Bajaj Auto: Avoid | LTP: Rs 3,564 

Bajaj Auto announced its Q2FY23 results on Friday. The company reported a 20 per cent jump in its net profit aided by higher sales volumes on improved semiconductor supply. Jain said that TVS Motors is a better buy in two-wheeler segment. However, investors having this stock in their portfolios can retain it for the target of Rs 3800-3900. The risk-to-reward ratio is not favourable at current levels and hence the counter can be avoided, he further said.
