Best Stock Picks for Today: Recommendations for May 29
According to Aakash K Hindocha, Deputy Vice President of WM Research at Nuvama Professional Clients Group, investors should consider Chennai Petroleum Corporation, LTIMindtree, and Zydus Lifesciences as top stock picks for today. Hindocha provided insights on the current market trends, including the performance of the Nifty and Bank Nifty indices, as well as specific recommendations for each stock.
Nifty Index Performance
The Nifty index has remained relatively stable over the past nine trading days, fluctuating within a narrow 2% range. Despite this stability, the index has faced resistance at the 25,000 mark, which has been a significant supply point for non-index long positions. Analysts suggest that unless the Nifty closes above 25,050, there is a potential downside risk, with targets set at 24,300 and 24,100. The index has experienced a notable 15% increase over the last six weeks without a significant correction of 2%. Given the recent price movements, a retest of the 200-day moving average support, currently below 24,100, appears likely.
Bank Nifty Trends
The Bank Nifty index has recently broken its six-week rising trendline, indicating a shift in market dynamics. This breakdown suggests that the index may retest its polarity support, which aligns with a five-year rising trendline. Analysts predict a potential decline of 1,200 to 1,500 points from the current market price. However, this bearish outlook could be negated if the index manages to close above 55,600. Investors are advised to monitor these levels closely as they could signal significant shifts in market sentiment.
Stock Recommendations
Chennai Petroleum Corporation (CHENNPETRO) is recommended as a buy with a lower cost price (LCP) of 719.05, a stop loss at 681, and a target of 777. The stock has shown a bullish head and shoulder breakout on both daily and weekly charts, indicating a potential for further upward movement after a period of consolidation.
LTIMindtree (LTIM) is also a buy recommendation, with an LCP of 5,099, a stop loss at 4,950, and a target of 5,525. After hitting a three-year low in April, the stock has rebounded significantly, gaining 25% since then. It has consistently outperformed the NIFTYIT index, which has seen a decline of over 13% year-to-date.
Zydus Lifesciences (ZYDUSLIFE) is another stock to watch, with an LCP of 925.60, a stop loss at 888, and a target of 980. The stock has recently closed at a two-month high after breaking out from a falling trendline that had been in place since August 2024. The formation of higher lows suggests that further upward momentum is likely, with a potential resistance point near the 200-day moving average at around 980.
