Best stocks to buy—recommended by NeoTrader's Raja Venkatraman for 8 August

In this article, we shall showcase some hidden gems that we can take advantage of as the market is currently undergoing some active buying, combined with the Q1 result season underway. The aim is to consider multiple factors that we can combine to give some meaningful return in the next few weeks. Here are three stocks to buy as recommended by Raja Venkatraman of NeoTrader for today: • CIGNITITEC: Buy CMP and dips to near ₹1,550 | Stop ₹1,510 | Target ₹1,720-1,795 • ADANIPOWER: Buy above ₹579 and dips to 560 | Stop 545 | Target ₹625-650 • ENIL: Buy above ₹161 and dips to ₹151 | Stop ₹147 | Target ₹172-178 Cigniti Technologies Ltd Cigniti Technologies Ltd is an India-based company primarily engaged in providing software testing services globally. The company offers a range of services, including quality engineering, digital assurance, and advisory and transformation services. Cigniti Technologies' Q1 FY26 results emerged against a volatile mid-cap backdrop, where the Nifty Midcap 100 plunged roughly 18% from its September 2024 high and was down over 13% year to date by mid-2025, even as the Nifty Midcap 150 rebounded 6% in the last quarter. Early August saw renewed selling, with the Midcap 100 sliding 0.77% on 6 August amid FII outflows and global trade tensions. Against this, Cigniti delivered consolidated revenue of ₹534.2 crore, up 0.7% sequentially and 14.0% year-on-year, and net profit of ₹65.9 crore—a 9.97% quarter-on-quarter dip but a staggering 528% on-year jump off a soft base. Amid lingering macro headwinds—from cautious domestic investors to unchanged RBI rates—Cigniti's healthy on-year growth, prudent cost management, and focus on quality-engineering services underscore its ability to outperform peers and capitalize as mid-cap sentiment recovers. Looking ahead, investors will monitor Cigniti's order book growth, cash conversion metrics, and execution on its digital testing offshore-onshore mix as key catalysts for further upside in the stabilization phase. As we take a look at the charts, the last few days have been quite challenging, and the attempt to move higher has not met with a favourable response yet. A sharp drop into the value support zone around ₹1,500 managed to hold back the sell-off in the last two trading sessions. However, the strong thrust to the upside, followed by robust volume that has emerged at lower levels, has clearly highlighted that the trends ahead could be resolutely heading higher. Some support from the Relative Strength Index (RSI) in forming a positive divergence has certified that the momentum to the upside could now pick up. As the overall market bias continues to be selective engagement one can consider possibility of moving higher in the coming days. Looking ahead, CIGNITITEC aims to capitalize on India's accelerating digitalization of digital networks. Adani Power Ltd Adani Power's Q1FY26 results were unveiled against a backdrop of significant mid-cap underperformance. The Nifty Midcap 100 index plunged roughly 18% from its September 2024 peak and has slid 13 % year to date by mid-2025, while the broader mid-cap segment rebounded 6% in the last quarter before renewed selling drove a 0.77 % drop on 6 August amid FII outflows and global trade tensions. In this environment, Adani Power posted a consolidated net profit of ₹3,305.13 crore for Q1FY26, down 15.5 % on-year from ₹3,912.79 crore, dragged by lower merchant tariffs and elevated operating expenses post-acquisitions. Revenue dipped 5.7 % to ₹14,109.15 crore. Continuing Ebitda of ₹5,744 crore contracted 8.6% on-year but expanded 12.7% on-quarter, supported by higher merchant tariffs, lower fuel costs and enhanced capacity utilization that lifted power sales 1.6% to 24.6 billion units. An early monsoon dampened domestic power demand, which fell 1.8% on-year to 481BU, yet Adani Power's diversified merchant mix and strategic acquisition of a 600MW Vidarbha plant underscore its resilience and growth trajectory. This counter has been steadily making a higher high, higher low in this calendar year after some steady decline since July highs, due to some steady profit booking. After forming a long body candle at cloud support, the stock is indicating potential to move higher. The revival from the cloud region on Thursday augurs well for the prices. The volume-led rise is leading to a strong recovery. Further, the prices are seen reviving, holding on to the ascending trendline support that could now produce a rebound. With India's mid-cap markets under pressure and RBI rates unchanged, Adani Power's robust balance sheet, recent stock split announcement and ongoing capacity expansions position it to navigate volatility and capitalize on an eventual market rebound. Entertainment Network (India) Ltd ENIL's latest quarterly performance emerges against a backdrop of mid-cap volatility. After the Nifty Midcap 100 plunged roughly 18% from its September 2024 peak and endured a 13% year-to-date drop by mid-2025, the segment has seen selective rebounds, with the Nifty Midcap 150 climbing over 6% in the last quarter. However, broader mid-cap benchmarks, including the Nifty Midcap 100, remained under pressure into early August, sliding 0.77% on 6 August as FII outflows and global headwinds weighed on sentiment. In this climate, ENIL reported Q1FY26 consolidated revenues of ₹117 crore, up 3% on-year, underpinned by domestic revenues rising 3.2% to ₹113 crore, while Ebitda expanded 3.6% to ₹6.2 crore. Its events and solutions business surged 33%, reflecting successful diversification, and the digital segment posted revenues of ₹21.7 crore—40.7% of core radio ad revenues compared to 24.8% last year—achieving this growth with reduced investment of ₹9.8 crore vs ₹14.2 crore a year ago. Bolstered by a cash reserve of ₹349 crore, ENIL's robust balance sheet and evolution into a multimedia platform position it to weather ongoing market volatility and capitalize on mid-cap recovery opportunities ahead. This counter joins the list of some steady recovery seen in select media stocks. Over the last three months, the move has been a gradual consolidation in this counter. The strong rise seen in the last two days has managed to breach an important resistance level around ₹155 and is heading higher. In the last few days, the financial resilience has been acknowledged, giving way to much higher grounds in the coming days. With the trends now showing the possibility of more upward traction, one can consider initiating a long opportunity in the coming weeks. As the bullish bias is steadily stepping in one should look at trading as well as investing into this counter. While its core radio ad business was subdued by a high base of one-off political ads in Q1FY25, ENIL's pivot to events and digital offset this drag. As investors face headwinds from global trade tensions and FII outflows, ENIL's diversified revenue mix and lean cost structure enhance its resilience. Raja Venkatraman is co-founder, NeoTrader.

Best mid-cap stocks to buy today, 31 July, recommended by NeoTrader's Raja Venkatraman

After months of turbulence, mid- and small-cap indices are showing signs of life this July. With mutual fund inflows accelerating and select pockets seeing renewed buying, the tides may be turning. But is it momentum or just a mirage? Dive into the shifting dynamics that are quietly reshaping India's broader market. Here are three mid-cap stocks to buy as recommended by NeoTrader's Raja Venkatraman for today: IPCALAB: Buy CMP and dips to ₹1,490 | Stop ₹1,475 | Target ₹1,650-1,740 TIMETECHNO: Buy CMP and dips to ₹450 | Stop ₹440 | Target ₹525-540 MUNJALSHOW: Buy at CMP and dips to ₹142 | Stop ₹138 | Target ₹163-171 Is sentiment under threat...? Over the 10 months to February 2025, the Nifty Midcap 100 and the Nifty Smallcap 100 plunged 14% and 16%, respectively, from their September 2024 peaks—deepening losses to roughly 21% and 25% below those highs—yet June's ₹3,754 crore inflows into mid-cap funds (and ₹4,024 crore into small-caps) helped July open on firmer ground. The Midcap 100 reclaimed about 1.5% early in July (Smallcap 100 added 1%), narrowing year-to-date deficits against the Nifty 50 even as both still lag large-caps. Against this backdrop, Q1 earnings from NSE 500 mid-cap constituents were mixed. Investors are rotating into mid-caps with stronger liquidity and clearer earnings visibility, while broader small-caps remain sensitive to valuation pressures and global risk sentiment—so July's tentative recovery hinges on selective stock picks and continued robust fund flows as these segments strive to close the valuation gap with their large-cap peers. Three mid-cap stocks to trade, recommended by NeoTrader's Raja Venkatraman: IPCA Laboratories Ltd (Cmp 1529.50) Why it's recommended: Ipca Laboratories Ltd (IPCALAB) is a pharmaceutical company engaged in the manufacturing and marketing of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and pharmaceutical formulations. Recently, the prices have dipped into the cloud support and formed a rounding pattern. The long body bullish candle seen on Friday augurs well for the prices. This has led to an improvement in the sentiment. With prices holding firm we can consider going long. Key metrics: P/E: 59.61 | 52-week high: ₹1,757.65 | Volume: 501.36K Technical analysis: Support at ₹1,420, resistance at ₹1,700. Risk factors: Macroeconomic and political risks, cyberattacks and weak same-store sales. Buy at: CMP and dips to ₹1,490. Target price: ₹1,650-1,740 in one month. Stop loss: ₹1,475. Time Technoplast Ltd (Cmp 472.15) Why it's recommended: Time Technoplast is the world's largest manufacturer of large-size plastic drums, with an impressive 50-60% market share in India and a significant share in 10 other countries. The stock has been consolidating at the TS & KS bands and forming long body candle patterns and inching higher. With momentum showing some upside once again we can look to go long. Key metrics: P/E: 61.49 | 52-week high: ₹513.35 | Volume: 1.98M Technical analysis: Support at ₹430, resistance at ₹550. Risk factors: Fluctuations in crude and polymer prices, intense competition and debt reduction. Buy at: CMP and dips to ₹450. Target price: ₹525-540 in one month. Stop loss: ₹440. Munjal Showa Ltd (Cmp 150.12) Why it's recommended: The counter has undergone some ranging action as moving steadily higher forming a higher high higher low since mid-May 2025. On a recovery it faced a value area resistance that kept halting the upmove forming higher high and higher lows holding the TS & KS Bands for the past few days around 140 has been overcome. With steady volumes building up within the bands one can look for an encouraging upmove in the coming days. Key metrics: P/E: 20.94 | 52-week high: ₹192.35 | Volume: 91.59K. Technical analysis: Support at ₹130, resistance at ₹170. Risk factors: MSL relies heavily on a single customer, the possibility of manufacturing defects and fluctuations in raw material prices. Buy: CMP and dips to ₹142 Target price: ₹163-171 in one month. Stop loss: ₹138. Overall, midcap and small-cap stocks still hold appeal for those chasing returns above traditional large-cap equities. Yet their propensity for swift price movements calls for a robust game plan, disciplined execution, and comprehensive due diligence. As themes in emerging markets shift—propelled by economic growth and technological breakthroughs—savvy investors who carefully weigh these growth prospects against their accompanying risks are well-positioned to reap meaningful gains over the long haul.

Benchmark market indices tumbled sharply on Friday, dragged down by financial stocks after Axis Bank reported a surprise profit drop for the June 30-share BSE Sensex tumbled 644.99 points to 81,614.25 around 12:19 pm, while the NSE Nifty 50 fell 191.30 points to 24,920.15.

While Axis did not name the bank, the change led to higher provisioning and credit flagged further concerns. Macquarie said the results raised "more questions than answers", pointing to Axis's elevated credit costs compared to peers, even after accounting for the one-time miss at Axis Bank weighed on investor sentiment across the sector, even as IT stocks provided some relief. Wipro gained 3% following its results, but the Nifty IT index remained flat as LTIMindtree slipped 2%.Broader markets also stayed weak. The Nifty Smallcap 100 and Midcap 100 indices were down 0.6% and 0.5%, respectively.

Bull run on buckling knees: Benchmarks stand tall, but on splintered legs

June rally runs on a limp: Headline gains mask a brittle advance, with more stocks falling than rising premium Samie Modak Mumbai Listen to This Article The benchmark Sensex and Nifty are on course for a fourth straight monthly advance, each up over 3 per cent so far this month. While the headline indices remain firm, market breadth has thinned, with more stocks declining than rising. If this trend holds through the final trading session, June will be the first month since February to log negative market breadth. The advance/decline ratio has slipped below 1, even as the Nifty Smallcap 100 and Midcap 100 have gained 3.4 per cent and 6 per cent, respectively. The Nifty Microcap 250 has underperformed, rising just 2.14 per cent.
