Continue to hold.
Stock up 3-4% despite market volatility.
Any dip would be an opportunity to buy back the share.
Hold with a target of Rs 3,600-3,650 for short term, and Rs 38,000 for medium- and long-term investors.
Sharma: Buy On Dips
Stock looking upbeat on the charts.
See it heading towards Rs 37,000-38,000 levels in the immediate near term.
Any dip is a fresh buying opportunity.
KPI Green Energy (CMP: Rs 348.35)
Tapse: Hold For Long Term
Lot of issues in the company.
Fourth-quarter earnings looking bad.
Negative trend will continue in terms of fundamentals.
With respect to valuations, the company is trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of almost 20 to 22. Its Return on Capital Employed and Return on Equity are looking good.
Downside is limited in current levels.
May see recovery in 12 months.
Wipro (CMP: Rs 242.01)
Tapse: Hold for long term
Advise investors to have this stock in the portfolio.
Because of conservative business model, long-term consistent quote on quarter-on-quarter basis.
Slow mover on price action, for long-term investors will get a good traction for six to 12 months.
Hold for long term.
Sharma: Avoid
Might still take more time to take upward journey.
Would suggest a new trader should avoid this choice.

Hold for at least three to six months on current levels.
Stock price is almost settled.

Look for targets close to Rs 105-115.
Vodafone India (CMP: Rs 6.7)
Tapse: Buy On Dips
Holding for four to five years is a good view, there might be new strategic investments.
Downside is also open.
If one wants to hedge the investment, invest in Bharti Airtel.
If investing in long term, add more if it comes down to Rs 5.
High risk, high return stock.
