For Monday, 5 October 2026, the reported watch list centers on HDFC Bank, YES Bank, Bajaj Finance, Hindustan Zinc, Bharat Coking Coal, RVNL, Punjab National Bank, DLF, Indian Bank and IDBI Bank. Livemint’s 4 October preview cited leadership, business updates, a proposed fundraising issue, production figures, a regulatory warning, a cancelled project award and property sales. Its report does not establish why DMart or a broader group of auto stocks is in focus, so those headline references cannot be tied to a specific catalyst here.
What is behind the named stocks?
The items below are reported by Livemint in its 4 October 2026 day-ahead article. They describe events or figures to monitor, not recommendations or predictions of share-price moves.
HDFC Bank: leadership appointment
Livemint reported that HDFC Bank appointed Anup Bagchi as managing director and chief executive officer after Reserve Bank of India approval for a three-year term. The report is the basis for this account; the underlying bank or regulatory disclosure has not been independently checked here.
YES Bank: loan growth
According to Livemint, YES Bank’s loans and advances stood at ₹3.1 lakh crore on 30 September 2026, nearly 24% above ₹2.5 lakh crore a year earlier. The comparison is year over year and the balance is as of 30 September, not a full-quarter result.

Bajaj Finance: proposed warrant issue
Livemint said the board approved a preferential issue of warrants convertible into an equivalent number of equity shares, with the total issue size capped at ₹5,800 crore. This is an approved proposal, not completed fundraising; the reported cap should not be read as proceeds already received.
Production, regulatory, project and property updates
Hindustan Zinc and Bharat Coking Coal: September production
- Livemint reported Hindustan Zinc mined metal production of 271 kilotonnes, up 5% year over year, and saleable metal production of 264 kilotonnes, up 7%.
- For Bharat Coking Coal, Livemint reported September raw coal production of 2.57 million tonnes, up 20.7% from 2.13 million tonnes a year earlier.
RVNL: cancelled letter of acceptance
Livemint reported that a letter of acceptance issued to Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) was cancelled. The report identifies a project/order-related development; it does not provide enough detail here to assess the financial effect.
Punjab National Bank: SEBI administrative warning
Livemint said the Securities and Exchange Board of India issued PNB an administrative warning concerning alleged insider-trading-rule violations involving six individuals. An administrative warning and allegations should not be presented as a finding that the bank or the individuals committed a violation.
DLF: The Aureva sales
Livemint reported that DLF sold out The Aureva and recorded sales of around ₹1,985 crore. The figure is the report’s stated sales amount; the available account does not provide further detail on timing or recognition.
Bank business updates
- Indian Bank: Livemint reported total business of ₹15.96 lakh crore, up 14.2% year over year and 4.4% sequentially.
- IDBI Bank: Livemint reported total business of ₹6.27 lakh crore, up 18% year over year.
These are total-business figures as reported by Livemint, not loan-growth measures. Its 4 October article is a secondary report; company or exchange disclosures are the appropriate primary sources for verification.
DMart and auto stocks: catalyst not established
The available evidence does not establish a specific 4 October catalyst for DMart or identify which automobile companies are meant by the headline’s “auto stocks” reference. NSE identifies Avenue Supermarts Limited under the symbol DMART and records a Q1 FY2026–27 filing and a July investor presentation, but those records do not establish a link to this particular Monday watch list: NSE: Avenue Supermarts (DMART).
An NSE filing search shows a Bajaj Auto press release dated 1 October, but the available excerpt does not state its contents. It is not a basis for inferring September vehicle sales or extending the list to other auto shares: NSE corporate filings and announcements.

How to use a one-day watch list
- Check the company or exchange filing for the original disclosure, especially for regulatory matters and proposed fundraising.
- Distinguish a reported operating result from a proposal, appointment, warning or cancelled award; they are different kinds of catalysts.
- Use the stated measurement date and comparison period when assessing business or production figures.
- Treat the list as a prompt for further research, not as a buy or sell signal. It is specific to the 5 October 2026 session and quickly loses relevance after that date.
