Should you buy RVNL stock after Q4 results?

RVNL share price has corrected 52.68% from its all-time high post the buying climax and is now staging a mean reversion bounce.

“The logical resistance and target lies at ₹475, which marks the 50% retracement of the entire fall. This level also aligns with weekly swing high wicks and zones where previous longs were trapped during the correction. The confluence of these factors makes ₹475 a significant hurdle and an ideal level to book profits,” said Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investments.

RVNL share price has gained 11% in one month, but is down 3% year-to-date (YTD). However, over the long term, RVNL shares have delivered stellar returns as the railway PSU stock is up 22% in one year and has jumped 2,323% in five years. 

At 9:35 AM, RVNL share price was trading 0.05% lower at ₹411.90 apiece on the BSE.
