Shares of VA Tech Wabag surged over 6% on Thursday, buoyed by a strong March quarter earnings report and renewed investor optimism.
The rally was further reinforced by a bullish technical setup, suggesting the potential for continued upside.
SEBI-registered analyst Krishna Pathak notes that the company’s Q4 performance exceeded expectations, with sharp improvements in revenue, profitability, and margins.
Revenue rose 23.8% to ₹1,156 crore, while net profit jumped 37.4% to ₹99.5 crore. EBITDA also grew 21.9% to ₹140.8 crore, highlighting strong operational leverage.
From a charting standpoint, Pathak highlights that VA Tech Wabag has broken above a long-term descending trendline, signaling a potential trend reversal and renewed bullish momentum.
The price has found consistent support around the ₹1,345 level, which aligns with its 9-day exponential moving average (EMA).
Thursday’s price action also formed a bullish candle with a higher high–higher low pattern, reinforcing the technical strength.
Pathak sees an attractive accumulation opportunity in the ₹1,435–₹1,441 zone and adds that the stock is currently testing the ₹1,550–₹1,600 resistance band.
A decisive breakout above this level could pave the way for an aggressive upward move.
He adds that if the stock sustains above ₹1,600, short-term targets are projected around ₹1,698–₹1,789.
Retail sentiment on Stocktwits has also turned ‘bullish’, lending further momentum to the ongoing rally.
VA Tech Wabag shares have fallen 9% year-to-date (YTD).
