Oct 21 (Reuters) -Indian shares reversed early gains on Monday, as broad-basedprofit-booking overpowered a post-results rally in top private lender HDFC Bank.
The NSE Nifty 50 .NSEI fell 0.27% to 24,787.7 points as of 10:21 a.m. IST, while the BSE Sensex .BSESN shed 0.1% to 81,148.66 points. They had gained about 0.4% near the open.
HDFC Bank HDBK.NS, the heaviest-weighted stock on the Nifty, rose 3.5% after posting September-quarter earnings above expectations. It helped lift the financials sector .NIFTYFIN.
But all the other sectoral indexes logged losses and 38 Nifty 50 constituents declined as the largely disappointing quarterly earnings season continued.
Kotak Mahindra Bank KTKM.NS fell 6% after reporting a sequential margin contraction and asset quality deterioration. Tata Consumer Products TACN.NS shed 8.4% after its core margins fell short of most analysts' estimates.
"With an interplay of sustained foreign outflows and lacklustre earnings season, profit booking could continue further in domestic equities," said Feroze Azeez, deputy chief executive officer at Anand Rathi Wealth.
The Nifty 50 gained about 15% in the last four months, helped by policy continuity and macroeconomic stability.
However, since hitting a record high on Sept. 27, it has shed 5.6%, largely due to the exodus of foreign funds from India to China.
"The "sell India, buy China" strategy of foreign investors on the back of China stimulus measures is likely to be a short-term phenomenon and the quality of earnings will drive buying interest on a stock-specific basis as the results season unfolds," Azeez said.
Among individual stocks, RBL Bank RATB.NS lost 13% after reporting its quarterly profit and net interest margin fell due to an adverse loan mix.
Among the few bright spots, IT major Tech Mahindra TEML.NS also rose 2.5% after reporting a growth in quarterly revenue.
JM Financial JMSH.NS rose 3.5% after the central bank lifted its ban on the investment banker and brokerage services provider's unit, JM Financial Products.
