Buy HPCL and L&T, says Shubham Agarwal of MOSL

Here are a few stock tips from Shubham Agarwal of Motilal Oswal

Nifty Outlook

Nifty defended the expected support at 7700. Reversion of momentum indicator form its oversold zone augurs well for the ongoing pullback. However absences of a firm reversal pattern on the immediate scale indicates the pullback to be temporary in nature.

HPCL

Reco: BUY

Last Close: Rs 798

Target : Rs 990

'Bullish Hammer' confirms the long term support & the secular uptrend to stay intact. We expect the OMC basket to continue its relative outperformance. HPCL could be accumulated with a stop at Rs 720 for an initial target upto Rs 990.

L&T

Reco: BUY

Last Close: Rs 1,365

Target : Rs 1,475

Post a sharp decline the stock saw some stability around the 1340 level. 'Piercing Line' pattern along with the positive divergence on the daily RSI augur well for the support to be held. We expect a stable recovery which could be participated with a stop at Rs 1,304 for an initial target up to Rs 1,475.

SUNPHARMA

Reco: SELL

Last Close: Rs 716

Target : Rs 640

Sun Pharma has witnessed a systematic declining trend. With the medium term support breached with a gap the stock is expected to witness further decline. The fresh breakdown from the continuation pattern indicates likely acceleration & a price target of Rs 640 which could be participated with a stop at Rs 770.
