Q1 Results Live: Apollo Hospitals, HAL, IRCTC Report Today

Imagine every big company has to show its report card to everyone four times a year.

Today is one of those days.

This report is called a quarterly result, and this time it is the Q1 result.

Many big companies in India are sharing their report cards today.

Some companies, like Apollo Hospitals and HAL, are showing their numbers for the first time.

Other companies, like Manappuram Finance, already shared their report cards after the market closed on Tuesday.

Manappuram's report card looked very strong.

But PI Industries' report card was not as good as people expected.

Investors watch these report cards to decide whether to buy or sell shares.

That is why share prices can go up or down on such days.
