We witnessed rotational buying across the board in the passing week, which helped the index to maintain its upside momentum.

The market looks a bit stretched to us at the current levels and thus we suggest limiting leveraged positions and focus on specific stocks.

Having said that, we still maintain our positive stance till the Nifty holds above the 11,500-mark. On the sectoral front, we continue to believe Auto, Pharma and Banking counters should be preferred over others for short-term buying.

Here is a list of top five stocks which could give 5-7 percent return in next 1 month:

Century Textiles & Industries: Buy| LTP: Rs 970| Target: Rs 1,035| Stop-Loss: Rs 935| Return: 6.7 percent

Century Textiles is witnessing a rebound after eight months of corrective phase and is likely to see a fresh resistance breakout in the near future.

The chart patterns along with the indications from the confirmation indicators are also pointing towards a strong surge ahead. We advise traders to create fresh longs in the range of Rs 955-965. It closed at Rs 969.05 on September 3, 2018.

Grasim Industries: Buy| LTP: Rs 1,064.95| Target: Rs 1,140| Stop-Loss: Rs 1,032| Return: 7 percent

After a decent correction from its record high, Grasim has swiftly rebounded of late after testing its support zone placed at 100-EMA on the weekly chart.

Currently, it is hovering in a narrow range near its support zone of (200/100/50) EMA’s on the daily chart, offering a fresh buying opportunity.

We feel traders shouldn’t miss this opportunity and accumulate fresh longs in the range of Rs 1,055-1,065. It closed at Rs 1,064.95 on September 3, 2018.

Arvind: Sell Futures| LTP Future: Rs 402| Target: 382| Stop-Loss: 415| Return: 5 percent

Arvind has been consolidating in a broader range for the last eight months, after making a record high in January 2018.

Currently, it is trading in the middle of the range and formed a fresh shorting pivot. We advise traders to use any technical bounce to go short in the given range Rs 405-407. It closed at Rs 402 on September 3, 2018.
