Jagran Prakashan | CMP: Rs 72.9

Jagran Prakashan is in a healthy short-term uptrend. After a recent correction, the stock bounced from around Rs 66 levels, where it also formed a double bottom. This week, it managed to cross its previous swing high of Rs 72 on the back of above-average volumes and also closed above key moving averages. Momentum indicators like the 14-day RSI are also rising, which supports the continuation of the uptrend.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 78

Stop-Loss: Rs Rs 70

BHEL | CMP: Rs 221.8

Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) is in a healthy uptrend and has recently bounced from the 50-day SMA. On Tuesday, the stock also closed above its recent swing highs on the back of healthy volumes. Momentum readings such as the 14-day RSI are rising, which bodes well for the continuation of the uptrend.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 240

HDFC Life Insurance Company | CMP: Rs 704.7

Since the beginning of March 2025, HDFC Life has been steadily rising, forming higher highs and higher lows. Each decline in this upward trend toward the Ichimoku cloud's base line (red) has provided a buying opportunity, with prices consistently reversing from that level—most recently as well. Support, based on this indicator, is around Rs 660. As long as prices stay above this level, the medium-term trend is likely to remain positive. A break above Rs 710 can lift prices higher toward Rs 738, followed by Rs 767, as long as Rs 682 remains protected on the downside.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 738, Rs 767

Stop-Loss: Rs 682

PB Fintech | CMP: Rs 1,619.6

For the past two trading sessions, PB Fintech has managed to protect its prior day's low on a closing basis, which indicates increasing bullishness. On the daily chart, the 5-day EMA has crossed above the 13-day EMA— a bullish crossover that suggests the short-term bias has turned positive. Additionally, the recent rise has retraced more than 23.6% of the prior fall that began in January 2025.

A retracement to 38.2% is expected, which corresponds to Rs 1,667 and is close to the previous swing high of Rs 1,700. In summary, the trend appears to have shifted in favour of the bulls. A break above Rs 1,630 is essential for the uptrend to extend toward Rs 1,700, followed by Rs 1,755. On the downside, Rs 1,565 is the nearest support level to watch.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 1,700, Rs 1,755

Stop-Loss: Rs 1,565

Paradeep Phosphates | CMP: Rs 133

Paradeep Phosphates had been forming a rounding bottom since January 2025 on the daily timeframe. In the previous session, the stock finally gave a breakout by closing above the neckline at Rs 130.50, confirming the pattern's breakout. The ADX (Average Directional Index), which indicates trend strength, is now reading 37, suggesting strong momentum is likely to continue.

Given the sharp rise in the previous session, a "buy on dips" strategy appears prudent to ride the trend effectively. In summary, the trend for Paradeep Phosphates remains bullish. Use dips toward Rs 130–132 as a buying opportunity for a move toward Rs 143, as long as Rs 128 holds on the downside.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 143

Stop-Loss: Rs 128
