Nifty 50 gained 0.9% across the five sessions ending 3 July to close at 24,270.8, though the index remains below its 200-day average and 7.8% off its 52-week high — the advance is real but the recovery is still incomplete. Breadth improved steadily: the share of stocks above their 200-day average widened from 41% to 44% over the week, and the Stage-2 cohort grew by 31 names to 786 stocks, now 35.1% of the market. Fifty-two stocks moved from Stage 1 into Stage 2 against 24 moving from Stage 2 into Stage 3, a net inflow of 28 — the healthiest weekly transition count in the current run. The broader regime reads bull rising, holding that label for a 23rd consecutive day, with the near-term read neutral-to-up.
How the week was distributed across sectors
Real Estate was the clear weekly leader, up 7.2% for the five sessions — a continuation of a move that has now compounded to +36.6% over three months, the strongest three-month return on the board. Health Care added 3.2% for the week and Communication Services 2.9%, rounding out the top three. At the other end, Utilities slipped 0.7% and Industrials gave back 0.5% on the week, even as Industrials holds a strong three-month return of 29.4% — the week's softness looks like consolidation within a broader advance rather than deterioration. Energy remains the only sector in negative territory over three months, down 2.3%.
The sectors where the Stage-2 cohort is expanding fastest over the past 20 days are Health Care, Financials and Materials — in that order. Health Care and Financials also sit among the top three one-month sector performers at +7.7% each, so the structural and near-term reads are aligned there. Materials is the quieter story: it did not lead on the week but its Stage-2 expansion has been among the broadest, and 193 stocks closed the week at fresh 52-week highs against only 48 at new lows, a net of +145 — a figure that supports the improving-breadth read.
What the screener flagged this week
Eight names cleared the fresh-breakout screen across the week. The highest-scoring among them was Nelco Ltd (Information Technology, setup score 8.4), which also appears in the week's Stage 1→2 transition list — it both broke out and formally entered Stage 2 in the same five-session window. Western India Plywoods Ltd (Materials, 8.2) and Greaves Cotton Ltd (Industrials, 8.0) follow, with Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy Ltd (Industrials, 7.8) and NACL Industries Ltd (Materials, 7.8) also clearing the screen. GeeCee Ventures Ltd (Real Estate, 6.8) is the lone Real Estate name in the breakout list, appearing as the sector's weekly strength filtered through to individual names.
Among the week's Stage 1→2 transitions, Beta Drugs Ltd (Health Care, 9.4) and Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd (Communication Services, 8.8) carry the two highest setup scores — both sectors that led on the week. Jash Engineering Ltd (Industrials, 8.4) and Kirloskar Industries Ltd (Financials, 8.4) also made the transition with identical scores. On the sustained-setups side — names that have held Stage-2 structure across multiple sessions — S.P. Apparels Ltd (Consumer Discretionary) and MSTC Ltd (Industrials) both score 9.4, the joint-highest in that list, with Shiv Aum Steels Ltd (Industrials, 9.3), Va Tech Wabag Ltd (Utilities, 9.2) and IND Swift Laboratories Ltd (Health Care, 9.2) close behind.
