Analyst Names 3 Top Stock Picks as Indian Markets Face Headwinds
Overview

Market recap shows Indian equity markets closed lower Tuesday, with Sensex down 376 points and Nifty off 72. Analyst Raja Venkatraman highlights three buy recommendations: Marico, Divi's Laboratories, and PNB Housing Finance, citing technical strengths and potential for upside movement despite broader market weakness.

Market Recap

Indian equity markets concluded Tuesday's session on a subdued note. The benchmark Sensex shed 376 points to close at 85,063, while the Nifty fell 72 points, settling at 26,179. Market breadth leaned negative, with broader weakness reflected in a 2:3 advance-decline ratio. Reliance Industries saw its sharpest single-day decline in ten months, impacting indices, while Trent tumbled 8% following disappointing Q2 revenue figures. ITC also extended losses, hitting a two-year low.

Analyst's Top Picks

Raja Venkatraman, co-founder of NeoTrader, has identified three stocks for investors to consider. Marico, a leading consumer goods company, is recommended for buying above ₹780, with a stop loss at ₹755 and a one-month target price of ₹825. The stock has shown encouraging upmoves after six months of range-bound trading, signaling strong bullish potential.

Divi's Laboratories, a major pharmaceutical player, is another pick. Venkatraman suggests going long above ₹6,650, setting a stop loss at ₹6,550 and a target of ₹6,950 within a month. A strong breakout candle on Tuesday indicates a new trend possibility, supported by rising ADX and DI indicators.

Punjab National Bank Housing Finance (PNB Housing Finance) is recommended for a buy above ₹1,010, with a stop loss of ₹995 and a target of ₹1,040. The stock is showing signs of emerging upward traction after a period of consolidation, with ADX signaling steady momentum.
