Invest in Asian Hotels, Hotel Leela: Sukhani

One can invest in Asian Hotels, Indian Hotels, EIH and Hotel Leela, says Technical Analyst, Sudarshan Sukhani.

Sukhani told CNBC-TV18, "All the three-four hotel companies have rallied after big base building and consolidation. I think there is an investment opportunity in the hotel business. I don’t know about short-term trading because sometime after these rallies, the stock can consolidate but an investor need not worry about that part. If it consolidates, let it. So there are investment opportunities in Asian Hotels, Indian Hotels, EIH and Hotel Leela. While all of them equally deserve; I think Hotel Leela is the most attractive among the four.”

Buy IT stocks, says Sudarshan Sukhani

One can buy IT stocks, says Technical Analyst, Sudarshan Sukhani.

Sukhani told CNBC-TV18, "Midcap technology stocks have rallied a lot, gone through a small and brief correction and now have started a rally again yesterday. Purely on charts, the entire midcap universe in IT and the largecaps are now buying opportunities because the largecaps actually moved up to new highs again for the season. So for short-term trader there are opportunities here. A lot would depend on how the Nifty behaves but with some stop losses, it is possible to enter on dips in these stocks. In any case, do not short sell.”

See more upside in aviation stocks: Sukhani

There is more upside in aviation stocks, says Technical Analyst, Sudarshan Sukhani.

Sukhani told CNBC-TV18, "In aviation stocks these 18-20% gains suddenly coming in one day.- that is not surprising because these stocks were in a trading range for months and one of the first signs that this would happen came when Jet did not fall even when there was a strike going on. There is the potential here. You don’t actually buy it today because after such a big rally, the stocks are likely to correct and consolidate but my sense is that no matter what the aviation business does, this stock chart suggests that there is more upside possible. So these are stocks you want to watch and buy the next time they consolidate.”

Invest in Axis Bank, says SP Tulsian

Tulsian told CNBC-TV18, "Capital is a lifeline for everyone but for banks it is more as a lifeline. Axis Bank would be looking for going into the PE and AMC business also, so that means they are trying to spread their wings in the new business because we have all being seeing quite a good comfort in the stock. They have been consistent performers and last couple of months back there were some disappointments on the change of the top managements and there were some discernments amongst the existing ones. But I don think that those things can come in the way, the bank will keep growing like this and if someone takes really good call on the time horizon of about six to twelve months, I think this is an ideal stock and there are three banks which you can go in comfortably in the private sector, HDFC, Axis Bank and ICICI Bank. With a fresh amount of about Rs 3,500 crore getting infused will definitely be growing, though we are talking about a 11% equity dilution but that will be EPS accretive, so with a 6-12 month horizon it is a very good stock to invest and even for the traders, I think this gives a good trading opportunity on an intraday basis of about 15-20 on a daily basis taking a long call those who wants to trade can buy and keep on exiting at a profit of 15-20 on a weekly basis on a trading horizon.”
