The Indian stock market has been doing very well in this year. This is due to the growing hope that both the Reserve Bank of India and the Federal Reserve are going to start lowering interest rates soon. The Indian rupee’s (INR) weakness has also helped them to rise, making it attractive for top exporters.
They have risen, and this is the most important thing. The Indian economy has continued to run on full throttle. The inflation rate, which has been stubbornly high for some time, is now falling. Analysts expect the economy to grow at over 7% in this year. This year, the Nifty 50 index has risen by 16 percent while BSE Sensex is up by 14 percent.
The price movement is similar to what’s been happening in other countries. The S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and CAC 40 have all risen by more than 17% in the United States. In Europe, the top indices, like the DAX and CAC 40, have also reached new highs. This report examines three Indian stocks, including Mazagon Dock. ICICI Bank and Bajaj Finserv.
Mazagon Dock
Mazagon Dock has been India’s largest shipbuilding firm for the last few years. This is due to the increasing demand from the government. The company’s revenues have risen from Rs4,897 billion in 2020 to Rs9,466 billion in the past financial year. The company’s profits increased from Rs758 to Rs2,461 in the last financial year.
Mazagon Dock has also seen its margins improve, moving from 15% up to 26% in spite of inflationary pressures.
The stock has more than doubled in value this year, reflecting the performance of the company. The stock has increased by more than 159% since its low point of 2023. This is better than other shipbuilding companies such as Samsung Heavy, Mitsubishi Heavy and Daewoo.
On the chart for the day, the share price of Mazagon Dock peaked earlier in the year at Rs5,855. It has recently moved into a bearish market after falling over 20% since its peak this year.
Stocks have also formed an descending channel that resembles a falling wedge. This pattern can be a positive sign in most situations. The stock has remained higher than the Exponential Moving Avg. (EMA) of 50 and 100 days. Investors will therefore likely target Rs5,000 as the main resistance level.
ICICI Bank
The Nifty Bank Index has only risen less than 10% this year. The company’s performance was boosted by its strong financial results. Its profits increased 11.8%, to Rs 14,980 crore ($1.4 billion).
The profit after taxes rose 14.6%, while the deposits grew 14.1%. It is noteworthy that most Indian banks have seen a weak growth in deposits as their customers are moving to money-market funds.
On the daily chart we can see that the ICICI Bank share price is moving sideways. The stock price has stagnated at around Rs 1,240. This is a few points under the important resistance level of Rs 1,246. Double-top pattern on the chart is a common bearish signal.
There is therefore a possibility that the price will fall in the next few days, unless the bulls break the level of resistance at Rs 1,247 to invalidate the pattern.
Bajaj Finserv
Bajaj Finserv’s share price continues to rise. The majority of the gains began in July, when Bajaj Finserv released mixed financial results.
Positively, the assets managed by its team grew 31% and now total more than $42.6 billion. The company’s loan book increased by 10%, while its customer base grew to 88.1 millions. Bajaj Finserv is now one of India’s largest non-bank financial service companies.
There are indications that the default rate is increasing, even though this company has benefitted from high interest rates.
Bajaj Finserv’s stock has reached a record high of Rs 1,876. Recently, it has crossed an important resistance level at Rs 1,740, which was the former all-time record. The 200-day and the 50-day moving averages have also crossed, forming a golden-cross pattern.
The Relative Strength Index has reached the point of extreme overboughtness at 80, while the Stochastic Oscillator is now above 93.
While the outlook is positive for the stock over the long term, some signs are pointing to a possible short-term reverse as investors begin taking profits. The next level to be watched is Rs 1,740.
