Aditya Arora, founder of Adlytick, and Manish Chowdhury, head of research at StoxBox answered these investor queries and more on NDTV Profit's Ask Profit show.

Arora: Hold

• The stock experienced a slight correction on Wednesday but held its previous support level of Rs 206.

• A neutral to positive outlook should be kept.

Arora: Neutral to bullish

• The stock has been range-bound in the medium-term, between Rs 330 and Rs 500.

• It recently tested its lower band of Rs 330, which served as a crucial support level.

• The sentiment in the chemical sector is strong, with many companies trading at their 52-week highs.

Chowdhury: Hold

• Despite flat third quarter numbers, the overall cigarette business and its volume growth remain strong.

• Urban consumption is expected to improve over the next six to eight months due to recent budget measures.

• The FMCG sector is anticipated to perform well moving forward.

• ITC is recommended to be held from a two-to-three quarters perspective.

Arora: Wait for recovery

• The chances of a turnaround recovery for this stock are less, as it has been the worst performer in the automobile sector over the past two to four months.

• In the medium to long term, recovery prospects remain low due to the overall negative sentiment in the auto industry.

• Increased inventory levels, reduced demand, and weak management commentary contribute to the negative outlook.

Chowdhury: Sell

• The overall IT sector has performed well, except for Tanla, which has underperformed.

• Consider switching to a company with multiple revenue sources rather than one with a concentrated segment like Tanla.

• Tanla's earnings have remained flat over the last four to six quarters.

Chowdhury: Exit

• The overall public sector undertaking sector has faced challenges in the last six to eight months, and this stock has reflected the same sentiment.

• The company's price to book value indicates it is on the expensive side.

• From a fundamental perspective, it is considered an expensive stock.

• It is advisable to exit the stock when the market bounces back.

Chowdhury: Hold

• Most of the negative sentiment about the company has already been factored in, and third-quarter results were quite positive.

• The management appeared confident and indicated that advertisement revenue is expected to improve moving forward.

• The stock can be a good investment if the investor is willing to hold it for at least two years.
