SEBI-registered analyst Krishna Pathak thinks that HEG, a prominent graphite electrode manufacturer, presents a potential long-term investment opportunity.
He notes that the ideal accumulation zone lies between ₹455 and ₹470, where previous buying activity has been evident.
Technically, the stock is consolidating in a sideways range, with resistance near ₹520 and strong support around ₹416.
The 9-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at ₹480 acts as dynamic support, and the stochastic Relative Strength Index (RSI) is in the oversold zone, indicating the possibility of a near-term reversal and upward movement.
Pathak highlights that a breakout above ₹520 could open the way for medium- to long-term targets at ₹622, ₹739, and even ₹840.
However, he cautions that a breakdown below ₹416 may trigger a deeper correction.
From a fundamental perspective, HEG posted revenue at ₹542 crore in the fourth quarter and a net loss of ₹73.7 crore.
Despite these headwinds, the company could benefit from recent global developments, such as a major Japanese competitor's shutdown of graphite electrode production. This may support higher prices and improved profitability for HEG in the coming quarters.
HEG shares have fallen 1.5% year-to-date (YTD).
