Sumeet Bagadia shares recommendations
Regarding the top on Tuesday, as the trading on the NSE and the BSE would remain closed on Monday for Ganesh Chaturthi, Sumeet Bagadia recommended three stocks to buy: Axis Bank, Dr Reddy’s Labs, and Indus Towers.
1] Axis Bank: Buy at ₹1246 | Target ₹1375 | Stop Loss ₹1180.
The banking stock is currently consolidating near a major multi-month rising trendline support, with the stock closing around ₹1,246.00. The price action reflects steady accumulation along this upward-sloping trendline support zone around ₹1,209– ₹1,232, offering a low-risk entry area. The Supertrend indicator has flashed a buy signal near the trendline, signalling a potential shift back toward a bullish bias in the short term.
2] Dr Reddy’s Labs: Buy at ₹1165 | Target ₹1290 | Stop Loss ₹1100.
The pharma stock is currently attempting to form a base after a corrective phase, closing around ₹1,165.50. The price is currently trading below its 50-week EMA near ₹1,242.00, but is finding strong support around its crucial 200-week EMA near ₹1,102.80. This area serves as a solid demand zone that could provide the base for an upcoming bullish reversal attempt. A sustained bounce off the 200-week EMA, followed by a move back above intermediate resistance levels, would strengthen the setup and confirm renewed buying interest.
3] Indus Towers: Buy at ₹388 | Target ₹425 | Stop Loss ₹368.
Indus Towers’ share price is currently attempting a reversal from a key multi-month consolidation zone, with the stock closing around ₹388.00.

Additionally, the chart shows a breakout above the downward trendline resistance, indicating that selling pressure is easing and momentum is shifting back in favour of buyers.
