On Business Today TV's "What's Hot," Expert Prashanth Tapse from Mehta Equities discussed festive market cheer amid Nifty's positive start at ~26,135. Key highlights included Shriram Finance's surge following MUFG Bank's ~₹39,618 crore investment for a 20% stake, with brokerages like Jefferies, Motilal Oswal and Citi issuing buy ratings and targets up to ₹1,100, citing capital boost and growth potential. They cautioned on volatility from ₹11,900 crore share unlocks in 16 recent IPOs. Tapsee recommended five "Santa stocks" for 2026 gains: Reliance Industries, Ather Energy, CEAT, Polycab, and Lenskart.
