Texmaco Rail Shares Down 12% from Peak: Consider Entry at Current Levels?

Post by: Elena Malik

Texmaco Rail & Engineering Ltd saw its shares decline by 4.57% in Wednesday's trading session, hitting a day low of Rs 260. This marks a 12.06% drop from its recent record high of Rs 295.65, which was achieved just a few sessions earlier on July 8.

Despite the recent downturn, Texmaco Rail's stock has demonstrated remarkable growth, soaring more than 235% over the past year. Analysts have expressed mixed views on the stock amidst its strong upward momentum. Kranthi Bathini, Director of Equity Strategy at WealthMills Securities, remains optimistic about select railway stocks ahead of the upcoming Budget presentation. He suggests that investors with a longer-term horizon could consider adding Texmaco Rail to their portfolios, expecting moderate gains of 10-15% from current levels due to strong earnings visibility.

In contrast, Osho Krishan, Senior Research Analyst at Angel One, advises caution in the near term. He points out that while the stock has been in an uptrend with higher highs and higher lows, it is currently stretched. Krishan recommends a cautious approach, noting support levels near Rs 250 and highlighting Rs 300 as a significant resistance level.
