It is one of the country’s largest integrated bauxite, alumina, aluminium and power-generating companies. The brokerage company ICICI Securities is bullish on the stock as it claims that on Friday closing NALCO has given a breakout above six months rectangular consolidation signals resumption of up move and offers fresh entry opportunity as well as weekly RSI in an uptrend and rebounding taking support at its nine-period average thus validates positive bias. The research analysts of ICICI Securities have recommended to buy the stock in a price range of ₹80-83, and maintaining a stop loss of ₹76.00, and have set a target price of ₹94.00.

“The Nifty Metal index regained its upward momentum in the past few sessions led by expectations of higher prices amid China reopening and sharp decline in dollar index. The index is currently poised for a breakout from nine month consolidation and mid/small metal players are seen catching up their large cap peers. We remain constructive on National Aluminium as the stock logged a breakout above the last six month’s base formation indicating conclusion of corrective phase that augurs well for resumption of up trend,” said the analysts.
“In the smaller time frame the stock has witnessed a faster retracement of the last 15 week’s decline ( ₹83- 70) in just three weeks. The base of the entire six months rectangular consolidation is placed at the 200 weeks EMA signalling positive price structure. We expect the stock to maintain positive bias and head towards ₹94 levels in the coming months as it is the 80% retracement of the MayJune 2022 decline (100-67),” claimed the analysts.
