Sumeet Bagadia's breakout stock recommendations

Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, believes that the Indian stock market remains cautious overall, but the Nifty 50 index indicates a potential rebound from the 23,200 level. However, the index must close above the 23,600 mark to boost sentiment on Dalal Street. He further said adopting a stock-specific strategy and focusing on stocks that exhibit strength on the technical charts is advisable.

Speaking on the outlook for the Indian stock market today, Sumeet Bagadia said, “Overall, the Indian stock market bias is cautious, but the Nifty 50 index is showing the possibility of a bounce back from 23,200 levels. However, to improve Dalal Street sentiment, the 50-stock index has to break above the 23,600 mark on a closing basis. So, one should maintain a stock-specific approach and look at those stocks that look strong on the technical chart. Looking at breakout stocks can be a good option for intraday trading.”

Regarding breakout stocks for intraday trading, Sumeet Bagadia recommended buying these five shares today: Metro Brands, Century Plyboards (India), Westlife Foodworld, PCBL, and Chemical and Clean Science and Technology.
