stocks to buy today: Titan, Vedanta among 12 stock ideas that analysts say can deliver gains in a few weeks

[ad_1]

Mumbai: As equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty continue to scale new highs every second week, analysts are divided on their market outlook for the weeks ahead. Stock selection would be crucial from here on, they say.

Sensex and Nifty scaled record highs last week on the back of continued foreign fund inflows, as risk appetite improved following an agreement on the Phase One of US–China trade deal. However, RBI’s pause on key policy rate capped the gains. For the week, Sensex rose 1.64 per cent while Nifty added 1.53 per cent.

The market has been witnessing rotation of sectors as well as stocks. “This is something we have been observing over the past three months,” says Kunj Bansal, Partner, MD & CIO, Sarthi Group. “It is becoming difficult to see where the market is headed and what shape and position it will take going forward.”

But most analysts agree the market is teeming with stock-specific opportunities. Based on the recommendations of some of the top analysts on Dalal Street, we picked 12 stock ideas that they said are likely to deliver solid gains over next few weeks.

Britannia | Buy | Price target Rs 3,370| Stop loss Rs 3,027


Price action on this counter appears to be quite encouraging, as it is in a consolidation mode for last four weeks after retracing around 62 per cent of its last leg of rally from the low of Rs 2,835. Moreover, it closed above its narrow consolidation band at Rs 3,115 – 3,025 in the last session. Hence, if it sustains above Rs 3,030 level, it shall eventually head towards its interim top at Rs 3,399, the analyst said. He advised traders to buy the stock for a target of Rs 3,370 with a stop loss placed below Rs 3,027 on a closing basis.

Titan| Buy| Target price Rs 1,270 | Stop loss Rs 1,149


Friday’s price action on this counter on much higher volumes is clearly suggesting that it has bottomed out at the recent low of Rs 1,123. After registering a huge bearish gap in the Rs 1,277 – 1,199 zone on November 6, this counter slipped into the consolidation between Rs 1,199 and Rs 1,130 levels for five weeks. With last Friday’s strong comeback, the analyst believes the stock has positioned for a pullback rally. In that scenario, it shall eventually move ahead towards Rs 1,277 level to bridge the said bearish gap. The analyst advised positional traders to adopt a two-pronged strategy of buying now and adding further on declines in the Rs 1,180 – 1,170 zone for a target of Rs 1,270. The stop loss suggested for the trade is a close below Rs 1,149 level.

Corporation Bank | Buy| Target price Rs 28| Stop loss Rs 24


This counter appears to be consolidating for last 18 sessions in the Rs 27 – 23 band after witnessing sporadic rise from the lows of Rs 15-29 in just four sessions. Friday’s price action, at the lower end of consolidation band, on the back of huge volumes suggested that this counter is positioning itself for a resumption of the up-move. In such a scenario, it shall initially head to test its recent swing high of Rs 29, the analyst believes. He advised positional traders to buy this stock with a stop loss below Rs 24 on closing basis and for a target of Rs 28.
