Analyst on Exide Industries 

Commenting on the Exide Industries Sonam Srivastava, Founder and Fund Manager at Wright Research said that Exide’s recent surge to a 52-week high can be attributed to a confluence of factors. Firstly, the burgeoning electric vehicle (EV) market in India has investors excited about Exide’s potential as a key player.

Their partnership with Hyundai and Kia for EV battery solutions is a prime example. Secondly, the strong performance of the broader battery sector, up 8.4%, is buoying Exide’s stock. Finally, Exide’s own robust financial performance, with over 100% growth in the past year, underscores investor confidence.

“Looking ahead, the near-term outlook for Exide remains positive. The EV sector is expected to witness continued growth, benefitting Exide. However, long-term sustainability will depend on Exide’s ability to capitalize on these opportunities and navigate the competitive EV battery landscape,” added Sonam Srivastava, Founder and Fund Manager at Wright Research. 

Commenting on the same Osho Krishan, Sr. Analyst- Technical and Derivatives Research at Angel One said Exide Industries has soared nearly 20 percent in the current week, showcasing a major breakout from the 350 subzone. 

Krishna also added that post the recent development, there seems to be a probability of some profit booking; hence, it is advisable to avoid complacency and maintain a cautious stance in the counter. The undertone is certainly bullish and any dip towards 360-350 should augur well for the buyers from short to medium-term time frame.
