Global Markets, Q3 Results and Budget 2025

Looking ahead, the Union Budget will be presented at a critical moment, with GDP growth expected to slow to 6.4% in FY25, marking the weakest pace in four years. Policymakers will need to implement strategic measures to stimulate growth and attract sustained FII inflows. These inflows will depend on clarity around fiscal targets, capital expenditure plans, and tax relief for the middle class in the coming months, said Vikram Kasat, Head - Advisory,  Prabhudas Lilladher.

Stocks to buy today

Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, has recommended two stock picks for today. Ganesh Dongre, Senior Manager of Technical Research at Anand Rathi has suggested three stocks.

These include Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, AU Small Finance Bank Ltd, Indus Towers Ltd, PB Fintech Ltd and Dixon Technologies (India) Ltd

Sumeet Bagadia's stock recommendations today

1. Maruti Suzuki India Ltd- Bagadia recommends buying Maruti Suzuki India Ltd at 11,741.15 keeping a stoploss at 11,330 for a target price of 12,563.

Maruti is currently trading at 11,741.15 and demonstrating strong bullish momentum. After experiencing significant selling pressure since September 2024, the stock reversed from its support zone at 10,700 and consolidated for several days. Recently, it formed a pole-and-flag pattern and successfully broke out on the daily chart. This breakout, supported by sustained trading volume, further reinforces the bullish outlook for the stock.

2. AU Small Finance Bank Ltd- Bagadia recommends buying AU Small Finance Bank at 575.1 keeping a stoploss at 555 for a target price of 615

AU Bank is currently trading at 575.10 and appears poised for a potential breakout from its consolidation range on the daily chart. This anticipated breakout is supported by a sustained increase in trading volumes, which further strengthens the bullish outlook for the stock. If AUBANK sustains above the critical resistance level of 590, it could witness a significant upward movement, targeting 615.

Ganesh Dongre's stocks to buy today

3. Indus Towers Ltd- Dongre recommends buying  Indus Towers at around Rs.340, with a target of Rs.360 and a stop loss at Rs.325. 

The presence of a bullish reversal pattern indicates a potential short-term uptrend, with the stock likely experiencing a retracement to Rs.360. The key support at Rs.325 provides a solid level to manage risk if the stock doesn't move in the anticipated direction.

4. PB Fintech Ltd - Dongre recommends buying PB Fintech (POLICYBZR) at around 1,740 keeping Stoploss at 1,700 for a target price of 1,800

The recent analysis of the stock highlights a notable bullish reversal pattern, indicating the possibility of a temporary retracement toward Rs. 1,800. Currently, the stock is maintaining a crucial support level at Rs. 1700, which serves as a solid foundation for a potential rebound.

This technical setup suggests a favourable opportunity for traders to consider taking a long position. By setting a strategic stop loss at Rs. 1,700, traders can effectively manage downside risk while targeting a potential upside to Rs.1,800. This scenario presents an attractive risk-reward ratio, aligning with the bullish outlook in the short term.

5. Dixon Technologies (India) Ltd- Dongre recommends buying Dixon Technologies at 16,275, keeping stop loss at 15,700 for a target price of 17,500

On the daily chart, the stock has exhibited a bullish reversal pattern around the 15,900 zone. This level previously acted as a breakout point in the last quarter, reinforcing its significance. A short-term bullish engulfing pattern has formed at the same level, signalling a positive outlook. Traders may consider buying this stock with a stop-loss at 15,500 and target a price range of 17,500.
