I have shares of Vodafone Idea bought at ₹7.30. What is the outlook?
Babitha S, Chennai
Vodafone Idea (₹8): The outlook is positive. Support at ₹7.5 can limit the downside. A bounce-back from there can take the share price up to ₹10 or even ₹11. From a big picture, a decisive break above ₹11 is needed to boost the momentum and target ₹15 and ₹18. Hold the stock. Keep a stop-loss at ₹6.9. Revise the stop-loss up to ₹7.80 when the price goes up to ₹8.50.
Move the stop-loss further up to ₹8.5 when the price touches ₹9.8. Exit 40 per cent of your holding at ₹10 and bring the stop-loss up to ₹9.3 for the balance holdings. If the stock breaks above ₹10, then move the stop-loss up by ₹0.50 for every ₹1 rise in the share price. Exit the stock at ₹17.
I had purchased Praj Industries shares at ₹527. What is the long-term outlook?
Jaspreet, Ludhinana
Praj Industries (₹348.50): The stock is in a strong downtrend. There is no sign of a reversal. Immediate support is at ₹335. If it manages to bounce back from there, a relief rally to ₹440 is possible. But thereafter the stock can resume the broader downtrend and break the support at ₹335. Such a break can drag the share price down to ₹270.
You can either exit the stock immediately now or if you have the risk-appetite, keep a stop-loss at ₹320, and hold for now. Move the stop-loss up to ₹360 when the price goes up to ₹380. Revise the stop-loss further up to ₹390 when the price touches ₹410. Exit at ₹430. Always have a stop-loss in place to minimise the loss and avoid getting stuck in a wrong position.
I have purchased Borosil Renewables at ₹582. The stock is stuck in a range. Should I wait?
Ummachan Thomas
Borosil Renewables (₹580.85): The stock is stuck in a sideways range for more than two years. Broadly ₹380-680 has been the wide trading range. However, the bias is positive. Intermediate supports are at ₹525 and ₹480. The moving averages on the short-term charts are slowly turning up. This is a bullish signal. The stock can break the range above ₹680 and rally to ₹980-₹1,000.
Hold the stock. You can consider accumulating around ₹530. Keep a stop-loss at ₹360. Revise the stop-loss up to ₹630 when the price goes up to ₹740. Move the stop-loss further up to ₹720 and ₹880 when the price touches ₹810 and ₹940 respectively. Exit 50 per cent of your holding at ₹980, and hold the balance. Thereafter for every ₹100 move revise your stop-loss higher by ₹50.
I have bought Windlas Biotech at ₹1,003. What is the short-term outlook for this stock?
Vivekanandhan K
Windlas Biotech (₹923.60): The long-term trend is up. But within that the stock now in a correction phase. A crucial support is at ₹830 and ₹790. As long as the stock sustains above these supports, the uptrend will remain intact. A decisive break above ₹1,100 will confirm the resumption of the uptrend.
That in turn will have the potential to take the share price up to ₹1,400-1,500 in the coming months. If you have the risk appetite and can hold the stock long-term, then buy more at ₹880. Keep a stop-loss at ₹730. Move the stop-loss up to ₹1,020 when the price goes up to ₹1,180. Revise the stop-loss further up to ₹1,220 and ₹1,340 when the share price touches ₹1,320 and ₹1,420 respectively. Exit the stock at ₹1,480.
