Analysts at Motilal Oswal Financial Services believe Tata Consumer Products' two strong legs in the India business -- Tata Tea and Tata Salt – by which it is targeting lower double-digit growth -- give a leg-up to the firm. Besides, they also help to cross-sell between Tata Chemicals and TCP’s distribution channels and expansion into new geographies. The brokerage has a 'buy' rating on the stock with a target price of Rs 661 per share.
So far in the month of February, three of the above-mentioned five Tata Group stocks -- Tata Consumer Products, Tata Steel, and Tata Motor -- have outperformed the benchmark Nifty50 index by rallying between 12 per cent and 22 per cent, ACE Equity data show. On the other hand, while Titan is up only 2 per cent till Wednesday, TCS has declined 5 per cent on the NSE. In comparison, the Nifty50 index has gained 9 per cent during the period.
Against this backdrop, how does the Group look on charts now? Here's a technical viewpoint:
Tata Chemicals Ltd (TATACHEM): This stock has touched a new all-time high, on February 25, on the back of heavy volumes. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is witnessing buying momentum even in the overbought territory, signifying that the stock is firm enough to absorb any downward pressure. Besides, any move above Rs 600 levels witnessed tremendous buying and accumulation. Given this, the stock looks poised to hit Rs 1,000-mark over the medium term and one can expect accumulation on any mild correction. The immediate short-term support comes at Rs 650 levels.
