Technical analysts Mitessh Thakkar and Sudarshan Sukhani, along with Manoj Murlidharan, VP-Derivatives at Religare Broking share their top stock picks for the day.
NSE
From Sudarshan Sukhani
Sukhani finds a buying opportunity in Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL). He advises traders to keep a stop loss of Rs 215. Shares have declined over 3 percent in the last month.
NBCC is another buy call from Sudarshan Sukhani as it seems to be giving a sense that it is now ready for the big move on the upside. Stop Loss is to be placed at Rs 34.50. The stock has gained over 3 percent in the last month.
Sukhani's only intraday short is on Dabur India as it has been underperforming. He advises a stop loss of Rs 537. Shares of Dabur India have remained flat for the past month.
Lastly, Sukhani recommends a buy on Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL). He doesn’t give a stop loss for RIL because he believes traders will have to take this as a positional trade. So if there is an intraday correction or a dip, which is possible today, one should go and buy RIL. Shares have gained over 2 percent over the last month.
From Mitessh Thakkar
Mitessh Thakkar's first buy call of the day is on Eicher Motors. He recommends this with a stop loss below Rs 3,174 for an upside target of Rs 3,260. Shares have remained flat in the last month.
