Bhel has declined to Rs 193. But investors would do well to wait some more. On the monthly charts, the scrip can take support at the current level at Rs 193. On the other hand, if this support does not hold it can move down to Rs 160 over the next few weeks.Should this bounce at Rs 193, you still will have time to get in as the scrip is unlikely to move up in a hurry. That is because of fundamental reasons. While a sizeable portion of the profit came from tax write back, real growth is wanting.
With around 60 per cent revenue coming from power projects and with Bhel having lost out to competetion in a few important bids last year, one would have to tone down one's expectations. The fact that the industrial recovery is not getting underway would continue to dent the sales picture on industrial products. Put these together, and the technical, it makes sense not to hurry here.
