Varun Beverages stock trend and outlook

  After a 20 per cent fall in the calendar year 2025, VBL stock has underperformed thus in the calendar year 2026. The stock has slipped nearly 4 per cent thus far, while the BSE Sensex was down 1.4 per cent in the same period.  Meanwhile, analysts expect a positive turnaround for the stock based on the existing technical set-up.  Sachin Gupta, Vice President – Research of Choice Equity Broking believes that VBL stock is showing signs of a positive turnaround after rebounding from ₹460 levels, and sustaining above the 100-day DMA.  "The stock's ability to hold above this key moving average indicates a shift away from the recent corrective phase. Momentum indicators further support the bullish outlook, with the Daily RSI pulling up from lower levels, signalling renewed buying interest and the presence of bulls," explains Gupta.  On the downside, the analysts reckon that the ₹460 zone is expected to act as a crucial support area. On the upside, Gupta expects the stock to potentially rally towards ₹495 and ₹510 levels, and recommends a stop loss at ₹455.  Disclaimer: The views expressed by the brokerage/ analyst in this article are their own and not those of the website or its management.
