Markets saw sharp trading action as Trent tumbled over 8% after underwhelming Q3 updates, cooling sentiment. Groww swung from early gains on a bullish brokerage note to later reversal.

Fintech platform Groww has granted 24.32 lakh employee stock options worth about Rs 51 crore, following a standout Q4 FY26. The company reported an 87% jump in revenue and a more than doubling of net profit. With a lean team, Groww is also leaning into AI to speed up product development, signaling ambitious growth plans.
