Valentine's Day stocks: ITC, Titan, Zomato, among seven stocks to watch out for

Valentine's Day stocks: Since February is a month dedicated to celebrating love, it's a smart idea for investors to focus on a select few companies that might yield profitable returns. Following the fad, traditional methods of showing love include giving chocolates and sweets, hosting candlelight dinners, holidaying, and having meals delivered right to the doorstep of your loved ones. Thus, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), quick-service restaurants (QSR), and retail firms stand to gain from this. Thus, investors might profit greatly from these stocks in February.

Rajesh Bhosale, Equity Technical and Derivative Analyst at Angel One, has picked out seven stocks below that investors could pay particular attention to on Valentine's Day or throughout February. 

Nestle India Ltd

According to Rajesh, following the stock split in early January, prices have faced challenges and gradually declined. Despite this, the stock's higher timeframe remains in an uptrend, suggesting the current correction could present a buying opportunity.

"Traders may consider accumulating the stock on further declines, anticipating robust returns in the near future. Long-term support for the stock is around 2400–2350, marked by the 200SMA, while resistance is at 2700," advised Bhosale.

Indian Hotels Co Ltd 

The stock has maintained a robust uptrend, with every dip being bought into. Year-to-date, the stock has surged by 19%, indicating continued positivity. 

However, traders should exercise caution due to overbought conditions. Immediate support is around 500, with resistance at approximately 560, advised Rajesh. 

ITC Ltd

According to Rajesh, despite a remarkable rally over the past two years, the stock has recently experienced a correction, with prices down 10% for the year. Short-term support levels have been breached, suggesting a slowdown in momentum. Nevertheless, considering the recent pullback, accumulation can be initiated, with 390 serving as immediate support and ₹435–450 as resistance.

Titan Company Ltd 

While the stock remains in an overall uptrend, recent weeks have seen a correction amidst broader market weakness. Investors may view this as an opportunity within the larger uptrend. Immediate support stands at ₹3,450, with resistance at ₹3,700, explained Bhosale.

Jubilant FoodWorks Ltd

The recent performance of the stock has been weak, with expectations of continued underperformance in the near term. However, from a trading perspective, the stock appears oversold and is approaching key support levels. Buying on further dips for a trading bounce may be viable. Immediate support is at 450, with resistance at 500, advised Rajesh.

Zomato Ltd 

This emerging company has experienced a remarkable rally from its all-time low and is on track to reach previous all-time high levels in the near future. Current momentum favours bulls, with buying on dips advisable, with ₹143 as immediate support, highlighted Rajesh.
