Prashanth: Hold

• Fundamentally, the stock appears to be very strong.

• The IT sector may face some near-term challenges, which can affect the stock's business in the short run.

• Despite potential short-term hiccups, the stock is an excellent long-term holding.

• It has the potential to reach its all-time high of Rs 10,000.

Prashanth: Wait and watch

• Not comfortable recommending a buying rating for the stock at this stage.

• The PE ratio and other fundamentals appear to be on the expensive side.

• Both second-quarter and third-quarter results showed a decline in growth margin.

• Advisable to adopt a wait-and-watch approach.

• Await fourth-quarter earnings before taking a long-term investment decision.

Prashanth: Wait and watch

• The stock is unlikely to witness an uptick in the near term, a wait-and-watch approach is recommended.

• Fourth-quarter results may be flat or negative, potentially bringing the stock down to the Rs 550–560 range.

• It's advisable to wait for a significant dip to accumulate more.

• The company is fundamentally strong in terms of growth and return ratios.

• Positive outlook for the stock based on fundamentals but can expect pressure in the near term.

Sarvendra: Hold but not recommend buying more

• The stock has remained range-bound over the past six–seven years, fluctuating in the range of Rs 350–550.

• The scrip is currently at the lower end of this range and has broken its previous swing.

• From a long-term perspective, the counter is positioned at the lower end of the risk-reward ratio.

• Investors may hold on to the stock but are not advised to purchase additional shares.

Sarvendra: Diversify your portfolio

• Investors seeking better dividend yields can find more suitable stocks within this sector.

• Diversifying the investment across multiple companies in the sector is preferable then concentrating on a single stock

Prashanth: Hold

• The PSU banking sector holds strong potential, with significant credit growth expected over the next year, driven by the RBI's efforts to enhance liquidity in the system.

• Banks like State Bank of India, Bank of Baroda and Punjab National Bank are likely to perform well, benefiting from credit growth and controlled non-performing-asset levels.

• It's recommended to hold the stock and consider accumulating more when it reaches the Rs 85–82 range.

Sarvendra: Hold

• The stock shows strong support in the Rs 46–44 range.

• If the counter holds at Rs 46, then the investor can retain it for up to six months.

• The investor should set the stop loss at Rs 45.

• While the risk-reward ratio is not highly favourable, the scrip can be considered for a holding period of three to six months.
