The stock opened at ₹284.45 and climbed to an intraday high of ₹292.55, emerging as one of the top gainers in the market.

Businesses Driving ITC's Growth
ITC highlighted the strong performance of several group companies, including:
ITC Infotech
Surya Nepal
Sproutlife Foods
ITC Hotels
The diversified nature of ITC's business continues to support revenue growth despite margin pressure in certain segments.
Why Are ITC Shares Rising?
Market participants appear to be focusing on the company's long-term growth prospects rather than the temporary decline in quarterly profits.
Positive factors supporting the stock include:
Strong growth in consolidated revenue
Robust performance across non-cigarette businesses
Continued expansion of ITC Hotels and FMCG segments
Healthy contribution from ITC Infotech
Investor confidence in the company's diversified business model
What Could Be the Next Target for ITC Shares?
After reclaiming the ₹290 level, technical analysts believe ITC could witness further upside if buying momentum continues.
Key Technical Levels
Immediate Resistance: ₹295–₹300
Next Major Target: ₹305–₹315
Immediate Support: ₹282–₹285
A sustained move above ₹300 could strengthen bullish sentiment and pave the way for higher levels, while failure to hold above ₹290 may invite short-term profit booking.
