Top stock market recommendations : According to Aakash K Hindocha, Deputy Vice President - WM Research, Nuvama Professional Clients Group, Chennai Petroleum Corporation , LTIMindtree , and Zydus Lifesciences are the top buy calls for today. Here’s his view on Nifty, Bank Nifty and the top stock picks for May 29, 2025:

Index View: Nifty

For the past 9 trading days, Nifty has been static within a 2% band, however the highs of 25000 has been constantly providing supply non index longs. Unless a closing above 25050 is not confirmed, the downside swing towards 24300 / 24100 remains open on the index. Nifty has had a nearly 15% run up in the past 6 weeks without a 2% correction. With the price action seen from the start of this week, it is fair for the index to retest 200 DMA support on downside which currently reads below 24100.

Bank Nifty

Bank Nifty has broken from its 6 week rising trendline in last week’s trading. This puts the index back on track to retest its polarity support of its original 5 year rising trendline. Targets for this breakdown hint for a 1200-1500 point breakdown from CMP. Negation for this down move is seen only when the index closes above 55600.

CHENNPETRO (BUY):

LCP: 719.05
Stop Loss: 681
Target: 777

After a bullish head and shoulder breakout on daily and weekly charts earlier this month, prices are consolidating after crossing the 200 DMA resistance on shares on Chennai Petroleum Corporation. This consolidation in a range is a typical price behaviour on this stock historically observed before another round of up move. A follow up move of 7-9% is likely to be unfolded post this monthly derivative expiry.

LTIM (BUY):

LCP: 5099
Stop Loss: 4950
Target: 5525

After trading at a 3 year low in April, LTIMindtree has been rising within a channel and has gained 25% since its April lows. A typical higher high – higher low formation underlines the bullish set up and inflows on the counter. The stock has widely outperformed its benchmark NIFTYIT index on a YTD basis which is down over 13% while LTIM is down 8% in the same period of 2025. A move towards higher range of the bullish channel is likely to unfold for target of 5525.
