Stocks to buy: List of 20 stocks for profitable trade on February 16

The Indian stock market witnessed a strong pullback on Tuesday after declining by more than 4 per cent in the last two sessions. The broader Nifty50 swung 3.03% to close near 17,400, while the Sensex gained over 1700 points or 3.08% to end above 58,100 as tensions between Russia-Ukraine eased on Tuesday. The recovery in the domestic market was led by auto, banking, IT and FMCG.  

Vijay Dhanotiya, Category Lead- HNI Products at CapitalVia Global Research Limited is of the view that while sustaining above 17200 would be the key factor from a short-term perspective, market research suggests, a decisive breakout above the zone of 17400-17450 could open the gate for a movement till 17800. 

“We believe investors should utilize this increase in volatility to build positions in quality large-cap and mid-cap stocks as the earning expectations for Indian corporates remain strong,” Neeraj Chadawar, Head - Quantitative Equity Research, Axis Securities, had mentioned in post market commentary on Tuesday.
