Anand Rathi stock recommendation: This IT services stock may rise over 13% in one month
Shares of Oracle Financial Services Software (OFSS), a leading IT firm catering to the banking and financial services sector, are showing signs of renewed bullish momentum, according to domestic brokerage Anand Rathi. The brokerage has issued a positive outlook on the stock, suggesting it may deliver gains of over 13 percent in the next one month, driven by a solid technical setup and improving trend indicators.
Analysts at Anand Rathi note that OFSS has recently established a strong base in the ₹ 8,300–8,750 range and is now trading comfortably above the ₹ 8,800 mark. This price action is being interpreted as a sign of consolidation before a potential breakout. A particularly bullish signal comes from the inside value relationship between the monthly R1 and S1 floor Camarilla pivots—an arrangement often associated with sharp upward moves.
Adding to the bullish view, the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) has reclaimed the 50 level, a threshold commonly viewed as a pivot for upside momentum. The stock's price behaviour, combined with momentum oscillators, suggests the possibility of a sustained rally in the short term.
Given the current technical strength, Anand Rathi recommends initiating long positions in OFSS within the ₹ 8,700–8,900 range. The target is set at ₹ 9,800, indicating a potential upside of over 13 percent. To manage risk, the brokerage advises a stop-loss at ₹ 8,300.
Despite a subdued May where the IT stock slipped 3 percent, OFSS posted an 11 percent gain in April and rose 1 percent in March. These recent gains follow a challenging start to 2025, with the stock falling 15 percent in February and 29 percent in January. Over the past 12 months, however, the stock has gained nearly 19 percent, reflecting its long-term resilience and potential for further upside.
The technical bullishness is underpinned by OFSS's strong financial performance in the March 2025 quarter. The company reported a consolidated net profit of ₹ 643.9 crore, up 19 percent quarter-on-quarter. Revenue from operations grew marginally by 0.06 percent to ₹ 1,716.3 crore. On a year-on-year basis, net profit rose 14.96 percent, while revenue increased 4.50 percent.
For the full fiscal year 2024–25, OFSS reported a 7.22 percent rise in consolidated net income to ₹ 2,379.6 crore and a 7.43 percent increase in net sales to ₹ 6,846.8 crore. The board also declared a generous interim dividend of ₹ 265 per share for the year.
Commenting on the results, OFSS Managing Director and CEO Makarand Padalkar said, 'Our business model, founded on customer focus, domain specialization, and global diversification, continues to deliver market success.' He noted that the company's License and Cloud Revenues grew 13 percent annually—marking the fourth straight year of double-digit growth. The company also reported an improved operating margin of 44 percent, up 180 basis points over the previous fiscal year.
Overall, backed by a strong technical setup and healthy fundamentals, OFSS is showing signs of renewed momentum. With its stock price breaking out of a consolidation zone and key indicators pointing north, traders and investors with a short-term horizon may find the current levels attractive for initiating fresh long positions. As earnings growth and dividend payouts lend further support to sentiment, OFSS appears well-positioned for a potential upside in the weeks ahead.

Israel-Iran war: DMart to Eicher Motors— Jigar Patel of Anand Rathi recommends 3 stocks to buy for the short term
Stocks to buy for the short term: Indian stock market benchmarks, the Sensex and the Nifty 50, crashed over a per cent each in intraday trade on Monday, June 23, as Israel-Iran war escalates further, crude oil prices rise sharply and investors dump riskier equities and rush to safe haven assets. As it is difficult to predict the trajectory of the stock market amid rapidly changing geopolitical scenarios, Jigar S. Patel, Senior Manager of Equity Research at Anand Rathi Share and Stock Brokers, advises traders to remain vigilant. "A decisive breakout above 25,300 could pave the way for a sustained rally toward 25,500–25,600. Conversely, any faltering near current levels could signal renewed caution. On the downside, immediate support lies at 24,700, with a stronger floor near 24,450. Until confirmation is evident, restraint remains prudent near resistance zones," said Patel. Jigar Patel recommends buying shares of DMart, Eicher Motors and Biocon for the next two to three weeks. Over the past month, Eicher Motors has witnessed a healthy correction of approximately 12 per cent from its recent peak of ₹ 5,906. Notably, the stock has established a firm base over the last 15 trading sessions, consolidating between its 50- and 100-day exponential moving averages — a sign of stabilizing price action. In the latest session, Eicher decisively broke out of a dual descending trendline, supported by a steadily improving Relative Strength Index (RSI), which has consistently held above the 40 mark and now stands at 61.42. "The confluence of favourable technical indicators positions Eicher as an attractive long candidate. Traders may consider initiating positions in the ₹ 5,530–5,480 range, targeting ₹ 5,900, with a stop loss placed below ₹ 5,300," said Patel. Eicher Motors Following a steep decline from its recent high of ₹ 4,557, DMart has entered a consolidation phase, forming a strong base around the confluence of its 50-, 100-, and 200-day exponential moving averages (DEMA). Notably, the stock has triggered a bullish golden crossover, with the 50-DEMA moving above the 200-DEMA — a technically significant development often interpreted as a precursor to upward momentum. Adding weight to the bullish bias, the stock has also broken out of a descending trendline, indicating a potential trend reversal. "Given this confluence of positive technical signals, traders may consider initiating long positions in the ₹ 4,300–4,250 zone, with an upside potential toward ₹ 4,700. A stop loss should be maintained below ₹ 4,100 on a daily closing basis," Patel said. DMart Biocon has recently established a robust base around the confluence of its 50-, 100-, and 200-day exponential moving averages (DEMA), signalling price stability after a period of consolidation. A golden crossover — with the 50-DEMA crossing above the 200-DEMA — further reinforces the emerging bullish sentiment. On June 19, 2025, the stock also formed a bullish harami candlestick pattern, accompanied by a close above the R3 Camarilla monthly pivot, strengthening the technical outlook. This alignment of key indicators suggests a potential upside move. "Traders may consider initiating long positions in the ₹ 353–348 range, with a projected target of ₹ 385. A protective stop loss should be placed below ₹ 332 on a daily closing basis to manage risk effectively," said Patel.
