Should you buy Suzlan stock?
Experts are positive on the stock over the medium to long term, with a positive outlook on the company's growth prospects and comfortable valuations.
"The record order book is boosting future revenue expectations, supported by significant additions to production capacity and strong distribution growth. The improved financial performance, evidenced by substantial growth in revenue, EBITDA and PAT, reflects enhanced operational efficiency," said Parakh.
"The strategic focus on high-margin, non-EPC orders will reduce the challenges of industry-wide commissioning along with land availability. Despite the current sectoral headwinds, Suzlan, which is positioned in the high-growth renewable energy market with strategic initiatives for diversification and potential exports, looks strongly positive," said Parakh.
Suzlan's Q4FY25 results are expected in the coming weeks.
Technical experts are also largely positive on the stock.
According to Hardik Matalia, product analyst at Choice Broking, Suzlan is on its way out of its consolidation range after a significant decline of about 46 percent from its previous high.
Matalia noted that after this sharp correction, the stock formed a base near its lower levels, attracting strong buying interest, which led to a steady correction and a potential breakout setup.
Matalia said that Suzlan's price action suggests that it is preparing to move higher, with immediate resistance seen around ₹62. A decisive and sustained move above this level would confirm a breakout from the ongoing consolidation and could set the stage for a short-term rally towards the ₹70 zone.
"The stock has bounced sharply from its support level and is now trading above its short-term, medium-term and long-term EMAs. This alignment of moving averages strengthens the bullish momentum and supports the case for a trend reversal from the current levels," Matalia said.
The relative strength index (RSI) is around 60.80, moving upwards with a positive crossover, indicating improved strength and buying momentum.
"For short-term traders, the current levels offer an attractive buying opportunity, especially if the stock holds above the key support of Rs 55. A breakout and hold above Rs 62 would provide more convincing support for a sustained rise," Matalia said.
"Long-term investors can consider gradually accumulating the stock, as any dip provides a good opportunity to build positions, along with the technical structure.
