🏛️ Indian Bank & SAIL (Public Banking / Infrastructure Metals)
Vaishali Parekh, Vice President of Technical Research at PL Capital, spotlighted a clear accumulation setup in the banking index. She noted that Indian Bank presents a healthy risk-to-reward ratio, aiming for an immediate upside of nearly 4% from its current mark. Additionally, Parekh highlighted SAIL as a strong cyclical metal play, establishing a target zone of ₹175 while advising tight risk management at ₹160 to hedge against global commodity volatility.
✈️ Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. (Defence Lead-In)
Shrikant Chouhan, Executive Vice President and Head of Equity Research at Kotak Securities, pointed to continued structural strength in large-cap defence. HAL remains backed by heavily packed order books. Chouhan suggests a near-term tactical target of ₹4,500, instructing momentum traders to safely exit the position if the stock breaches the key technical floor of ₹4,340.
📦 PG Electroplast & Marico (Consumer Durables / FMCG Stability)
Ajit Mishra, SVP of Research at Religare Broking, directed attention to strong consumption demand indicators. He designated PG Electroplast as an aggressive mid-cap manufacturing pick with a target extension pointing to ₹620. For defensive portfolio positioning, Mishra backed consumer staple giant Marico Ltd., setting an upside target of ₹900 to capitalize on steady rural volume recoveries.
