Market expert Pradip Halder, founder and CEO at PHD Capital, has provided his latest insights on several Indian stocks, including a cautious outlook on Newgen Software Technologies Ltd. In an exclusive interview with Business Today Television, Halder discussed the potential trajectory for Newgen, NLC India, Senco Gold, and Kalyan Jewellers India Ltd.
Newgen Software: A 'Dead Cat Bounce'?
Halder characterized the recent surge in Newgen Software shares as a 'dead cat bounce.' He advised traders to consider an exit, suggesting a 'Sell on rise' strategy. This assessment comes after the stock experienced positive momentum, partly attributed to recent management changes, including an upcoming new CEO.
However, Halder noted that Newgen's performance in recent quarters has been subpar, leading to selling pressure. He highlighted that despite the sharp rise on Friday, the underlying performance issues suggest the rally may not be sustainable.
Outlook on Other Key Stocks
NLC India Ltd.
For NLC India, Halder recommended investors 'stay put.' He set a stop loss at Rs 290, with initial price targets of Rs 338, potentially extending to Rs 368-370 within the next one to two months, indicating a positive short-to-medium term outlook.
Senco Gold Ltd.
Senco Gold also received a 'stay put' recommendation from Halder. Citing healthy recent business updates, he believes the stock has the potential to reach levels between Rs 435 and Rs 450. Traders are advised to maintain a stop loss at Rs 322.
Kalyan Jewellers India Ltd.
Despite market uncertainties, Kalyan Jewellers has seen a significant rally. Halder advised against shorting the stock, noting that it remains more than 50 percent down from its all-time high, making the current upward movement a normal correction after a substantial decline. He suggested that a short position would only be advisable if the stock falls below Rs 450, potentially leading to a move towards Rs 415. However, based on the current chart setup, Halder sees the potential for the stock to test Rs 495-Rs 500 on the upside.
