2.Healthcare Global Enterprises: CMP: 416.30; Target Price: 448, Upside: 11 per cent

3.SBI Cards and Payment Services 

The stock's 200-day Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) on the daily chart is currently at 737. The stock has been trading under pressure for the past few months, marking its 52-week low of 647.95 in June. 

However, a sharp recovery has been witnessed in the prices, as once again, momentum was seen picking up above the 200-day exponential moving average on daily charts last week.

Technically, the stock has broken out above the falling trend line of the long-term bearish channel, with signs of potential reversal. Therefore, the brokerage said that one can buy the stock on dips in the range of 785-780 for the upside target of 880-890 levels with SL below 720 levels.

4.Narayana Hrudayalaya Ltd

The stock's 200-day Exponential Moving Average (DEMA)on the daily chart is currently at 1,209. The stock has been consolidating in a broader range of 1,170-1,320 on short-term charts, while broader trends remain intact with a bullish move as the stock can be seen holding well above its 200-day exponential moving average on daily charts. 

Last week, charts above the key resistance level of 1320 showed a fresh breakout after a phase of prolonged consolidation lasting more than six months. A substantial increase in trading volume supports the momentum, suggesting the potential for further price gains. 

The brokerage expects that it can buy the stock in the range of 1,345-1,325 with an upside target of 1,600-1,630 and a SL below 1,200.
