Stocktwits - Aarti Industries (NSE:ARTI) has emerged as a stock to watch after rallying nearly 20% in the past month.
SEBI-registered analyst Priyank Sharma maintains a bullish stance, underpinned by technical indicators and price patterns.
Sharma points to a strong technical structure in the form of a 3-Drive Pattern breakout—an advanced bullish reversal pattern that typically signals the end of a downtrend.
Over the last seven months, Aarti Industries had been consolidating just below its 2023 low of ₹438, but recent price action has shifted decisively upward. This breakout, accompanied by rising momentum, suggests the beginning of a new swing phase for the stock.
Key levels to watch include the previous quarter high (PQH) at ₹477.75, which could trigger further gains.
The 2021 low of ₹465 has now become a crucial support level, and the stock is expected to hold above this threshold.
The 2023 low at ₹438 is being interpreted as a strong base formation, lending further credibility to the bullish thesis.
On the upside, the range between ₹550 and ₹560 is being seen as a potential resistance zone.
Based on this analysis, Sharma recommends a buy in the ₹460–₹415 range, with targets set at ₹550, ₹600, and ₹770. The suggested stop loss is at ₹390 on a weekly closing basis.
With the current market price around ₹490, this setup is positioned as a swing trade, with an expected duration of three weeks to four months.
While the technical picture appears promising, the company’s fundamentals present a mixed narrative.
In its recently announced March quarter results, Aarti Industries reported a 10% year-on-year growth in revenue, driven by gains in both its energy and non-energy businesses.
However, margin pressures continued to weigh on profitability, reflecting sector-wide cost headwinds.
Brokerages remain divided in their outlook, but retail investor sentiment has turned noticeably optimistic. Stocktwits sentiment shifted to ‘bullish’ from ‘neutral’ over the last week.
