Experts Advise: Buy On Dips for BEL, Marico; Sell PNB
Overview

Experts from Profitmart Securities and Angel One offered stock insights on NDTV Profit's 'Ask Profit'. They recommend holding Suzlon Energy for 12-18 months, advising 'Buy on Dips' for Bharat Electronics Ltd. and Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd. Punjab National Bank investors were urged to book partial profits, while Wipro was flagged as an 'Avoid'. Samvardhana Motherson received a 'Buy' rating, and Marico was advised 'Buy On Dips'.

Defence Sector Picks

Investors seeking exposure to the defence sector received specific guidance. Bharat Electronics Ltd. (BEL), currently trading around ₹412.80, was recommended for 'Buy on Dips' by Aamar Deo Singh, senior vice president of research at Angel One Ltd. He suggested that the stock, a consistent performer in the defence space, presents an opportunity for accumulation when prices fall, with potential upside seen around ₹440-₹450.
Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd., priced at ₹2,431, also drew a 'Buy on Dips' call. Singh noted current consolidation and selling pressure, indicating that a dip to around ₹2,100 could offer a favourable entry point for investors.

Banking Sector Caution

Avinash Gorakshakar, director of research at Profitmart Securities, advised a partial exit from Punjab National Bank (PNB) stock, which trades at ₹128.05. He suggested booking profits on approximately 25-30% of holdings, while retaining the remainder. Gorakshakar anticipates a strong comeback for Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) banks by FY27, signaling positive long-term prospects.

IT Sector Divergence

The IT sector presented a mixed picture, with Wipro Ltd. (CMP: ₹245.95) being singled out for caution. Gorakshakar termed Wipro an 'Avoid', citing its underperformance within the IT pack and uninspiring guidance. He contrasted this with positive commentary from peers like HCLTech, Infosys, and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), suggesting investors consider adding Infosys shares instead.

Auto Ancillary Outlook

Samvardhana Motherson International Ltd., trading at ₹112.33, received a direct 'Buy' recommendation from Gorakshakar. He highlighted strong tailwinds in the automotive sector, predicting a rewarding period for passenger car vendors over the next six to twelve months, from which the company is expected to benefit significantly, despite potential short-term volatility.

FMCG and Energy Sector Views

In the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) space, Marico Ltd. (CMP: ₹760) was recommended for 'Buy on Dips' by Singh. He identified ₹720 as a good entry point for investors looking to gain exposure to the sector, noting that while the stock has rallied, corrections offer buying opportunities. For Suzlon Energy Ltd. (CMP: ₹47.98), Gorakshakar recommended a 'Hold' stance for the next 12-18 months. Despite a significant recent correction, he pointed to the company's record order book as a strong indicator for long-term investment.
