IT stock jumps 4% after securing multi-million-dollar digital banking deal in Africa
Stocktwits - While InterGlobe Aviation (NSE:INGL) (IndiGo) is fundamentally strong and well-positioned for long-term growth, its daily technical charts suggest a possible consolidation around the ₹5,200 level, according to SEBI-registered analyst Deepak Pal.
The stock is currently trading in a tight range between its 14-day and 55-day exponential moving averages (EMA), indicating consolidation.
Indigo’s stock is facing resistance at around ₹5400, while ₹5200 appears to be a key support zone. However, if the stock makes a decisive breakout above ₹5,400, it could potentially rise toward ₹5,600, Pal said.
Recent turbulence in the aviation sector, triggered by the Air India crash in Ahmedabad, has created short-term pressure on airline stocks. If positive sentiment returns in the sector and momentum builds, the stock could rally toward ₹6,000 over the long run, he noted.
Fundamentally, IndiGo looks strong, backed by its focus on cost optimization and improving profitability, according to Pal.
IndiGo is India’s largest airline with a 60% share of the domestic aviation market and a fleet of over 360 aircraft.
In FY24, it posted a record profit of more than ₹8,200 crore and a revenue of approximately ₹62,000 crore. Backed by a healthy cash reserve of ₹21,000 crore and moderate debt, the airline continues to expand internationally while maintaining high load factors and a cost-efficient model.
Pal said that despite near-term risks from fuel price volatility and global geopolitical uncertainties, IndiGo’s long-term prospects remain robust.
The retail sentiment on Stocktwits on Indigo remained ‘bullish’.
