RVNL shares: Should you buy or sell?
Seema Srivastava, Senior Research Analyst at SMC Global Securities, believes that RVNL remains a structurally positive play on India’s railway and infrastructure capex story, from a long-term perspective.
“The company continues to benefit from strong government spending on railway modernisation, electrification, metro projects, and connectivity expansion. Its healthy order book and diversified infrastructure opportunities provide long-term growth visibility. However, concerns remain regarding margin pressure, execution delays, and inconsistent earnings performance, which may keep the stock volatile in the near term,” Srivastava said.
She further added that for long-term investors with a 3–5 year horizon, RVNL can still be considered a hold or gradual accumulation candidate.
“Fresh investors should prefer staggered buying rather than lump-sum investment until profitability and margins show consistent improvement,” she said.
On the technical outlook, Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree, said that has corrected sharply by over 61% across the last 90 weeks, reflecting a prolonged downtrend and significant erosion in momentum.
“The stock is now attempting to form a higher low around the 272 zone, which could indicate early signs of base formation. However, the broader structure remains weak until a clear higher high is confirmed above the critical 310 level. Without that breakout confirmation, the prevailing downtrend continues to dominate, and the risk of further downside remains elevated. Price action currently suggests consolidation within a bearish structure rather than a confirmed reversal. Failure to reclaim 310 could result in the stock drifting lower toward previous support zones in the coming weeks,” Jain added.
