Shares to buy in short term: Mehta Equities’ Riyank suggests Network 18, Anant Raj, Paytm stock to buy

Stock market today: Indian stocks declined on Tuesday, impacted by losses in the financial and IT sectors, while shares of the Adani group fell after the Wall Street Journal reported that the US is investigating whether the conglomerate imported Iranian LPG to India.

The Nifty 50 decreased by 0.73% to 24,537.05, and the Sensex dropped by 0.87% to 80,669.63 as of 12:55 IST.

Market analysts observed that global stock markets are under a shadow of uncertainty due to ongoing tariff disputes, renewed geopolitical issues like the situation between Russia and Ukraine, and financial troubles in the United States. These elements have together kept investors anxious and put additional strain on global equities.

Riyank Arora suggests three stocks in the short term - Network 18 Media & Investments Ltd, Anant Raj Ltd, and One 97 Communications Ltd (Paytm). Check out his views on the overall market.
