Adani Port And SBI Have Potential to Move Up

State Bank of India - This is the perfect time to accumulate State Bank of India stock. Currently it's hovering at around 230 level.  It has seen strong support above Rs 225 level and has temporarily started an up-trend. But still lies in oversold territory and hence, we can see further up-move in this counter. Purchase below the level of Rs 230 for a target of Rs 238.

Adani Port - Adani Port has been on a continuous down trend from the level well above Rs 300. However, it found strong support at around Rs 250. The up-move is expected to continue  till Rs 275. This is as well a good bet for a medium term buy for a target of Rs 300.

ICICI Bank - Time to start accumulating

The market today plunged with over 200 points dip in Nifty. With this dip, the Indian market may open another opportunity to long term investor. I believe that there are many investors (domestic and as well as foreign), who were waiting at the sideline complaining that Indian market was expensive, may come back. The market may fall further, but no one can predict the bottom. It may be possible that market pull back will be as sharp as the downward journey. Thus it is best to track the stocks, in which you are interested. If it is near your target level, it better to start accumulating it, instead of waiting for the bottom.

If you believe in India growth story, the best bet is the Private sector banks, which have corrected significantly. Just for example, consider ICICI bank. In February, one of the renowned brokerage farms gave a target of Rs 434 with current market price (at that time) Rs 361. Thereafter, many people ran after the stock and purchased it. After 4th quarter result of the same bank, nothing has been changed significantly; though the price has fallen and currently hovering at the range of Rs 310. But the people are not interested to purchase the stock at this point of time.

I suggest people to look at this counter. ICICI bank is the largest private sector bank of India. They have a strong management. In quarter  four, ICICI bank reported strong 16.6% growth in NII. NIMs improved by 11 bps QoQ. Though the asset quality remained under stress in Q4, the management guided for a decline in stressed asset.

The India growth story remaining intact, ICICI bank will be a major beneficiary.  With  its strong CASA portfolio, we believe that credit off-take will pick up significantly in the coming years. Once, the NPA problem is sorted out, the stock price may see significant uptick. At the current market price of Rs 310, the stock has limited downside as it is trading at significant discount compared to its peers. It has also strong support around the level of Rs 300.

TCS may climb up to Rs 2800 in the next couple of months

Based on the recent analyst meet, most of the brokerages have downgraded TCS. After touching, Rs 2812 on 4th of March, it closed today (10-Mar-2015) at Rs 2642. Today, it touched a low of Rs 2595 and then recovered remarkably, whereas the NIFTY has broken down below its crucial resistance level of 2750. Thus, it can be assumed that TCS has strong support at around 2600 level. Most of the bad news are already factored in the price. The result expectation is also muted and hence no major downside is visible from here. On the flip side, rupee is trading very weak and hence it acts as a major advantage of TCS. Providing NIFTY doesn't see any major crash, TCS is most likely to touch Rs 2800 in next couple of months.
