Following the June quarter results, the stock gained 9 per cent today, reaching an all-time high of Rs 310. Today it finished at Rs 291 (IREDA Stock Price), up 2.48 per cent. However, the most relevant thing right now is that the stock is expected to register profits following the June quarter reports.

Should you buy or sell IREDA shares?

The opinion is being formed to profit from selling IREDA since, for starters, the stock has already cashed in on its favourable triggers. If we look at the stock's movement, it has climbed by more than 18% in the past five trading sessions, returned 62% in one month, and 138% in the last six months.

Choice Broking's Equity Research Analyst Deven Mehta said that on the daily chart, the stock is making higher highs and higher lows with a bullish trend. It is finding a support level at 230, which is close to its 20-day exponential moving average (EMA). It is close to its short (20 days) and medium-term (50 days) EMA levels, which is showing a positive outlook.

Why is it advisable to sell IREDA?

According to the analyst, the profit booking has been seen in the stock from the level of Rs 310, due to which one has to be careful while making new purchases, because new entry here will be a bit risky. Investors who are holding the stock from lower levels can book profit at the current price. But for those who want to create new long positions, it is advisable to wait for a decline near 230 strong support level, here the risk-reward ratio will be better for them.
