Paytm and Vedanta: Top Stock Picks Amid Sectoral Rotation and Profit Booking
In the current market landscape characterized by sectoral rotation and profit booking, Paytm and Vedanta have emerged as standout stock picks according to CA Rudramurthy BV. Vedanta’s recent bullish breakout above ₹485 and ₹490 has caught attention, with expectations of the stock climbing to ₹525 and potentially reaching ₹600. Investors are encouraged to take a long position on Vedanta but should set a stop-loss at ₹485 to manage risk.
The Nifty index, after a remarkable ascent from 24,600 to 26,100 in just two weeks, recently dipped below the 26,000 mark. Although some interpret this as a temporary consolidation phase, Rudramurthy maintains a positive outlook on the market’s resilience. The current earnings season has shown stronger performance compared to previous quarters, underpinning the optimism among investors.
The Growth Potential in Key Sectors
Key elements such as easing geopolitical tensions and the prospect of an India-US trade deal that may reduce tariffs are supporting a favorable environment for the Indian economy. With crude oil prices stabilizing around $65 per barrel, the outlook remains bright.
Rudramurthy identifies sectors ripe for investment, including IT, public sector banks, and metals. He predicts that capital will first flow into large-cap stocks before trickling down to mid- and small-cap sectors. Top recommendations include established IT giants such as TCS and Infosys, alongside major public sector banks like SBI and Punjab National Bank.
Paytm, with a clear breakout potential above ₹1,280, also captures Rudramurthy’s interest. He suggests it’s an opportune moment to invest with short-term targets of ₹1,400 and long-term aspirations reaching ₹2,000, advising a stop-loss at ₹1,270.
As the market adjusts to profit booking and sector rotation, ample buying opportunities arise. Investors are urged to focus on specific sectors and stocks, taking advantage of dips to enhance their portfolios. With robust earnings momentum and supportive global dynamics, both Paytm and Vedanta appear well-positioned for significant growth in the near future.
