The scrip has an analyst target price of Rs 38, Trendlyne data showed, suggesting a potential downside of 19 per cent in a year. It has a one-year beta of 0.3, indicating low volatility on the counter.

Analysts said support on the counter could be seen around Rs 38. One of them suggested booking profits at current levels.

Shiju Koothupalakkal, Technical Research Analyst at Prabhudas Lilladher, said, "A decisive breach above Rs 45 would confirm a breakout for further targets of Rs 50-52 levels. The near-term support would be maintained near Rs 37, below which the bias can turn little bit weak."

Osho Krishan, Senior Research Analyst - Technical & Derivatives at Angel One, said "Support lies around Rs 38, below which the counter may plunge to Rs 34. It is advisable to have a cautious approach keeping a close tab on the mentioned levels."

AR Ramachandran from Tips2trades said, "The stock is bullish but also overbought on daily charts. Investors should book profits at current levels as a daily close below support of Rs 37.8 could lead to Rs 30 in the near term."

DRS Finvest founder Ravi Singh also mentioned that support on the counter is in the Rs 38 zone.

Meanwhile, Indian equity benchmarks settled slightly lower today amid a highly volatile trading session.
