Top stock market recommendations
:
According to Aakash K Hindocha, Deputy Vice President - WM Research, Nuvama Professional Clients Group, Ambuja Cements, Jubilant FoodWorks and SBI Cards and Payment Services are the top buy calls for today.
Here's his view on Nifty, Bank Nifty and the top stock picks for April 24, 2025:
Index View: Nifty
After completing its 24k target and reclaiming above the 200 DMA, this is the third consecutive day wherein the index has closed above the same after a 10% flash rally. Given the geopolitical developments and a stretched rally looking tired on charts, we shift our stance to sideways from buy on dip with a short term support seen at 23900 below which weakening momentum could pick up.
Despite a strong handover from the global front this morning, charts do not warrant an immediate upside after a flash rally seen in the past 10 trading days.
Bank Nifty
Bank Nifty continued to lead the charge amongst the widely tracked indices with staging a 1800 odd point rally for this week at yesterday's high. An additional 2000 points target had opened up on charts after its strong closing on Thursday. Yesterday was the first instance since the panic lows of 7th April that Bank Nifty underperformed Nifty marking an end to its upper hand in this leg.

Any closing below 55240 is likely to drag the index on a negative momentum from here on.
We shall further the case after Bank Nifty's reaction near the 56200 levels, as it looks extremely overbought daily and hourly charts.
AMBUJACEM (BUY):
LCP: 574.35
Stop Loss: 560
Target: 606
Ambuja Cements stock
has found strong support from its 5 year trendline earlier this month and this is its 6th touch base on this trendline in the past 5 years , making it all the more stronger.
In the short term the 200 DMA has also been reclaimed along with the index as this helps in establishing its short term trend northwards.
JUBLFOOD (BUY):
LCP: 713.45
Stop Loss: 685
Target: 765
QSR stocks had been sliding since the start of this calendar year. Marking an end to the slide, Jubilant FoodWorks has given a breakout of a 3 month long correction while making a higher bottom formation all through the past 4 weeks.
A quick 6-8% upside follows through this breakout on the stock.
SBICARD (BUY):
LCP: 915.90
Stop Loss: 882
Target: 1005
SBI Cards and Payment Services stock has closed at a fresh 22 month high with repeated lower high formation suggesting accumulation on every dips being observed. The scrip has held its neck above its 200 DMA as well as 200 WMA for the past 8-10 weeks now suggesting that its short term as well as medium term trend has now been established northwards and dips are likely to get bought into.

Benchmarks extend losses for third session in a row; Sensex down 636.24 pts
Equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty tumbled nearly 1 per cent on Tuesday, weighed down by a widespread selloff amid foreign fund outflows and growing geopolitical uncertainties. Domestic markets fell for the third straight session as investors offloaded energy, finance, and IT stocks, traders said. In a volatile trading session, the 30-share BSE index dipped 636.24 points or 0.78 per cent to settle at 80,737.51. The NSE Nifty plunged 174.1 points or 0.7 per cent to settle at 24,542.50. As many as 2,266 stocks declined, while 1,731 advanced and 147 remained unchanged on the BSE. On Tuesday, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) were the net sellers to the tune of ₹2,854 crore, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) bought shares worth ₹5,908 crore. FPIs turned net sellers in June after making their largest net purchase of ₹19,860 crore in May, the highest in eight months. ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank were the biggest contributors to the Sensex decline, falling 0.9 per cent and 0.4 per cent respectively. Both stocks have significant FPI ownership. The FPI selling came as the OECD slashed its global economic growth forecasts for the second time this year, citing US trade policies. The Paris-based organisation stated that trade barriers are eroding confidence, hindering investments, and exacerbating inflationary pressures. Adani stocks decline Shares of Adani group companies declined following a news report alleging that US prosecutors were investigating whether Adani entities had imported Iranian LPG into India via their Mundra port. The report highlighted that tankers travelling between the Gulf and Mundra port allegedly exhibited traits common to ships evading sanctions. The US Justice Department was reportedly reviewing the activities of several LPG tankers used to ship cargoes to Adani Enterprises. The Adani group dismissed the report as baseless and mischievous, stating they were unaware of any investigation by US authorities. Adani Ports saw the largest decline among Adani stocks, falling 2.4 per cent. 'Optimism over a potential RBI rate cut was offset by global concerns around trade tariffs and rising geopolitical tensions. Attention is likely to shift towards monsoon-linked themes and interest rate-sensitive sectors, such as PSU banks and real estate, amid hopes that monetary easing will support economic momentum. With the Q4 earnings season largely behind us, markets are expected to remain in a consolidation phase as participants shift focus to key macro trends and global cues,' said Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services. Twelve of the thirteen major sectors logged losses. 'The domestic market remained in negative territory amid mixed global cues, geopolitical issues, and a volatile currency market led by a weak US dollar. Profit booking was evident across sectors, except for real estate stocks, which were supported by expectations of an interest rate cut by the RBI," said Vinod Nair, head of research, Geojit Financial Services. "Mid- and small-cap stocks are experiencing relatively less consolidation than large caps due to better earnings growth and moderation in premium valuation. While short-term consolidation is likely to persist, strong domestic-oriented players are estimated to outperform against external volatility,' Nair added.

Markets extend losses for 3rd session amid broad-based selloff; Sensex slips below 81k

The NSE Nifty plunged 174.10 points or 0.70 per cent to 24,542.50. As many as 2,266 stocks declined, while 1,731 advanced and 147 remained unchanged on the BSE. 'The domestic market remained in negative terrain amid mixed global cues, geopolitical issues and a volatile currency market led by a weak USD. Profit-booking is evident across sectors, except for real estate stocks, supported by expectations of an interest rate cut by the RBI. 'Mid and small-cap stocks are experiencing relatively less consolidation than large caps due to better earnings growth & moderation in premium valuation. While short-term consolidation is likely to persist, strong domestic-oriented players are estimated to provide outperformance against external volatility,' Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, said. From the Sensex firms, Adani Ports declined 2.42 per cent. Bajaj Finserv, Bajaj Finance, Power Grid, Eternal, IndusInd Bank, Maruti, Tata Consultancy Services and UltraTech Cement were among the biggest laggards. Mahindra & Mahindra emerged as the only gainer in the pack. Adani Group's 11 listed companies ended lower. Adani Group on Monday said it does not handle any cargo coming from Iran or any Iranian-owned ship at any of its ports, as it denied any deliberate engagement in sanctions evasion. In a stock exchange filing, the group said reports of links between any of its entities and Iranian LPG are 'baseless and mischievous'.

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 2,589.47 crore on Monday, according to exchange data. 'The ongoing foreign fund outflows, coupled with weak global cues such as geopolitical tensions and uncertainty over trade deals, are adding pressure to the markets,' Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd, said. In Asian markets, Shanghai's SSE Composite index and Hong Kong's Hang Seng settled in positive territory, while Japan's Nikkei 225 index ended lower. South Korean markets were closed.
