Jeweller has now fully settled its obligations with 11 of the 14 lenders, with each of the repayments completed ahead of the respective scheduled dates. 

The company has also significantly reduced the liabilities owed to the three lenders whose dues remain outstanding. More than 96% of the total amount payable to these lenders has already been repaid, leaving less than 4% still to be settled. 

PC Jeweller expects to clear the remaining dues during September, which would bring the company closer to its target of becoming debt-free. The company’s progress on repayments forms part of a broader balance-sheet restructuring exercise aimed at reducing its stressed debt position. 

The settlement agreement with the 14-bank consortium was designed to help PC Jeweller address its financial obligations and strengthen its balance sheet. The latest repayments represent another milestone in that process, with the company having now cleared the majority of its consortium-related debt. 

If the remaining payments are completed as planned, PC Jeweller would move significantly closer to its stated objective of becoming debt-free. The company, however, still needs to settle the outstanding amount with the three remaining lenders before reaching that milestone. 

A further reduction in debt could help lower PC Jeweller’s interest costs and debt-servicing requirements, potentially providing greater financial flexibility for its core jewellery business. 

With most of the consortium dues already settled, attention will now turn to the completion of the remaining repayments and whether the company can achieve its debt-free target within September. 

Vodafone Idea Limited (down 0.14%) 

Vodafone Idea shares fell for a fourth consecutive session on Friday after the telecom operator disclosed another penalty from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) over non-compliance with prescribed quality-of-service norms. 

In a regulatory filing on Wednesday, Vodafone Idea said TRAI had issued an order concerning its failure to meet mandated quality-of-service benchmarks across multiple service areas during November 2025. The regulator has levied a penalty of Rs 2 lakh in connection with the violations. 

Vodafone Idea said it was examining the order and would evaluate the appropriate course of action. 

The latest penalty comes shortly after a separate TRAI order disclosed by Vodafone Idea earlier this week. In that case, the regulator had directed the telecom company to pay a fine of Rs 2 lakh for failing to comply with specified quality-of-service parameters across various service areas in October 2025. 

The two orders relate to consecutive months, adding to regulatory scrutiny of Vodafone Idea’s network service standards as the company continues efforts to strengthen its operations and financial position. 

Motisons Jewellers Limited (up 2.90%) 

Motisons Jewellers continued to extended its rise for a third session on Friday, the stock having risen 15.7% over a week and 10% over a month. This year it has risen 26% while the Nifty has declined 10.8%. 

Anlon Healthcare Limited (up 9.84%)  

Anlon Healthcare shares advanced for a second straight session on Friday, extending a sharp recent rally. The stock has gained 23% over the past week, while its one-month rise stands at 64%. 

The pharmaceutical company, which manufactures pharmaceutical intermediates and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), has delivered a 62% gain so far this year.
