Here's what Vikas Jain, Senior Research Analyst, Reliance Securities, recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading today:
Indiabulls Real Estate | HOLD |Target: 160
The stock witnessed a break out above its 200-week average and gained more than 15 percent with strong volumes on July 12.
We believe that the current momentum will scale to 160 levels over the next few weeks, and any decline near 118-122 levels would be a good opportunity to add the stock.
The Relative Strength Indicator (RSI) is still trading below 70, which affirms our positive stance.
Equitas Small Finance Bank | Hold |Target: 82
The stock has scaled to an all-time high crossing its previous peak of 70 with strong volumes on the back of positive news flow.
It has reversed its intraday gains to close near the low point but the trend continues to look promising for a higher target. We expect the stock to test 82 levels over the next few weeks.
The stock is holding its medium-term average but failed to break out on the higher side. It has multiple resistances in the range of 63-65 levels on the monthly charts.
We believe that one should book profit at current levels.
