NDTV Profit highlights retail and industrial stocks with precise entry points amid mixed market outlook

NDTV Profit’s latest stock pick list features opportunities in healthcare, consumer goods, cyclicals, and industrials, with analysts specifying entry points, targets, and stop-losses, amidst a nuanced market environment.

Monday’s list of stock picks from NDTV Profit spans a mix of defensive healthcare, consumer goods and industrial names, with analysts setting out precise entry points, upside targets and stop-loss levels for traders. Apollo Hospitals Enterprise, Honasa Consumer, Tega Industries, HEG and Triveni Turbine are the five names highlighted, although the note attached to the final idea refers to Kirloskar Pneumatic rather than Triveni Turbine, suggesting a possible labelling error in the original listing.

For Apollo Hospitals Enterprise, Gaurav Sharma of Globe Capital suggested buying near ₹8,920, with a target of ₹9,200 and a stop-loss at ₹8,750. Recent company updates have helped underpin interest in the stock: LiveMint reported that Apollo Hospitals’ net profit rose 42% year on year to ₹433 crore in the latest quarter, while its digital health and pharmacy arm moved into profit. Separate market data tracked by StockAnalysis and Market Owl shows the shares trading close to the levels cited by analysts, with the company still viewed as a high-value healthcare franchise.

Honasa Consumer, the parent of Mamaearth, drew a more aggressive call. Sachin Janardan Sarvade recommended buying between ₹495 and ₹502, with a target of ₹610 and a stop-loss at ₹449. That view comes against a mixed but improving backdrop. Investing.com reported that CLSA recently upgraded Honasa to “Outperform” on a better margin outlook, while StockAnalysis said the company had posted revenue growth over the trailing twelve months and a sharp rise in net income. Even so, the shares remain well below the higher targets floated by some strategists.

The remaining ideas lean into cyclicals and industrials. Vijay Laxmi Ambala of SMT Stock Market recommended Tega Industries around ₹1,670, with targets of ₹1,730 and ₹1,900 and a stop-loss at ₹1,600. Sarvade also backed HEG in the ₹690-₹701 band, setting a target of ₹875 and a stop-loss at ₹614. The final entry in NDTV Profit’s round-up names Triveni Turbine, but the analyst call attached to it appears to describe Kirloskar Pneumatic instead, with a buy range of ₹1,500 to ₹1,530, targets of ₹1,580 and ₹1,800, and a stop-loss at ₹1,420.
