This prestigious engagement, valued at ₹420+ crore over five years, focuses on transforming the digital workplace for over 120,000 employees across 66 countries.

What do experts say?
According to Ravi Singh, SVP of retail research at Religare Broking, Allied digital services share price has taken a sharp reversal from its strong support at ₹149-154 zone with good volume and likely to hit upside targets of ₹208-212 from current market price of ₹179 which has around 18-20 per cent upside potential. With ongoing tariff tensions with the US, investors should approach this stock cautiously as the company has huge revenue exposure from the US.
'On the weekly chart the stock price has taken a reversal from the golden zone of Fibonacci ratio which indicates bullishness further. Investors can consider fresh buying in the stock if it sees any dip towards ₹170 level with risk managed at ₹155 for the upside targets of ₹200-210 on a positional basis,' Singh suggested. Meanwhile, Sudeep Shah, vice president of technical research at SBI Securities said, despite the pullback of nearly 25 per cent in the last three trading sessions (low of ₹147.61 on August 4 to the high of ₹184.30 on August 6, the overall trend is bearish. The price has been moving in a lower high lower low formation since the high of ₹319.90 made on September 5, 2024. The RSI has risen sharply from 23 to 56 in the last three days, while the ADX, a key trend strength indicator, has started to rise, indicating early signs of momentum shifting on the upside. However, the current pullback move from the lower levels can be called a trend reversal yet. The stock still trades below its key long-term averages of 100 & 200 EMA.
'The immediate resistance for the stock is placed in the ₹188-190 zone. This is also the zone where the previous swing high for the stock is placed. The price needs to move up and close above this zone first. Follow up above this zone can lead to price moving to ₹200 followed by ₹225 levels in the short-term. On the downside, the zone of ₹145-150 is likely to act as a strong support for the stock,' Shah added.
