42 days left

In plain terms
Where you stand
Bought at ₹4,047 on 5 Aug. Now ₹3,975.4, down 1.8% after 30 days.
Why you own it
The business looks cheap for what it earns. High confidence. The plan was to hold about 72 days.
When you get out
Sell if it drops 7.0% from your buy price, around ₹3,763.71. The first profit objective is ₹4,842 (about 15% above your buy price). Reaching it does not force a sale — a trailing stop takes over so a winner can keep running.
How it has behaved
Since you bought it, the best it has been is +1.9% and the worst -2.2%.
What happens next
Scheduled review on 16 Oct, 42 days away. Until then it only closes early if the stop is hit.
What has to stay true

If one of these turns out to be wrong, the reason for holding this is gone — regardless of what the price is doing.

1. The company has to deliver not yet known

Lakshya31 growth targets (12-15% revenue CAGR, 10-12% order inflow CAGR) are achievable given ₹17.8 trillion prospects pipeline and Middle East reconstruction opportunity

Should be clear by 1 Nov 2026

2. The wider economy or politics not yet known

US-Iran ceasefire holds and Strait of Hormuz remains open, enabling Middle East order execution without disruption

Should be clear by 1 Sept 2026

3. The company has to deliver not yet known

New growth engines (semiconductors, green hydrogen, data centers) begin contributing measurable revenue within FY27

Should be clear by 31 Mar 2027

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

L&T combines a proven Lakshya26 execution track record (20% order CAGR, 16% revenue CAGR, RoE improved from 10% to 16.6%) with a credible new Lakshya31 plan targeting 12-15% revenue CAGR. The stock trades above its 200-DMA after recovering from a May Death Cross, with JPMorgan setting a street-high ₹5,060 target on easing Middle East tensions and newly emerging growth engines in semiconductors, green hydrogen, defence, and AI infrastructure.

₹4,047.00

Confirmed and held 13 Aug 2026

At Rs 4,049 (flat vs entry Rs 4,047); the Rs 15,000 cr AI-factory order, ONGC offshore wins and Rs 7.79 lakh cr order book keep the Rs 4,842 target on track, with JPMorgan's Rs 5,060 target as the street-high check.

₹4,049.00

Flagged for a closer look 2 Sept 2026

At ~Rs 3,999 (-1.2% from entry) with order momentum still strong (13 orders since July, ~Rs 1.11 lakh cr quarterly inflow est., Dubai airport win), but the core de-escalation driver has reversed: Iran struck targets including in the UAE and Hormuz is effectively shut, raising execution risk on the Gulf business that is ~a third of revenue.

₹3,999.00

Back to normal 3 Sept 2026

At ~₹3,989 (entry ₹4,047, -1.4%), L&T has fresh support: 13 order wins since July including ~₹1.1 lakh crore of estimated Q2 inflow on Middle East revival (Bloomberg, Aug 26), Citi reiterated Buy ₹4,650 on Sep 2, and Jefferies lists it as a preferred industrial — the thesis is stronger than at entry.

Where you stand
Bought at ₹1,939.8 on 5 Aug. Now ₹1,900.2, down 2.0% after 30 days.
Why you own it
The business looks cheap for what it earns. Medium confidence. The plan was to hold about 48 days.

What has to stay true

If one of these turns out to be wrong, the reason for holding this is gone — regardless of what the price is doing.

1. The company has to deliver not yet known

The stock should hold above Rs 1,880 after the post-results pullback.

Should be clear by 12 Aug 2026

2. General condition not yet known

The MOFSL innovation-pipeline upside case remains active through the review window.

Should be clear by 22 Sept 2026

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

Sun Pharma has fresh Q1 FY27 evidence with net profit up about 27% YoY and sales up about 10%, while the stock is above its 50-DMA and 200-DMA after a controlled pullback from a recent 52-week high. The pick adds liquid pharma exposure, but the stop must respect the post-results support zone because Q1 revenue missed some estimates.

₹1,939.80

Confirmed and held 13 Aug 2026

At Rs 1,941 (flat vs entry Rs 1,939.8); Q1 PAT +27% with Organon acquisition on track and Motilal Oswal Buy (Rs 2,310) support the Rs 2,140 target; stock sits ~8% above its 200-DMA (Rs 1,798).

₹1,941.00

Flagged for a closer look 18 Aug 2026

₹1,881 vs entry ₹1,939.8 (-3.0%); Aug 17 fall (~-2.5%) made it a worst-in-Nifty name - now below the ~₹1,902 50-DMA though above the ₹1,798 200-DMA and the ₹1,823 stop; monitor the post-results support zone ~₹1,850.

₹1,881.00

Back to normal 21 Aug 2026

At ₹1,898.5 vs entry ₹1,939.8 (-2.1%), the stock was on WATCH after Q1 revenue missed; it has since recovered from ~₹1,795 to ~₹1,900 (top NSE gainer on Aug 19, +1.3%) and the Organon deal remains on track, so upgrade back to HOLD with the ₹2,140 target intact.

What has to stay true

If one of these turns out to be wrong, the reason for holding this is gone — regardless of what the price is doing.

1. The company has to deliver not yet known

NIM holds near 3.00% and credit growth stays 14-15% as guided through H1 FY27

Should be clear by 1 Oct 2026

2. The chart has to keep behaving not yet known

Stock breaks above the ₹1,115-1,135 resistance zone to resume the uptrend toward the ₹1,260 consensus target

Should be clear by 1 Oct 2026

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

SBI's record Q1 FY27 (PAT +10.2% to ₹21,121 cr, NII +14.9%, GNPA 1.47% - lowest in over two decades, RoE 17.87%) beat estimates across the board, and 39 analysts rate it Strong Buy with a ₹1,260 consensus target (~16% upside). At ~11.6x trailing PE with the PSU-bank rally and 14-15% credit growth guidance, it is the cheapest high-quality re-rating story in the market.

What happened, in order
Bought 14 Aug 2026

Accepted from analysis task analysis-2026-08-14-0830

₹1,083.00

Confirmed and held 17 Aug 2026

CMP ₹1,067.7 vs entry ₹1,083 (-1.4%); record Q1 (PAT +10.2% to ₹21,121 cr), ICICI Sec raised to ₹1,300, consensus Strong Buy ₹1,220; shallow pullback, well above stop (₹1,018).

₹1,067.70

Flagged for a closer look 21 Aug 2026

At ₹1,043 vs entry ₹1,083 (-3.7%), the post-results pop to ₹1,123 has fully faded and the price has not confirmed the Q1 beat (learned rule: post-result price confirmation); the 6% stop (₹1,018) is not breached and broker targets of ₹1,290-1,350 are unchanged, so hold but do not add.

₹1,043.00

Back to normal 1 Sept 2026

At ~₹1,060 (entry ₹1,083, -2.1%) the thesis is intact - record Q1 FY27 (PAT +10.2%, GNPA 1.47%) with ICICI Securities at ₹1,300 and consensus targets near ₹1,260 - but September is seasonally SBI's worst month (down 8 of last 10 years, avg -3.4%), so keep the existing stop (~₹1,018) and do not add.

₹1,060.00

Flagged for a closer look 2 Sept 2026

At ~Rs 1,030 the stock is ~4.9% below entry (Rs 1,083) and within ~1% of the 6% stop (Rs 1,018) after the Sep 1 PSU-bank pullback, but the thesis is intact - Jefferies reiterated Buy (TP Rs 1,320) on Sep 1 and Q1 beat on record-low GNPA - so flag it; the automatic stop EXIT fires if Rs 1,018 breaks.

What had to stay true

If one of these turns out to be wrong, the reason for holding this is gone — regardless of what the price is doing.

1. The chart has to keep behaving held up

Aarti clears and holds the ₹522-523 resistance (52-week high zone) with volume; Axis ₹585-599 target reachable

Should be clear by 28 Aug 2026

Cleared and held the ₹522-523 breakout zone through review (entry ₹525.2, peak close ₹543.15, review ₹537.1); Axis ₹585-599 target not reached within the 10-day window but structure intact.

2. General condition not yet known

Q2 volume recovery materialises as guided; West Asia freight/export disruption does not escalate

Should be clear by 28 Aug 2026

No West Asia freight/export disruption escalation reported during the window (risk leg held); Q2 volume recovery is a Sep-quarter item not yet measurable.

3. The chart has to keep behaving turned out wrong

Nifty holds the 24,200 support in a range-bound regime; no sharp risk-off extension

Should be clear by 28 Aug 2026

Nifty closed below 24,200 at both ends of the window (24,154.90 on Aug 18, 24,090.85 on Aug 27); support failed though the decline was a mild range-bound drift (-0.27%), not a sharp risk-off extension.

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

Aarti is compounding on specialty-chemicals margin recovery: Q1 FY27 PAT jumped 260% YoY to ₹155 cr on revenue +41% to ₹2,627 cr with EBITDA margin up from 12.7% to 16.0%, and management reaffirmed the ₹700-800 cr FY27 capex plan. Axis Securities (Aug 17) flags a decisive weekly breakout above ₹522 with a ₹585-599 target (~11-14% upside) and the stock trades above its 200-day SMA (~₹426) with RSI ~50.

1. The company has to deliver not yet known

Defence pipeline (P75 Bravo ~₹70,000 cr, next-gen corvettes ~₹25,000 cr) converts to firm orders during FY27.

Should be clear by 31 Dec 2026

Verify-by date 2026-12-31 not yet due. Partial positive evidence: order book expanded to ₹15,324 cr (vs ₹13,596 cr at entry), ₹3,500 cr GRSE/YIL expansion foundation laid, DAC cleared ₹52,000 cr proposals - but no P75 Bravo firm award announced by review.

2. The chart has to keep behaving held up

Weekly breakout holds above the ₹2,470-2,480 support zone through the hold window.

Should be clear by 31 Aug 2026

Breakout held: lowest close in the window was ~₹2,577 (Aug 24 close ₹2,593), never near the ₹2,470-2,480 zone. However, the breakout stalled - no follow-through; stock reverted to the ₹2,590-2,630 range (Aug 26 NSE close ₹2,630.30).

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

GRSE is compounding on India's naval build-up: Q1 FY27 revenue +38.5% YoY to ₹1,814.6 cr and PAT +43.8% to ₹172.8 cr (17th straight growth quarter), with a ₹13,596 cr order book, a fresh ₹1,032 cr ONGC Platform Supply Vessel award and a ~₹1.5 lakh cr defence pipeline (incl. P75 Bravo). Consensus is Buy with a ₹3,146 avg target (~20% upside) and the stock trades above its 200-day EMA with a fresh weekly breakout.

1. General condition held up

Defence capex continues at 13-15% of Union Budget as Modi government maintains indigenisation push

Should be clear by 23 Jul 2026

Indigenisation push clearly persisted: record Rs 1.78 lakh cr FY26 defence production (+15.6%), sixth positive indigenisation list (405 items), DAC clearances worth ~Rs 52,000 cr, and Aug 25 DRDO missile technology-transfer approval (BEL a named beneficiary). The specific 13-15% budget-share figure was not directly re-confirmed in this window.

2. General condition not yet known

BEL executes at least 70% of its Rs 74,000 Cr order book over the next 24 months without major cost overruns

Should be clear by 30 Jun 2027

Not yet due by 2027-06-30. Early execution evidence positive: Q1 FY27 revenue +25.3% YoY with order book at Rs 72,258 cr and fresh wins of Rs 847 cr (Aug 1) and Rs 541 cr (Aug 10). Watch item: EBITDA margin contracted to 25.1% from 28.1% on a 55% surge in material costs.

3. The company has to deliver not yet known

Export orders contribute at least 10% of revenue in FY27 as defence exports accelerate from Rs 38,400 Cr base

Should be clear by 31 Mar 2027

Not yet due by 2027-03-31. No FY27 export revenue split is available in this window; defence export momentum continues from the Rs 38,400 cr base (63% FY26 export growth cited in thesis), but the 10%-of-revenue threshold cannot be assessed yet.

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

BEL is the primary beneficiary of India's record Rs 1.78 lakh Cr defence production (FY26, +15.6% YoY) and 63% export growth. The Rs 74,000 Cr order book, new Rs 1,950 Cr IAF radar contract, QRSAM and electronic warfare pipeline, and MoD indigenous sourcing framework create multi-year visibility. Motilal Oswal, ICICI Securities, and Citi all have Buy ratings with targets of Rs 510-530 (20-26% upside). Price breaking above 200-DMA with improving RSI and MACD turning positive confirms the technical setup.

Sell if it drops 6.0% from your buy price, around ₹4,371.94. The first profit objective is ₹5,000 (about 11% above your buy price). Reaching it does not force a sale — a trailing stop takes over so a winner can keep running.

What had to stay true

If one of these turns out to be wrong, the reason for holding this is gone — regardless of what the price is doing.

1. The company has to deliver not yet known

P&A premium volume growth stays above 20% through Q2-Q3 FY27

Should be clear by 15 Nov 2026

Not yet verifiable - Q2-Q3 FY27 P&A volume data not released (verify by 2026-11-15). Q1 FY27 P&A volumes of +35.8% and raised 25%+ FY27 premium-growth guidance remain supportive, but no fresh evidence within the hold window.

2. The chart has to keep behaving held up

Stock holds above the ₹4,230 stop zone over the 10-day hold window

Should be clear by 24 Aug 2026

Verified: stock never approached the ₹4,230 stop zone. Max adverse excursion was only -1.62% (~₹4,576), and the stock closed the hold window at ₹4,636, well above the stop.

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

Radico is compounding on premiumisation: Q1 FY27 net profit jumped 76% YoY to ₹229.6 cr with a record 20.7% EBITDA margin, Prestige & Above volumes rose 35.8%, and FY27 premium-growth guidance was raised to 25%+. The stock is at a fresh 52-week high (~₹4,499) above all key moving averages with Motilal Oswal Wealth's ₹5,000 target (~11% upside) and a near-debt-free balance sheet.

What had to stay true

If one of these turns out to be wrong, the reason for holding this is gone — regardless of what the price is doing.

1. The chart has to keep behaving held up

SBI holds above the Rs 990-992 200-DMA zone and NIM pressure does not materially worsen.

Should be clear by 29 Jul 2026

Price held above the 200-DMA (~Rs 984-991) throughout; July 24 intraday low Rs 1,000.80 held. Q1 FY27 domestic NIM 3.00% (+7bps QoQ) and whole-bank NIM 2.86% (+5bps) - NIM improved rather than worsened.

2. General condition held up

The market does not suffer a fresh oil-led systemic sell-off during the holding period.

Should be clear by 29 Jul 2026

NIFTY 50 rose ~6.3% (23,161.60 to 24,624.65) over the window; RBI held repo at 5.25% and launched a concessional FX swap facility. No oil-led systemic sell-off occurred.

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

SBI combines 16.9% FY26 credit growth, improving asset quality, record annual profit, and a post-results valuation reset. The stock is above its 200-DMA with bullish MACD, while a Rs 1,150 review-date target remains below Kotak's Rs 1,250 objective.

Flagged for a closer look 5 Aug 2026

Technicals have deteriorated meaningfully: RSI slid to ~40-42 (bearish zone), daily MACD is negative across sources, and price (~₹1,039) is near 200-DMA (~₹984). Q1 FY27 results were mixed (EPS beat but revenue miss). Past review date of July 29. Strong fundamental backdrop (record FY26 profit, ₹60K Cr fundraising, consensus Strong Buy target ₹1,197) but technical weakness warrants caution.

What had to stay true

If one of these turns out to be wrong, the reason for holding this is gone — regardless of what the price is doing.

1. The company has to deliver held up

The Q4 margin recovery continues to support investor interest through the next results-review window.

Should be clear by 21 Jul 2026

Margin recovery continued - Q1 FY27 (announced Aug 6, after the window) showed record revenue +17% YoY and EBITDA +26-30% with margin expansion - but it did not translate into price gains; the stock was flat-to-down through the hold.

2. The chart has to keep behaving held up

Price does not close below the stop zone near ₹136 before the expected hold review.

Should be clear by 21 Jul 2026

Never closed below the Rs 136 stop zone; lowest close was Rs 140.75 (Jul 8) with an intraday low of Rs 138.30 (Jul 7) during the crude/Iran selloff. Stop not breached.

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

Motherson has fresh Q4 FY26 evidence with revenue up 17 percent YoY, EBITDA up about 42 percent and margin recovery, while the stock remains above the 200-DMA with bullish MACD. The setup adds a non-overlapping auto-component exposure without forcing an overbought IT or solar trade.

At Rs 145.61 the stock is just above the Rs 145 entry and above the 200-DMA, but RSI near 80 makes fresh risk unattractive.

₹145.05

Back to normal 5 Aug 2026

Trading at Rs 147.25, up 1.6% from Rs 145 entry. Technicals are strengthening: RSI 59-61 bullish, MACD positive and expanding, price well above 200-DMA (~Rs 119-135). Q4 PAT up 46% YoY with EBITDA up 42% confirms the value_fundamental thesis. June 12 institutional investor meetings and credit rating revision are incremental positives. Review date July 21 still ahead with Rs 160 target in sight.

₹154.46

Flagged for a closer look 5 Aug 2026

At ~Rs 150.8 vs entry Rs 145 (+4%) after a -2.4% post-Q1 reaction; Q1 topline surged but profit growth was muted and margins contracted, so the catalyst is weak even though the Rs 160 target and Rs 136 stop are both untested.

Rs 146.5 (+1.0% vs entry Rs 145); RSI ~50 neutral, price above the 200-DMA (Rs 121), June European car registrations +13% YoY support the thesis; Rs 160 target by the July 21 review.

How it ended
Bought at ₹4,447 on 27 May, sold at ₹4,869 on 14 Aug. You made 9.5% over 79 days.

The business looks cheap for what it earns. High confidence. The plan was to hold about 48 days.

What had to stay true

If one of these turns out to be wrong, the reason for holding this is gone — regardless of what the price is doing.

1. The company has to deliver held up

The market continues to treat acquisition costs as transitional rather than a structural earnings reset.

Should be clear by 14 Jul 2026

Market treated JB Chemicals acquisition costs as transitional: NCLT sanctioned the merger on Jul 6, stock hit a 52-week high and the Rs 4,900 target by review date; FII stake rose to 17.97% from 15.44%.

2. The chart has to keep behaving held up

Price holds above the 200-DMA and does not trigger the 6% stop.

Should be clear by 14 Jul 2026

Stop never triggered - lowest price was ~Rs 4,281.5 on Jun 3 (-3.7% from entry), well above the Rs 4,180 stop. Price held above the ~Rs 3,955 200-DMA throughout and closed at Rs 4,947.8 (+11.26%).

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

Torrent Pharma has fresh Q4 evidence with revenue up 42% YoY and operating EBITDA up 41%, while the stock is above its 200-DMA with bullish MACD. The PAT decline is acquisition-cost driven, so this is a selective defensive-growth add rather than a broad pharma chase.

Q4 revenue up 42% YoY with 41% EBITDA growth confirms the value_fundamental thesis. Cup and handle breakout pattern targets Rs 5,000-5,200.

Morgan Stanley upgraded to Overweight (₹5,623). However, Pharma sector faces Trump tariff overhang (100-200% on generics from 2028), semaglutide batch recall is temporary but unresolved, and stock is past review date of July 14.

At ₹3,862 L&T is 1.8% below entry, below its ₹3,906 200-DMA and below every tracked moving average, invalidating the bullish technical gate.

In plain terms
How it ended
Bought at ₹3,931 on 22 May, sold at ₹3,871.7 on 12 Jun. You lost 1.5% over 21 days.
Why you owned it
The business looks cheap for what it earns. High confidence. The plan was to hold about 48 days.
The exit plan that was in place
Sell if it drops 6.0% from your buy price, around ₹3,695.14. The first profit objective is ₹4,350 (about 11% above your buy price). Reaching it does not force a sale — a trailing stop takes over so a winner can keep running.
How it has behaved
Since you bought it, the best it has been is +4.1% and the worst -1.5%.
What happens next
Closed. It gets a written review so the outcome feeds back into the rules.
What had to stay true

If one of these turns out to be wrong, the reason for holding this is gone — regardless of what the price is doing.

1. Big investors have to keep buying turned out wrong

Order-book visibility and capex flows support a move toward Rs 4,350 within the review window.

Should be clear by 9 Jul 2026

Order-book visibility was real — Q1 FY27 order inflow +14% YoY and a record ₹7.79 lakh crore book — but the ₹4,350 move never materialized; the stock closed the window at ₹3,886 (-1.1% vs entry).

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

L&T has strong FY26 order-book visibility and trades just above key moving averages after digesting Q4 results. The setup offers a conservative capex-linked add outside the already crowded oil exposure.

Exit

₹1,143.20 on 4 Jun 2026 • -5.60% versus ₹1,211.00 entry

At Rs 1,144 the stock is only slightly above its 6% stop from Rs 1,211, with RSI below 25 and bearish MACD.

In plain terms
How it ended
Bought at ₹1,211 on 20 May, sold at ₹1,143.2 on 4 Jun. You lost 5.6% over 15 days.
Why you owned it
The business looks cheap for what it earns. High confidence. The plan was to hold about 48 days.
The exit plan that was in place
Sell if it drops 6.0% from your buy price, around ₹1,138.34. The first profit objective is ₹1,332 (about 10% above your buy price). Reaching it does not force a sale — a trailing stop takes over so a winner can keep running.
How it has behaved
Since you bought it, the best it has been is -0.2% and the worst -5.6%.
What happens next
Closed. It gets a written review so the outcome feeds back into the rules.
What had to stay true

If one of these turns out to be wrong, the reason for holding this is gone — regardless of what the price is doing.

1. The company has to deliver turned out wrong

The post-results breakout remains valid while price holds above the 200-DMA and does not close below the stop zone.

Should be clear by 10 Jun 2026

Post-results breakout invalidated: price closed below the 200-DMA with RSI below 25 and bearish MACD, stopped out at Rs 1,143.2 on 4 Jun as it entered the 6% stop zone; never recovered.

2. The industry has to stay strong turned out wrong

FMCG rotation remains defensive-positive if crude, rupee and index volatility persist.

Should be clear by 8 Jul 2026

No defensive FMCG rotation despite crude and index volatility persisting: Nifty FMCG fell 0.44% over the window versus NIFTY +3.13%, and TATACONSUM was among the FMCG laggards.

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

Tata Consumer has a fresh Q4 FY26 catalyst with revenue up about 18% YoY and FY26 revenue crossing Rs 20,000 crore. The stock is above its 50-DMA and 200-DMA with RSI below the hard overbought gate, giving a cleaner setup than most current result names.

What had to stay true

If one of these turns out to be wrong, the reason for holding this is gone — regardless of what the price is doing.

1. The company has to deliver turned out wrong

The breakout remains valid only if price holds above the stop zone near Rs 17,784 and volume does not dry up after the results spike.

Should be clear by 14 Jun 2026

Price held above the ~Rs 17,784 stop zone through review (window low ~Rs 18,138 on Jun 11; 6% stop never triggered), but the breakout did not remain valid: no volume follow-through after the results spike, stock faded to -1.6% at review and broke below the zone days later (~Rs 17,150 by Jun 30). The price floor held; the breakout did not.

2. The company has to deliver held up

The FY26 earnings improvement must be supported by order execution rather than only valuation rerating.

Should be clear by 14 Jun 2026

FY26 improvement was execution-led, not rerating: revenue +95.7% to Rs 602.8 cr with Q4 EBITDA margin +862bps to ~32%; Aerolloy (titanium/superalloys) scaled to ~41% of consolidated EBITDA; Safran engine-component and Rs 100+ cr BrahMos orders support the order book. Delivered earnings, backed by real order execution.

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

PTC Industries has a fresh Q4 FY26 catalyst with consolidated FY26 revenue nearly doubling and net profit rising sharply, while the stock is above the 200-DMA with bullish MACD. This is an exploratory mid-cap breakout, so the stop must stay tight after the recent spike.

What had to stay true

If one of these turns out to be wrong, the reason for holding this is gone — regardless of what the price is doing.

1. The company has to deliver turned out wrong

Brent remains firm enough for upstream earnings sensitivity to stay positive through the first review window.

Should be clear by 11 Jun 2026

Brent stayed elevated but reversed sharply near $91 by June 10; the decline triggered heavy selling in upstream producers and invalidated the required persistence.

2. The chart has to keep behaving held up

The royalty-rate relief is not offset by a new adverse government levy or price-control action.

Should be clear by 11 Jun 2026

The upstream royalty relief remained in force, with no new adverse levy or price-control action on Oil India's crude production identified during the hold window.

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

Oil India has converging support from a 62% YoY Q4 consolidated profit jump, elevated crude and the recent royalty-rate relief for upstream producers. The stock passes the 200-DMA, RSI and MACD gates, making it a cleaner crude-linked add than stretched power or metal names.

If one of these turns out to be wrong, the reason for holding this is gone — regardless of what the price is doing.

1. The chart has to keep behaving turned out wrong

Brent stays above $100 and upstream royalty relief remains in force.

Should be clear by 9 Jun 2026

The May 8 royalty-rate relief remained in force, but Brent fell from about $111.28 on May 19 to below $100 from May 26 and closed near $94.25 on June 8.

2. The chart has to keep behaving turned out wrong

ONGC price does not close below the 200-DMA during the hold window.

Should be clear by 9 Jun 2026

ONGC closed at Rs 274.05 on May 27; the cited contemporaneous technical reading placed its 200-SMA near Rs 275.42, confirming a close below the required support.

Ashok Leyland has a fresh Q4/FY26 catalyst with record revenue, EBITDA, PAT and CV volumes. The stock is above its 200-DMA, RSI is near 52, and MACD is bullish, so the setup is cleaner than more extended power and capital-goods movers.

What had to stay true

If one of these turns out to be wrong, the reason for holding this is gone — regardless of what the price is doing.

1. The industry has to stay strong turned out wrong

The metal-sector rotation continues and NALCO does not close below its 50-DMA for two consecutive sessions.

Should be clear by 22 May 2026

Failed: NALCO closed below calculated 50-DMA on 18 May and 19 May; NIFTY Metal also slipped from 13,300.60 on 15 May to 13,163.75 on 19 May.

2. The chart has to keep behaving held up

Global aluminium and base-metal prices do not reverse sharply before the next review.

Should be clear by 29 May 2026

Passed: LME aluminium cash-settlement rose from $3,635/t on 15 May to $3,769.50/t on 29 May, so there was no sharp reversal before review.

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

NALCO is a liquid metals-sector candidate with fresh policy support from the gold and silver import-duty hike and company-reported record FY26 profit. The setup is acceptable only while price stays above the 200-DMA and metals remain in relative leadership.

Q4 FY26 revenue rose about 27%; wires and cables remained the main growth driver with FY26 segment growth around 30-33%.

2. The chart has to keep behaving held up

The stock holds above its 200-DMA despite broad-market volatility.

Should be clear by 14 May 2026

Latest available close was Rs 8,887.5 on May 13, still well above the derived 200-DMA near Rs 7,507.

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

Polycab is a large-cap cable-and-wires candidate tied to infrastructure, real-estate and electrification demand. The company reported Q3 FY26 revenue up 46% YoY with wires and cables as the main growth engine, and Q4 expectations remain framed around the same demand cycle. The stock closed above the 200-DMA with bullish MACD and acceptable RSI, making it cleaner than several overbought capex alternatives.

The stock remains above key long-term averages and the electrification thesis is intact. Momentum is constructive without appearing excessively stretched.

Back to normal 7 May 2026

Sold 8 May 2026

Current price around Rs 9,003 is about 13% above the Rs 7,966 entry, while RSI near 75 and stochastic near 96 show overbought risk after the Q4 result spike.

1. The chart has to keep behaving turned out wrong

The breakout attempt holds above the prior 52-week-high area after the April 29 volume surge.

Should be clear by 6 May 2026

The stock did not consistently hold above the April 29 breakout/high area; it closed 1523.8 on May 5 and 1575.1 on May 6 before recovering.

2. General condition held up

Shipping-rate and offshore sentiment do not reverse sharply over the next week.

Should be clear by 6 May 2026

Dry-bulk sentiment stayed supportive: BDI reached 3034 on May 7 before a modest May 8 pullback to 2978, still near highs.

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

Great Eastern Shipping is a small-cap shipping scout with a low valuation, net-cash balance sheet, and heavy April 29 buying as the stock outperformed the transport-services sector. StockAnalysis shows price above the 200-DMA and acceptable RSI in the latest overview snapshot, while market data showed strong volume. This is a tactical shipping and offshore momentum trade, not a multi-month call.

Flagged for a closer look 1 May 2026

GESHIP closed near Rs 1,576.8 on April 30, modestly above the Rs 1,556.9 entry, and the shipping value thesis is still alive. Move to WATCH because RSI and stochastic are now above preferred limits after the fast move, so the trade needs a tight trailing stop rather than fresh averaging.

Flagged for a closer look 7 May 2026

At Rs 1,552.40, the stock is nearly flat versus the Rs 1,556.90 entry and remains above the 200-DMA with bullish MACD, so the tactical thesis is still alive.

₹1,556.90

GESHIP remains above its 200-SMA with RSI 64.90, but stochastic at 78.96 and the expired tactical hold window argue for tighter monitoring.

1. The company has to deliver held up

Q4 FY26 order inflow converts at least 8-10% of the ₹5.9 lakh cr prospective pipeline

Should be clear by 31 May 2026

Q4 consolidated order inflow was ₹89,772 crore, above the 8-10% conversion threshold on the ₹5.9 lakh crore pipeline.

2. General condition not yet known

Middle East execution continues without escalation-driven project deferrals

Should be clear by 31 Jul 2026

Verification date is 2026-07-31. No conclusive evidence yet of escalation-driven Middle East project deferrals.

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

L&T reported record Q3 FY26 order inflow of ₹1,35,581 cr, taking the consolidated order book to ₹7.33 lakh cr with domestic share rising to 53% (+30% YoY). The Q4 FY26 prospective pipeline stands at ~₹5.9 lakh cr. Management guidance for FY26 calls for group order inflow +10% and revenue +15% with Projects & Manufacturing margin target of 8.5%. Nuclear component delivery 7 months ahead of schedule and the latest power transmission wins reinforce execution credibility against India's infrastructure super-cycle.

Flagged for a closer look 7 May 2026

L&T traded near Rs 4,023-Rs 4,029 versus the Rs 4,122.2 entry, and Q4 commentary introduced near-term execution and Middle East pressure concerns. The order-book thesis remains credible, but the post-result momentum profile has weakened, so keep it on WATCH until price stabilizes.

If one of these turns out to be wrong, the reason for holding this is gone — regardless of what the price is doing.

1. The company has to deliver not yet known

Rural demand strength sustains into Q1 FY27 supporting tractor and SUV volumes

Should be clear by 31 Jul 2026

Not due until 2026-07-31. April FY27 sales were strong, with auto sales up 14% and tractors up 21%, but full Q1 sustainability is unverified.

2. Big investors have to keep buying not yet known

April 6 price hikes flow through without material order-book cancellations

Should be clear by 30 Jun 2026

Not due until 2026-06-30. Post-hike April sales suggest no immediate cancellation shock, but order-book cancellation evidence is not yet conclusive.

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

M&M closed FY26 with record SUV volumes of 6,60,276 units (+19.7% YoY), climbing to the #2 position in the Indian auto market ahead of Hyundai and Tata Motors. Tractor sales hit an all-time high of 5,05,930 units — direct confirmation of the rural demand recovery. April 6 price hikes cushion input-cost volatility, while the XUV 7XO launch and existing bookings backlog support FY27 growth visibility. Share at ₹3,244.70 with the auto cycle aligning with rate stability and rural wallet recovery.

Bought 17 Apr 2026

Accepted from analysis task analysis-2026-04-17-0830

₹3,227.90

Confirmed and held 20 Apr 2026

Thesis reinforced by FY26 tractor/SUV volume records and April price hikes. Current Rs 3,202 vs Rs 3,227 entry (-0.8%), well within tolerance. Hold into May 8 review.

₹3,217.90

Flagged for a closer look 21 Apr 2026

M&M closed near Rs 3,247.05, modestly above the Rs 3,227.90 entry, and the SUV/tractor volume thesis remains sound. However, Dhan and Trendlyne snapshots show mixed long moving-average structure with price below the 200-DMA in their Indian technical data, so the position should stay on watch rather than be upgraded.

₹3,247.50

Back to normal 22 Apr 2026

M&M is less than 1% below entry and the auto thesis remains supported by record FY26 SUV volumes and all-time high tractor sales. Technicals are acceptable with RSI near 55 and price above the relevant 200-DMA snapshot, though short-term auto sentiment can react to EV competition narratives.

₹3,202.20

Sold 23 Apr 2026

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

Navratna defence PSU with provisional FY26 revenue of ₹26,750 cr (+16.2% YoY) and an order book of ₹74,000 cr providing ~2.8x revenue visibility. March 2026 order wins of ₹6,795 cr (mountain radars, LCA avionics) plus export growth of +33.65% YoY underpin a multi-year earnings ramp. Shares up ~7% to an intraday high of ₹430.20 on FY26 results; further order momentum and indigenisation policy tailwinds should sustain the re-rating.

If one of these turns out to be wrong, the reason for holding this is gone — regardless of what the price is doing.

1. General condition turned out wrong

ICICI Bank Q4 print on April 26 delivers in line or ahead of consensus, sustaining banking leadership

Should be clear by 27 Apr 2026

ICICI Bank reported Q4 FY26 on April 18 with PAT up 8.5% YoY and lower provisions, but the assumed April 26 catalyst timing was wrong and Bank Nifty fell over the hold window.

2. The company has to deliver turned out wrong

SBI Q4 FY26 results date falls within the May 9-May 15 window based on historical pattern

Should be clear by 15 May 2026

SBI scheduled its Q4 FY26/FY26 board meeting for May 8, 2026, earlier than the stated May 9-May 15 assumption window.

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

SBI enters Q4 FY26 print season with sell-side PAT estimates clustering around Rs 18,500-19,500 cr and credit-cost moderation. Strong DII accumulation, benign funding costs from RBI VRR operations, and a benchmark deposit franchise leave downside risk asymmetric. Banking leadership into ICICI's April 26 print typically drags SBI higher ahead of its own Q4 date.

Bought 20 Apr 2026

Accepted from analysis task analysis-2026-04-20-0830

Thesis intact: ICICI's beat sets a strong bar, Q4 print scheduled for May 15 and ex-dividend May 18. Current ₹1,104 vs entry ₹1,107.9 is a 0.35% drawdown — well inside earnings-play tolerance. Banking sector rotation supportive.

₹1,111.85

Flagged for a closer look 30 Apr 2026

SBI remains close to entry, but banking has been less convincing than the headline index and provisioning concerns remain a sector overhang. Keep on WATCH until earnings timing and credit-cost commentary become clearer.

What had to stay true

If one of these turns out to be wrong, the reason for holding this is gone — regardless of what the price is doing.

1. General condition held up

Commodity volatility remains elevated enough to sustain futures and options turnover.

Should be clear by 3 May 2026

S&P Global cited elevated bullion and energy volatility lifting MCX volume expectations; May 4 commodity coverage still described geopolitical tension keeping gold and silver volatile.

2. The chart has to keep behaving held up

MCX stays above its 200-DMA through the review window.

Should be clear by 3 May 2026

MCX closed at 2912.9 on May 4, well above an estimated 200-DMA near 2072.85 from Yahoo Finance daily closes.

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

MCX is a Reddit-originated exchange-market candidate because retail discussion is focusing on exchanges as toll-booth businesses while current macro conditions are driving commodity volatility. S&P Global notes that commodity volatility is turbocharging MCX volume expectations, and the company IR page confirms active FY26 investor reporting. The technical setup passes with price above the 200-DMA, bullish MACD and RSI below the hard overbought limit.

MCX closed near Rs 2,971.5, materially above the Rs 2,793 entry, and commodity volatility still supports exchange volumes. Move to WATCH because RSI near 79 and stochastic near 96 show a stretched short-cycle setup ahead of the May 3 review window.

Should be clear by 29 Apr 2026

Price action failed before review; the stock moved to WATCH after drawdown exceeded tolerance and later traded below key moving averages.

2. The company has to deliver not yet known

The next audited-results update does not show an advertising or subscription deterioration large enough to break the dividend/value support thesis.

Should be clear by 30 May 2026

Not yet verifiable by this post-mortem; the audited-results check was due by 2026-05-30.

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

Sun TV is the exploratory mid-cap candidate because it combines a clean technical setup with improving media-sector momentum and recurring shareholder payouts. Exchange-linked announcements show a March interim dividend, while Business Standard reported the stock was up for a fifth straight session and the Nifty Media index had gained over 4% in one month. The setup is not a structural media bet yet; it is a short, technically gated rotation trade while the stock stays above its 20-DMA and 200-DMA.

Exit

₹221.43 on 22 Apr 2026 • +0.92% versus ₹219.42 entry

RITES is slightly above the Rs 219.42 entry, but the latest Dhan technical snapshot showed price below the 200-DMA while stochastic was overbought. Since this is a bullish news-catalyst thesis and the configured technical gate rejects below-200DMA setups, exit rather than extend the short-hold trade.

In plain terms
How it ended
Bought at ₹219.42 on 20 Apr, sold at ₹221.43 on 22 Apr. You made 0.9% over 2 days.
Why you owned it
Reacting to a specific piece of news. High confidence. The plan was to hold about 10 days.
The exit plan that was in place
No stop or target was recorded for this pick — it predates the risk model.
How it has behaved
Since you bought it, the best it has been is +0.9% and the worst -0.4%.
What happens next
Closed. It gets a written review so the outcome feeds back into the rules.
What had to stay true

If one of these turns out to be wrong, the reason for holding this is gone — regardless of what the price is doing.

1. The chart has to keep behaving held up

Daily delivery volumes on RITES support 3-5% position size without material slippage (liquidity check)

Should be clear by 21 Apr 2026

Liquidity was adequate for small sizing; later public data showed traded volumes sufficient for a personal position.

2. The company has to deliver held up

Q4 FY26 result date falls in late May 2026 consistent with prior-year pattern

Should be clear by 31 May 2026

Latest public estimates place the next earnings date in May 2026, consistent with the expected Q4 announcement window.

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

RITES is a PSU railway/infrastructure consultancy riding the capex cycle with fresh order visibility: Rs 105.69 cr RDSO test-track maintenance, Rs 45.2 cr West Bengal bridge consultancy, Rs 729 cr Mysuru-Hassan-Mangaluru electrification revision. Stock +12% in April as midcap breadth expanded. This is the exploratory mid-cap slot the system has been missing — PSU status, multi-year order backlog, and alignment with the L&T/Cummins capex cluster. Short-hold trade into Q4 FY26 announcement (late May) rather than a long-dated position.

What happened, in order
Bought 20 Apr 2026

Accepted from analysis task analysis-2026-04-20-0830

₹219.42

Confirmed and held 21 Apr 2026

Down 0.4% since entry but mid-cap bid continues; order-book narrative intact (RDSO ₹105.7 cr, Mysuru-Hassan ₹729 cr revision). Review date April 30 gives 9 sessions to play out into Q4 announcement window (late May). Stop held at -3% (news_catalyst drawdown tolerance).

₹221.67

Flagged for a closer look 21 Apr 2026

RITES closed near Rs 220.19 versus the Rs 219.42 entry, so the trade is only marginally positive. The order-book catalyst remains valid, but Dhan technicals show price below the 200-DMA and stochastic overbought, so this should be monitored rather than treated as a clean hold.

RITES is slightly above the Rs 219.42 entry, but the latest Dhan technical snapshot showed price below the 200-DMA while stochastic was overbought.

What had to stay true

If one of these turns out to be wrong, the reason for holding this is gone — regardless of what the price is doing.

1. The company has to deliver turned out wrong

The Apr 24 audited-results and dividend meeting occurs as scheduled and does not reveal asset-quality deterioration.

Should be clear by 24 Apr 2026

The meeting occurred and results were strong, but gross NPA ticked up slightly and the market reaction was negative.

2. The company has to deliver turned out wrong

The stock remains above the 20-DMA after the earnings event and stochastic does not extend materially above the overbought threshold.

Should be clear by 27 Apr 2026

The stock failed the post-event price test and traded well below entry after results.

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

Shriram Finance is the Reddit-originated candidate from NBFC discovery, where retail discussion repeatedly surfaced Shriram Finance, Bajaj Finance and Chola as higher-quality finance-sector names. The non-community setup is acceptable: Q3 FY26 core metrics showed NII up 16.17% YoY and AUM up 14.63%, while the next board meeting on April 24 will consider audited FY26 results and final dividend. Technically, Dhan shows RSI in the preferred range, bullish MACD, price above the 200-DMA and only one moving-average sell signal, making it cleaner than other Reddit NBFC ideas tested.

HCLTech is about 7.4% below the Rs 1,395 entry using the embedded latest price and was down over 9-10% intraday after Q4 results.

1. The company has to deliver held up

TCS Q4 EBIT margins recover above 25% with stable deal pipeline

Should be clear by 10 Apr 2026

TCS operating margin for FY26 was 25%, up 70bps YoY — the highest in four years. EBIT margin recovery confirmed above 25% target.

2. The company has to deliver turned out wrong

FY27 revenue guidance is constructive (double-digit CC growth target maintained)

Should be clear by 10 Apr 2026

TCS reported its first-ever annual USD revenue decline of -2.4% in FY26. While deal wins were record-breaking ($40.7B FY26 TCV), the revenue guidance narrative was dampened by the annual decline. Not constructive in the way the thesis expected.

3. The company has to deliver turned out wrong

Nifty IT index sustains above 31,000 on follow-through buying post results

Should be clear by 14 Apr 2026

Nifty IT fell to 30,669.80 on April 13, below the 31,000 threshold. The index was hit by concerns about AI disruption (2% crash on April 10) and geopolitical risk resurfacing after Iran talks failed April 12.

4. The wider economy or politics turned out wrong

No fresh geopolitical escalation that reverses the ceasefire-driven risk-on trade

Should be clear by 22 Apr 2026

Iran ceasefire talks collapsed on April 12, triggering fears of a Strait of Hormuz blockade. Crude oil spiked back above $100. This directly contradicted the assumption of no geopolitical escalation and was a key driver of the April 13 selloff.

Full analyst note (the original, unsimplified thesis)

TCS reports Q4 FY26 results on April 9 — a high-conviction near-term catalyst. The stock rose 2.67% on April 7 and is riding the broader IT sector recovery. Analysts expect EBIT margin recovery above 25%, strong deal wins with TCV exceeding $8-9B, and constructive FY27 guidance. The rupee weakness provides a natural revenue tailwind for India's largest IT exporter. With the ceasefire easing macro fears and DII accumulation continuing, TCS sits at the intersection of four convergent signals: sector momentum, earnings catalyst, currency tailwind, and institutional support.

TCS closed at Rs 2,555 on April 8 — marginally below the entry price of Rs 2,568.10. The core earnings_play thesis remains intact and has not yet played out: Q4 FY26 results are due today after market hours. Analyst consensus is strongly positive (revenue +9% YoY, PAT +14-15% YoY, EBIT margin recovery above 25%). The catalyst is hours away — exiting before the event would negate the thesis entirely.

Flagged for a closer look 10 Apr 2026

TCS is trading at Rs 2,547, below the entry price of Rs 2,568 (down ~0.8%). The Q4 results on April 9 beat estimates with 12% YoY profit growth and $12B TCV, but the stock reacted muted. The earnings_play thesis has now been realized — results are out and the catalyst has passed. Per the thesis default hold of 2 days for earnings_play (entered April 8, now April 10), the position is at its hold limit. Move to WATCH as the near-term catalyst has played out without meaningful upside capture, though analyst targets remain bullish at up to Rs 3,350.
