We advise traders to accumulate the stock in the range of ₹90 – 92 with a stop loss of ₹81 (daily closing basis) for an upside target of ₹111, brokerage firm Anand Rathi said in its note.
The insurance stock rose over 5% in a month but from a 3-month perspective, it is down by more than 8%. It recently reclaimed 50-DMA placed at 602 earlier in March 2024. The stock closed at Rs 620 on 11 March 2024. On the weekly charts, the stock reclaimed 50 and 200-week moving averages last week, which suggests that bulls are here to stay.
Axis believes that the said recovery will begin at the start of the new year and FY25 will show strong revenue growth. The brokerage has picked Coforge, Persistent Systems, and KPIT Technologies as its top IT sector picks post the December quarter (Q3FY24) results.
Retail companies have reported mixed performance, with premium retailers sustaining their growth momentum. However, value retailers continued to face pressure, noted the brokerage. Trent and Westlife Foodworld are the top picks of Axis Securities in the retail space post Q3FY24 results.
The stock hit a fresh 52-week high of Rs 1,741 on December 15, 2023, but failed to hold on to the momentum. It slipped below the 50-DMA in February on the daily chart but found some support above the 200-DMA. It is also trading in a 15-year-old Rising Channel pattern on the monthly charts. The recent selloff pushed the stock towards the support zone of the channel. Hence, a technical bounceback could be on the cards.
