Sumeet Bagadia Names Three Stocks to Buy Monday

Sumeet Bagadia Names Three Stocks to Buy Monday
Buy or sell: Sumeet Bagadia recommends three stocks to buy on Monday — 24 August 2026 · livemint.com

The Indian stock market had a difficult and bumpy week.

The Nifty 50 fell for seven trading sessions before recovering on Thursday.

The recovery followed news that the US Treasury planned to increase purchases of long-term government debt.

Sumeet Bagadia believes the market could continue recovering if the Nifty stays above 24,000.

He also said the market is still cautious because momentum is not especially strong.

For Monday, he recommended buying HDFC Life, Nestle India, and BEL.

Each recommendation has a price target and a stop-loss level to limit potential losses.

He expects the market to remain range-bound unless it moves clearly above or below important levels.

“The 24,350–24,400 zone is therefore crucial on the upside, coinciding with the 50-DMA area. A sustained move above this band could strengthen the recovery towards 24,500, whereas failure to hold 24,000 may bring renewed selling pressure. Overall, the index remains range-bound, with a cautious positive bias above the key support zone.”
