The stock’s chart, however, does not scream “buy” at this point of time, say analysts.
“It has a very short technical history as it is a recent listing. However, from whatever historical data that is available, it appears that the stock has shown a strong move after consolidation between 89-99 levels,” said Milan Vaishnav, founder of Gemstone Equity Research.
It is trading at Rs 128, the looks to be heading to its previous high of Rs 139. It is at this point that the stock may find some resistance. It trading in the overbought zone, he added.
Tips2Trade’s AR Ramachandran, a Sebi-registered analyst, agreed. “The stock price is currently overbought and hence buyers should book partial profits at current levels or keep a strict stoploss of 114,” he said.
"A daily close above the resistance of 132.5 should lead to targets of 162 and even 210 in the weeks ahead," he added.
