A technical report by Ventura dated October 29, 2026, gave NALCO a BUY call with a target price of ₹380, against a reference market price of ₹323.50.
The report identified support levels at ₹317, ₹308 and ₹299, with a stop loss at ₹293. According to Ventura, NALCO had fallen from ₹422.20 in August 2026 and reached a low of ₹293 in October after trading below key moving averages and breaching its 200-day simple moving average.
However, the report said the stock subsequently attracted buying interest and broke out of a descending channel, supported by trading volumes and positive technical indicator crossovers.“This breakout indicates improving buying momentum and a potential shift in the short-term trend,” the report said.
The technical outlook therefore points to a possible recovery, but it does not guarantee further gains. Investors will need to assess the upcoming results, the board's dividend decision and the stock's ability to sustain its recent buying momentum before drawing conclusions about its next move.
