Market experts have issued specific investment recommendations for several prominent stocks, providing guidance to investors navigating current market conditions. The recommendations came during NDTV Profit's Ask Profit show, where analysts shared their views on major companies across different sectors.

Expert Recommendations Overview

Ruchit Jain, vice president of equity research at Motilal Oswal, and Sameer Dalal of Natverlal & Sons Stockbrokers provided detailed analysis on multiple stocks, offering clear buy, sell, or hold recommendations based on technical and fundamental factors.

Individual Stock Analysis

The experts evaluated seven major stocks, providing specific guidance for each:

Sector-Specific Insights

Financial Services: For Angel One, analysts expressed concerns about declining profitability if market volatility decreases, as reduced turnover would impact the brokerage firm's earnings. The recommendation reflects expectations of changing market dynamics affecting trading volumes.

Healthcare Sector: Max Healthcare Institute received a hold recommendation with analysts noting the promising long-term outlook for the healthcare space. The sector is experiencing significant scale-up with expected profitability improvements, though experts advised against adding new positions at current levels.

Energy Trading: Indian Energy Exchange emerged as the clear buy recommendation, with analysts expecting exponential growth in both turnover and profitability. This positive outlook reflects the company's position in the expanding energy trading market.

Technical Analysis Perspectives

The recommendations incorporated both fundamental and technical analysis factors. For Paytm, the positive assessment was based on chart formations showing higher tops and higher bottoms, indicating a constructive technical pattern despite broader market weakness causing some consolidation.

Jio Financial Services was noted to be in a consolidation phase with sideways trending, leading to the recommendation to hold existing positions while avoiding fresh purchases. Similarly, NMDC received a short-term hold rating based on expectations of steady steel and iron ore prices supporting profitability.
