Indian Stock Picks : Top Analysts recommendations

Here are some of the recommendations from analysts in recent weeks

ONGC
Research: Citigroup
Target price: Rs 910

Citigroup has rated ONGC a 'sell', with a price target of Rs 910, citing lower crude prices and lack of clarity on fuel subsidy burden. "Weak to moderate crude prices have started hurting ONGC, despite lower subsidy sharing, as realisations on JV (joint venture) and international crude suffer," the foreign brokerage said in a report.

My take: I always prefer trading in ONGC, it has support around 990 so I would be buying at this level if markets are not in a panic mode

Aban Offshore
Research: Macquarie
Target price: Rs 605

Macquarie has raised its price target on Aban to Rs 605 from Rs 315 while reiterating its 'underperform' rating after the company's net profit beat estimates, despite falling. The hike in price target is in the wake of the company's plans to raise capital through share issue.
