Market analysts have identified five promising stocks for the next 1-2 weeks, highlighting bullish trends and strong technical support zones. According to reports from Mint, these recommendations come as market benchmarks including the Sensex and Nifty 50 traded volatile in morning deals on Tuesday, 26 May, with investors remaining cautious amid Middle East developments and rising oil prices. Vishnu Kant Upadhyay of Master Capital Services and Sachin Gupta of Choice Broking have provided specific target prices and stop-loss levels for each stock selection.
NMDC is recommended with a previous close of ₹90.19 and target prices of ₹98 and ₹101 according to Upadhyay's analysis. As reported by Mint, the stock continues to display positive technical structure after sustaining above its breakout zone near ₹86, remaining in a broader uptrend with higher highs and higher lows while trading above all key moving averages. Recent price action indicates healthy consolidation after the sharp rally toward ₹94, with support emerging near the 21 EMA and stable volume activity during the pullback. The stock has demonstrated strong institutional interest with FII holding increasing to 13.60% in March 2026 from 13.48% in December 2025, while retail participation also rose to 8.59% from 8.44%. Latest market data shows NMDC share price at ₹90.17 as of 26 May 2026, down 0.03% from the previous close, with the stock maintaining its position in the mining sector with a market cap of ₹79,275.82 crore.
Bank of India emerges as a consensus pick with previous close of ₹146.01 and varying target prices ranging from ₹158-₹165 based on different analyst recommendations. According to Upadhyay's analysis reported by Mint, the stock is witnessing improving technical momentum after negating earlier bearish structures through sustained consolidation above ₹136 horizontal support. Gupta highlights that the stock has broken out of its ₹138-₹142 range with strong buying support and crossed above key moving averages clustered around ₹140, with RSI near 62 indicating healthy rally conditions. The stock has shown robust institutional backing with FII holding increasing to 15.24% in March 2026 from 13.95% in December 2025, while retail participation rose to 5.35% from 5.03%.
Thyrocare Technologies is recommended with a previous close of ₹493.15 and target price of ₹550 according to Gupta's analysis. As reported by Mint, the stock maintains strong uptrend momentum and has crossed the important ₹485 resistance level with strong volume, improving chances of rallying toward its 52-week high near ₹536. Paras Defence and Space Technologies is also highlighted with a previous close of ₹855.75 and target price of ₹940, showing strong bullish momentum after recovering from the ₹730-₹745 support zone and moving above short-term moving averages.
According to Vipin Kumar, AVP-Equity Research at Globe Capital Market, as reported by Mint, the Nifty 50 hit intraday high and low of 24,077 and 23,966 respectively during the session. Experts believe that if the Nifty 50 breaks below 23,800, the consolidation phase may resume. The technical analysis suggests that a final peace deal between Iran and the US could strengthen market sentiment and potentially lead the Nifty index toward sustainable rally levels of 24,500-24,600, while maintaining strong support levels across recommended stocks.
