The firms have selected stocks like ICICI Bank Ltd, Premier Energies, YES Bank, Larsen & Toubro Ltd (L&T), and Oriental Hotels Ltd, citing strong technical charts and sound market parameters.
Brokerage Recommendations for Short-Term Gains
Here’s a detailed look at what brokerage firms have advised on these counters:
ICICI Bank
SMC Global Securities recommends a conditional buy for ICICI Bank above the breakout level of Rs 1,360, setting a target price range of Rs 1,470-1,480 with a stop loss below Rs 1,290. The bank's stock is showing signs of a potential trend reversal, having rebounded strongly from a higher low formation around the Rs 1,220–1,230 zone. It has reclaimed the intermediate resistance near Rs 1,300 and moved above its long-term moving average, indicating improving sentiment. Momentum indicators like RSI and MACD support a strengthening bullish undertone.
Larsen & Toubro (L&T)
Ashika Stock Broking maintains a 'Buy' rating for Larsen & Toubro, setting a target price of Rs 4,650, which implies an upside potential of 10.5%. L&T remains technically strong, exhibiting a higher high-higher low formation on both daily and weekly charts, signaling a sustained uptrend. The stock is currently in a healthy consolidation phase after a sharp rally and trades above its key moving averages, reflecting positive sentiment. Momentum indicators also remain supportive.
Premier Energies
BP Equities recommends 'Buy' for Premier Energies Ltd, with a target price range of Rs 1,075-1,085 and a stop loss at Rs 1,010. The stock continues to show a strong bullish structure, forming a sequence of higher highs and higher lows since its February lows. It trades above the short-term moving average cloud and the rising 50-day moving average, which acts as a crucial dynamic support zone. A decisive breakout above the immediate hurdle at Rs 1,105 could trigger fresh momentum.
Oriental Hotels
SMC Global Securities suggests accumulating Oriental Hotels in the range of Rs 115-120, targeting Rs 140-145 with a stop loss below Rs 104. The stock is exhibiting an Inverse Head and Shoulders formation on the weekly chart, a pattern often associated with medium-term trend reversals. It has rebounded from the head near Rs 80 and recently broke above the neckline resistance near Rs 118–120, reclaiming its long-term moving average.
YES Bank
Ashika Stock Broking recommends a 'Buy' for YES Bank Ltd, setting a target price of Rs 29, indicating an upside potential of 14.1%.
