Gaurang Shah, Sr.Vice President, Geojit Financial Services Ltd

Extremely positive about the sector that is alco beverages, and Radico Khaitan happens to be one of the oldest players, having some very strong and powerful brands, which has actually gained a decent amount of market share and the consumer loyalty or a product recall is very high as far as far as some of the products of Radico Khaitan is concerned. Having said that, like I mentioned, we are positive on the sector. We like United Spirits as a disclosure, but Radico Khaitan is a very strong player. And the good part about this investment on the day is that the gentleman got in at a very decent level. Won’t give specific, since we don’t have coverage.

The overall trend still seems to be positive. Recently, we did see some price wise correction from that high of ₹3,500 to ₹2,600 but the stock seems to have formed a good support base around the recent close. Surpassed its important 50 and 200 EMA in last few trading sessions, and we can clearly see the volumes increasing along with the price. So, this just seems to be a resumption of the broader uptrend after a corrective phase. Technically, if we take the retracement then it gives us a price target somewhere around ₹3,650 so for a potential target of ₹3,650 one should hold on. Maybe can take a review again around those levels.

Here are a couple of stock recommendations by Rajesh Palviya, VP Technical and Derivative Research Axis Securities, Axis Securities:

Buy Jindal Steel with a stop loss of ₹1,265 and a target of ₹1,340-1,350

Buy ABB India with a stop loss of ₹7,170 and a target of ₹7,400-7,500
