On stocks to buy on Wednesday, Sagar Doshi of Nuvama recommended three stocks - Adani Enterprises Ltd, National Aluminium Company Ltd (NALCO), and NMDC Ltd.
Adani group has been witnessing strong traction from the start of this calendar month, Adani Enterprises has ended at 6-week highs on verge of breaking out from a 6-month falling trendline. Despite multiple resistances the structure suggests a strong rejection from breakdown witnessed a fortnight ago can allow a short covering rally on this stock.
Bullish flag breakout at the start of this month is seen on shares on National Aluminium. Stock has currently experienced 2nd highest closing ever in Monday’s trading, given the tailwind of Aluminium prices moving higher amid global supply shortage. A fresh all time high towards 460-466 is likely to play out given the strong tailwind in this geopolitical scenario.
NMDC is nearing 2 years since it traded at all time high levels and over the past 4-5 quarters the stock has been repeatedly making higher lows in a corrective consolidating which has given shape to a huge bullish cup and handle formation on daily and weekly charts. Given the recent support-bounce from its 200 DMA, stock is now set to rage towards its previous all-time highs. Pattern breakout is visible and smaller as well as larger time frames with a wider target however, we would look for only initial targets to be met in this phase.
