Stocks in news: Meesho, ITC, Paytm, Nestle, Vedanta, Tata Consumer

Markets remained volatile but managed to edge higher amid mixed cues on Thursday. Analysts say the Nifty continues to hover around the long-term moving average, the 200 DEMA, with the ongoing tussle reflecting indecision at these levels.

"Having crossed the immediate hurdle around 25,350, the index now appears poised to inch towards the 25,600 zone. Strength in the banking index is playing a key role in the rebound, with other sectors providing support on a rotational basis," said Ajit Mishra of Religare Broking.

In today's trade, shares of Meesho, ITC, Paytm, Nestle, Vedanta, Tata Consumer among others will be in focus due to various news developments and third quarter results.
