SBI, Titan Earnings in Focus as Indian Markets Open Flat
The stock market is a place where people buy and sell small pieces of companies.
On Friday, the Indian market went down a little bit.
This happened because the price of oil went up and people were worried about events in the Middle East.
The Nifty and Sensex, which track how most big Indian companies are doing, both closed lower.
Many companies are now telling everyone how much money they made or lost in the last three months.
State Bank of India made more money than people expected.
Titan made a lot more profit than last year.
Ola Electric still lost money, but its loss got smaller.
On Monday, companies like Vodafone Idea and Bharat Forge will share their results too.
Investors watch these numbers to decide what to do with their money.
India's Nifty 50 fell 0.32% to 24,557 and the Sensex declined 0.59% to 78,491 on Friday, pressured by rising crude oil prices and Strait of Hormuz uncertainty.
Gift Nifty futures signalled a muted-to-positive start on Monday, August 10, with Asian markets such as Japan's Nikkei 225 and South Korea's Kospi up more than 1%.
SBI reported a 10% year-on-year rise in standalone Q1 net profit to ₹21,121 crore, beating the Street estimate of ₹19,052 crore.
Titan's Q1 consolidated net profit jumped 63% YoY to ₹1,777 crore, while Ola Electric narrowed its consolidated loss to ₹336 crore.
