Best Stock Picks for Today: Investment Recommendations for May 15
According to Aakash K Hindocha, Deputy Vice President of WM Research at Nuvama Professional Clients Group, investors should consider Havells, Adani Energy Solutions Ltd, and HCL Technologies Ltd as top stock picks for today. The market has shown significant movement recently, with the Nifty index recovering from a three-week low to reach a six-month high, indicating a potential shift in trading ranges. This article explores the current market outlook and key stock recommendations for May 15, 2025.
Market Overview: Nifty and Bank Nifty
The Nifty index has experienced a remarkable turnaround, moving from a three-week low to a six-month high. This shift has broken the previous trading range of 23,900 to 24,400, establishing a new range between 24,400 and 25,400. The recent gains can be attributed to a ceasefire agreement announced over the weekend, coupled with a temporary resolution on tariffs between the U.S. and China, which has positively influenced global equities. As a result, 24,400 now serves as a fresh support level, while targets for the upside are set at 24,900 and 25,400.
In contrast, the Bank Nifty index has reversed its course from a five-year trendline’s polarity support, completing its initial downside target. A closing below the 53,500 mark could signal further downside potential. However, for the current week, the index is expected to trade within a range of 54,500 to 55,900, maintaining a positive bias.
Top Stock Picks: Havells, Adani Energy Solutions, and HCL Technologies
Havells is recommended as a buy with a lower cost price (LCP) of 1,598.20, a stop loss at 1,550, and a target of 1,705. The stock is breaking out from a bullish flag formation and is attempting to reach its 200-day moving average (DMA) resistance near the 1,700 mark. The formation of higher lows indicates that sellers are losing control, allowing buyers to emerge on dips.
Adani Energy Solutions Ltd is also a buy, with an LCP of 890.80, a stop loss at 868, and a target of 990. The stock has shown repeated higher low formations and has reclaimed its 200 DMA, suggesting further upside potential. After consolidating in a base formation for the past 26 months, initial signs indicate a possible 10% upside.
HCL Technologies is another stock to watch, with an LCP of 1,637.70, a stop loss at 1,588, and a target of 1,730. The stock has formed an inverted head and shoulder pattern on daily charts, breaking out of the neckline around the 1,600 level. The formation of higher lows suggests that this breakout may lead to targets near the 200 DMA resistance, which is situated between 1,725 and 1,735.
