This week, companies like Kotak Mahindra Bank, Zee Entertainment Enterprises, Axis Bank, Larsen & Toubro, Biocon, Bank of Baroda and ICICI Bank, among others, are expected to announce their Q3 earning results.

Reliance Industries (RIL) quarterly results had missed street estimates due to weak petrochemical segment which was impacted by weak product prices and higher feedstock prices, JM Financials said.

"Revenue growth continues to be a struggle for TCS; 0.3 per cent QoQ constant currency (CC)growth in 3QFY20 was below our 0.9 per cent estimates. While part of the miss appears to be from higher impact of the seasonal furloughs," it added.
