Leading brokerage firms have identified four stocks that are showing strong technical setups for short-term gains. Whether you are looking at the realty sector, IT giants, or niche e-commerce players, analysts from Kotak Securities, IIFL Capital, and others have released fresh “Buy” ratings with specific targets for the coming days.
Navigating market volatility can be tricky, but expert picks often help cut through the noise. Here is a detailed look at the top four stock recommendations that are buzzing on Dalal Street right now, ranging from heavyweights like HCL Tech to market favorites like BSE.
Heavyweights in Focus: Lodha Developers and HCL Tech
First up on the radar is the realty major, Lodha Developers (Macrotech Developers). Analysts at Kotak Securities have issued a buying recommendation for this BSE 200 stock. Currently trading around ₹1070.50, the stock has seen a correction of over 10% in the last six months, making the entry point attractive. Kotak has set a target price between ₹1100 and ₹1130 for a short 5-day horizon, with a strict stop loss at ₹1055.
On the technology front, HCL Technologies is showing bullish signs. Brokerage firm IIFL Capital has flagged a “Buy” rating on the IT giant. According to their technical analysis, the stock has demonstrated a positive MACD crossover on the daily charts, signaling a short-term rounding bottom breakout. This momentum is expected to push the stock toward a target of ₹1755 within the next 6 days. The stock has already rallied over 12% in the last three months, showing significant strength.
The Hidden Gem: Eternal’s E-Commerce Potential
For those looking at the broader market, brokerage Religare Broking has placed a bet on the e-retail and e-commerce company, ETERNAL. The advice is to accumulate the stock in the buying range of ₹292-₹294. While the stock has dipped nearly 17.5% over the last quarter, its long-term performance is impressive, delivering returns of 115% and 445% over the last two years respectively.
Religare expects a bounce-back, setting a target price of ₹319 for a holding period of 5 to 7 trading sessions. With a 52-week high of ₹368.40, there is plenty of room for recovery if the momentum shifts back in its favor.
Betting on the Exchange: BSE Limited
Finally, the stock exchange itself is in the spotlight. Mirae Asset Sharekhan has recommended buying BSE Ltd. Currently trading at ₹2,802.80, this debt-free company has been a multibagger for many. The brokerage has set an ambitious short-term target of ₹2920 to ₹2990 for a 1-5 day period.
Investors are advised to maintain a stop loss at ₹2780 to manage risk. With a 52-week high of ₹3,030, the stock is trading near its peak levels, suggesting strong buyer interest.
