Top Stock Picks for February 2025
As the stock market continues to evolve, investors are always on the lookout for promising opportunities. Today, Aakash K Hindocha, Deputy Vice President of WM Research at Nuvama Professional Clients Group, has shared his top stock recommendations. His insights focus on three key stocks: Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd, L&T Finance Ltd, and Tech Mahindra. Additionally, he provides an analysis of the Nifty and Bank Nifty indices, highlighting their recent performance and future potential.
Nifty Index: A Bullish Outlook
The Nifty index has recently shown signs of a short covering rally. After closing above 23,000 last week, it has reached a fresh one-month high. This upward movement is significant as it indicates a bullish head and shoulder breakout on the daily charts. The index found support at the five-year trendline, specifically between the 22,800 and 22,650 levels. Currently, the Nifty is on track to test its 200-day moving average resistance, which lies just above the 24,000 mark.
Investors are advised to consider buying on dips, especially near the 23,600 level. This strategy allows them to participate in the ongoing short covering rally. The market sentiment appears to be shifting positively, and the Nifty’s recent performance suggests that it may continue to rise. As the index approaches its resistance levels, traders should remain vigilant and ready to capitalize on any opportunities that arise.
Bank Nifty: Strong Buyer Interest
The Bank Nifty index has been experiencing increased buyer interest, largely due to macroeconomic actions taken by the central bank. These actions aim to infuse liquidity into the financial system, which has positively impacted market sentiment. The Bank Nifty has entered a “buy on dip” mode since forming a double bottom on the daily charts last week.
Currently, a wide “W” pattern breakout is visible on the daily charts, with targets set to reach between 50,500 and 50,850 on the upside. Dips near the 49,800 level are seen as ideal buying opportunities. The Bank Nifty has also closed at a four-week high, indicating strong momentum. Investors should keep an eye on this index as it continues to show resilience and potential for further gains.
Stock Recommendations: Aditya Birla, L&T Finance, and Tech Mahindra
Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd (BUY)
Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd (ABFRL) is one of the top picks for today. The stock has recently broken out of a four-month sloping trendline on the daily charts. Additionally, a “W” formation breakout has been observed, with the stock closing at a one-month high. The current price is around 283.75, with a stop-loss set at 278 and a target of 305. This target represents a potential upside of 6-9% from the current market price, with resistance expected at the 200-day moving average.
L&T Finance Ltd (BUY)
L&T Finance Ltd (LTF) is another strong recommendation. The stock has shown a range breakout after trading within a rectangular range for the past quarter. The current price is approximately 152.86, with a stop-loss at 146 and a target of 160. Given the positive tailwinds in the sector, LTF could see an additional 5-7% upside as it approaches the RBI policy scheduled for later this week.
Tech Mahindra (BUY)
Tech Mahindra is also on the list of recommended stocks. The stock has taken polarity support earlier this week, with strong market sentiment backing it. The current price is around 1,661, with a stop-loss at 1,604 and a target of 1,765. This target is achievable as the stock has shown resilience and potential for a reversal trade.
