He has given a 'Buy' call on the counter with target prices of Rs 650-665 per share. The stock has risen 28.18% in a year. "The stock has recently experienced a breakout on daily charts. It is exhibiting a pattern of higher lows, indicative of a bullish trend. The momentum indicator, RSI (Relative Strength Index), is also forming higher lows, reinforcing the bullish undertone," Shah mentioned.

JM Financial share  price target

LTP: Rs 101.65 | SL: Rs 98 The market expert from LKP has included JM Financial shares in his stock picks as well with a 'Buy' call for targets of Rs 106-110. The scrip has jumped 43.17% in the past one year. "JM Financial is positioned for a potential breakout as it forms a bullish pennant pattern on daily charts. The stock's trading activity is above its short-term moving average (20-DMA), indicating a bullish undertone.

The upside targets are projected at Rs 106-110, making JM Financial an interesting prospect for a bullish move," Shah stated.

Nifty outlook

"Nifty bulls maintained their momentum, propelling the index to new highs beyond the 22,000 mark. The major support for the index is situated at the 21,800 level, and a breach below this would be essential to negate the prevailing trend. The next immediate upside targets for the index are positioned at 22,200-22,300 levels. Sustaining above these levels could potentially lead the index towards the 22,500 mark," said Kunal Shah from LKP Securities.
