Market Expert Himanshu Gupta said that the stock has been in correcting spree. However, Siemens stock is one of the two stocks in his list that must be bought on correction.
He said any dip around Rs 2700 is the opportunity to buy this stock with a positional term view. At this level, the strong offers a strong risk to reward ratio. The current declines are healthy correction and the stock has seen uptrend.

Markets LIVE - Anil Singhvi Strategy
Amid limited cues from the global markets, domestic stock markets are likley to begin on a positive note, Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi said. Barring a few, all major markets across the world are closed today on account of Christmas Holiday. He expects a positive opening as markets are light on account of four-day selling in the previous week. Amid positive global markets, positive domestic institutional investors (DIIs), negative foreign institutional investors (FIIs), neutral futures & options (F&O) and negative sentiment cues, the short-term trend of the Indian stock markets will be positive on Monday, December 26, 2022.
