Stocks that were in focus on Monday include names like Hero MotoCorp which was down over 4%, JBM Auto which was up more than 2% and Star Cement which closed with gains of over 6% to hit a fresh high.
We have collated a list of three stocks that either hit a fresh 52-week high, or all-time high or saw a volume or a price breakout.
We spoke to an analyst on how one should look at these stocks the next trading day entirely from an educational point of view.
Here’s what analyst Ankit Choudhary, co-founder of Financial Independence Services (SEBI Registered Investment Advisors, Registration Number — INA100008939) had to say:
Hero MotoCorp posted a good set of numbers during the weekend for the quarter that ended December 2023 along with the announcement of the launch of 2 new models in 2024.
However, brokerages were pessimistic as the stock had shown a good run-up in the last few days in anticipation of good results.
Investors can accumulate Hero MotoCorp at current levels and add more around 4300 with a stop loss of Rs 3,949 for a target of Rs 5000.
We would recommend a buy-on-dip strategy for JBM Auto. Traders and investors can buy this stock around 2,000 -2,010 with a stop loss of 1,767 for a target 1 of 2,200 and target 2 of 2,400.
