The near-term demand outlook remains positive, a limited correction in RM costs should help in recovery for overall EBITDA margin.
Escorts stock price has made a break over the 261.8% retracement level and the price faces resistance as a result of profit booking and stock unloading by investors. The price has overextended above the 200-day exponential moving average which makes the stock highly overbought, and the MFI is at 64 points which confirms the overbought condition. The next target for this stock is the 423.6% retracement level at Rs 2940 which can be achieved in the long-term. Investors should accumulate this stock on corrections.
