Here's why he explains: 

Gail India

Current Market Price: ₹163 
 
 
  GAIL is stabilising after a corrective phase, holding firmly near the ₹158–₹160 zone, which is emerging as a stronger base. The recent price behaviour suggests that selling pressure is easing, and the stock is entering a consolidation phase rather than extending its decline, says Om Mehra.  "The RSI hovering in the mid-40s reflects neutral momentum, indicating that the stock is no longer in an oversold state. Directional indicators also point to a cooling of downside strength, a pattern typically observed during base formation," explains Mehra.  The analyst recommends buying the stock on dips near the base zone, with an expected move toward the ₹170–₹175 zone. This translates into a potential upside of 7.4 per cent from current levels. 

Schneider Electric Infrastructure

Current Market Price: ₹763 
 
  Schneider Electric Infrastructure has rebounded decisively from lower levels and is now printing higher-highs and higher-lows on the daily chart, says the analyst from SAMCO Securities.  "The RSI has pushed into the mid-60s, indicating expanding strength without appearing stretched, while the MACD has turned firmly positive with a rising histogram, pointing to improving momentum," explains Mehra.  As a trading strategy Mehra recommends to buy the stock on dips toward ₹760–₹750, with a stop below ₹720, for an expected move toward ₹820–₹860 (up nearly 12.7 per cent). 

Balaji Amines

Current Market Price: ₹1,146 
 
  Balaji Amines appears to be transitioning from a prolonged downtrend into a base-building phase, with prices stabilising above the ₹1,070–₹1,090 region, highlights Mehra.  "The RSI has improved toward the 47–48 zone, suggesting stabilisation without aggressive momentum. Directional indicators are converging, which is typical during accumulation phases," explains the analyst.  As long as the base holds, Mehra recommends to accumulate the stock on dips for an expected upside toward ₹1,180–₹1,220 (up 6.5 per cent) over the near- to medium-term.  Disclaimer: The views expressed by the brokerage/ analyst in this article are their own and not those of the website or its management.
