Best stocks to buy today, 2 July, recommended by NeoTrader's Raja Venkatraman
A strong thrust to the upside is, however, fraught with some caution, as the markets are now gearing up for some strong news-based action flows. The road ahead seems to be definitely favouring the bullish camp, but the upward trajectory is not going to be linear. Here are three stocks to buy or sell as recommended by NeoTrader's Raja Venkatraman for today: TECHNOCRAFT: Buy CMP and dips to ₹3,100 | Stop ₹3,050 | Target ₹3,550-3,600 MAHLOG: Buy above ₹347 and dips to ₹335 | Stop below ₹330 | Target ₹380-395 BIOCON: Buy above ₹363 and dips to 355 | Stop 353 | Target 374-378 Market update Indian equity benchmarks ended the 1 July session nearly unchanged after a lacklustre day of trade, as investors paused following last week's strong rally. The Sensex edged up 90.83 points to close at 83,697.29, while the Nifty 50 added 24.75 points to end at 25,541.80. Market breadth remained mixed with 1,971 stocks advancing and 1,889 declining. Sectoral performance was uneven—PSU banks led with a 0.7% gain, while capital goods and infrastructure also saw modest upticks. In contrast, media stocks fell 1.5%, and other sectors like FMCG, realty, pharma, IT, and auto faced mild declines. Broader indices also struggled, with both BSE MidCap and SmallCap indices slipping 0.4%. Also Read: Disruptor-in-chief: Can Jio do to financial services what it did to telecom? Among the top Nifty gainers were Apollo Hospitals, Bharat Electronics, Reliance Industries, IndusInd Bank, and Jio Financial, whereas Axis Bank, Nestle, Shriram Finance, Eternal, and Trent ended in the red. Sentiment was dampened by ongoing uncertainty around India-US trade talks, which have reportedly reached a delicate stage, sparking concerns over potential tariffs up to 26% if negotiations falter. Outlook for trading After the Nifty's breakout beyond the upper boundary of its recent trading range, the trends are poised gingerly at the immediate supports that are holding back any kind of selling bias. For days, the index oscillated between roughly 25,200 and 25,450, frustrating breakout hunters. The move that ensued has not been able to sustain, and the last two days have been spent in a sideways fashion. On the charts, we can note the listless action seen on the indices. But yesterday's close above that 25,500 mark, which was the Max Pain point, signals renewed trader confidence and a potential hold to a long bias. Chart watchers will note the bullish candlestick on the daily chart, coupled with rising volumes, as an encouraging sign that the rally has room to run. Options market dynamics further reinforced the bullish narrative. Ahead of weekly expiry, participants aggressively sold puts and unwound calls, highlighting a possibility of an upmove once the Nifty moves above 25,600. With the PCR climbing higher to 0.74 from 0.66, we can look at the possibility of some trend to emerge in the coming session. The Nifty Spot is firmly above the consolidation zone that we have been mentioning; however, the median line resistance around 25,600 will be a key level to watch out for as we move ahead into the July series. Further evidence in the form of key sectoral drivers firing on all cylinders, our constructive stance remains intact. Also Read: Three roads and highway stocks that should be on your watchlist The markets are currently taking a breather, as the momentum indicator shows. However, if the markets sustain this momentum, a run toward 26,000-26,200 becomes a realistic expectation in the coming weeks. The other indices must now play catch-up; otherwise, what we saw on Thursday will get more tailwinds. A buy-on-dip market has now been initiated, and we have to take note of this fact as we head into the coming sessions. Three stocks to trade, recommended by NeoTrader's Raja Venkatraman: Technocraft Industries (India) Ltd (Cmp ₹3,199.80) Why it's recommended: TECHNOCRAFT is a diversified industrial group with a global presence. It manufactures and exports a range of products, including drum closures, scaffolding systems, textiles, and engineering and design services. The company's Q4 performance has been solid, and the charts are indicating a revival in progress after a brief consolidation. This could be an opportunity to consider this stock as a buying opportunity. Key metrics: P/E: 28.22 | 52-week high: ₹655 | Volume: 60.35K. Technical analysis: Support at ₹2,450, resistance at ₹3,600. Risk factors: High volatility, negative investor sentiment, and long-term bearish trends. Buy: CMP and dips to ₹3,100. Target price: ₹3,550-3,600 in 1 month. Stop loss: ₹3,050. Mahindra Logistics Ltd (Cmp ₹345.65) Why it's recommended: MAHLOG, a prominent player in the logistics sector, has faced headwinds due to operational concerns. The prices bottomed out in March, and the steady formation of a higher low indicates that the trends are heading higher. A push above the recent set of data, forming a long body candle, is highlighting the potential to move to the upside after weeks of profit booking that had emerged. Key metrics: P/E: 57.32 | 52-week high: ₹554.70 | Volume: 170.53K. Technical analysis: Support at ₹295, resistance at ₹455. Risk factors: High logistics costs, fragmented operations, and a shortage of skilled workforce. Buy above: ₹347 and dips to ₹335. Target price: ₹380-395 in 1 month. Stop loss: ₹330. Also Read: FY25 dividend payouts: Cash-rich BFSI and IT companies dominate Biocon Ltd (Cmp ₹362.50) Why it's recommended: BIOCON, a prominent player in the active pharma ingredient (API) space in the pharma sector. The company is an active player in catering to companies all across the world. The last few days have been quite turbulent, and the slow and steady rise seen in the prices, as the steady increase in demand after the prices bottomed out in March 2025. Key metrics: P/E: 78.13 | 52-week high: ₹404.60 | Volume: 5.29M. Technical analysis: Support at ₹850, resistance at ₹1,225. Risk factors: Rising costs, increased competition, and regulatory pressures. Buy above: ₹363 and dips to ₹355. Target price: ₹374-385 in 1 month. Stop loss: ₹353.

India's mcap rises $1 trn since March; leads gains in top 10 equity markets
India's listed companies have added nearly $1 trillion in market capitalisation since early March 2025, taking the total to $5.33 trillion. This sharp increase comes on the back of a strong rally that followed a five-month correction between October 2024 and February 2025, Moneycontrol reported. In percentage terms, India's market capitalisation (mcap) surged by over 21 per cent — the highest growth among the world's top 10 equity markets. India now ranks as the fifth-largest equity market globally, trailing only the US, China, Japan, and Hong Kong. Germany recorded the second-largest gain during this period, with its mcap rising nearly 14 per cent. Canada followed with an 11 per cent jump, while Hong Kong's mcap increased by more than 9 per cent. Japan and the UK also saw gains of around 8 per cent each. By contrast, the US, the world's biggest equity market, reported a modest increase of around 2.4 per cent. China, the second-largest, recorded a 2.7 per cent rise. France and Taiwan reported gains of over 3.9 per cent and 3.2 per cent, respectively. Sensex and Nifty ride the rally India's benchmark indices, the Sensex and Nifty, rose by 12.5 per cent and 13.5 per cent, respectively, during this period. Broader market indices performed even better: the BSE MidCap index climbed over 20.7 per cent, and the SmallCap index jumped by 26 per cent. However, the rally has also led to stretched valuations, raising concerns among analysts. Many have started lowering their earnings forecasts, the report said. Earnings estimates reflect caution According to a recent note from JM Financial, the Nifty 50's earnings per share (EPS) estimate for FY25 saw a minor upward revision of 0.3 per cent in April 2025. However, estimates for FY26 and FY27 were downgraded by 1.1 per cent and 1.0 per cent, respectively. The slight upgrade for FY25 EPS is due to muted analyst expectations for Nifty's fourth-quarter FY25 profit after tax (PAT) heading into the results season, the news report said. The trend of downgrades continues, with the April 2025 cuts for FY26 and FY27 being sharper than those recorded in earlier months — 0.9/0.6 per cent in February and 0.2/0.6 per cent in March. This points to a cautious outlook on forward earnings. According to Bloomberg consensus estimates, the Nifty 50 companies are projected to grow earnings by 14 per cent year-on-year in FY26.
