Market analysts are spotlighting select stocks across banking, pharmaceuticals, retail, and lubricants, providing targeted entry points and risk management levels as volatility persists.
Stock market analysts on Wednesday put five shares on their watchlists, with calls spanning public sector banking, pharmaceuticals, retail and lubricants. NDTV Profit said the picks came with defined entry points, upside targets and stop-loss levels, underscoring how traders are still leaning on technical set-ups to manage risk in a volatile market.
Bank of Maharashtra was one of the more closely watched names. NDTV Profit reported that Osho Krishan of Angel One suggested buying the stock around ₹80, with a target of ₹86 and a stop-loss at ₹77. That view comes as Angel One’s own market page shows the lender trading just below that level, while StockAnalysis’ forecast page places the stock’s analyst consensus at a modest buy with an average target of ₹84.67.
IDFC First Bank also featured among the day’s preferred trades. According to NDTV Profit, Vinay Rajani of HDFC Securities recommended buying the stock with a target of ₹90.50 and a stop-loss at ₹81. The bank’s inclusion reflects continued interest in financial stocks that have been trying to build momentum after periods of uneven performance.
In pharmaceuticals, Pfizer drew a buy call from Vijay Laxmi Ambala of SMT Stock. NDTV Profit said she suggested entering between ₹5,070 and ₹5,100, with upside targets of ₹5,400 and ₹6,000 and a stop-loss at ₹4,700. That is broadly in line with StockAnalysis, which describes Pfizer as a strong buy on the basis of four analysts and shows an average price target of ₹6,331.
The list also included Avenue Supermarts, the parent of DMart, and Castrol. NDTV Profit said Krishan favoured Avenue Supermarts with an entry near ₹4,020, a target of ₹4,200 and a stop-loss at ₹3,920, while Rajani backed Castrol at ₹188.38 with a target of ₹208.75 and a stop-loss at ₹178.75. The combination suggests traders are still finding opportunities in both consumer-facing and industrial names, provided they are prepared to act quickly if support levels fail.
