MarketSmith India, a well-known source for actionable investment ideas, has released its stock recommendations for December 8, 2025. MarketSmith India utilizes the CAN SLIM methodology, developed by William J. O'Neil, to identify promising investment opportunities. This approach focuses on key factors such as earnings per share, relative strength, and supply and demand to pinpoint stocks with high growth potential.

While specific stock recommendations from MarketSmith India are proprietary, several other analysts have also shared their picks for today. Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, suggests a positive outlook on the Indian stock market, especially with the Nifty 50 trading near 26,200.

Bagadia's stock recommendations include:

• Larsen & Toubro (L&T): Buy at ₹4,038.20 with a target price of ₹4,300 and a stop loss at ₹3,900. The stock demonstrates strong bullish momentum, consistently forming higher highs and higher lows on the daily chart. It trades comfortably above key moving averages, with the rising 20-day EMA acting as dynamic support.
• JSW Steel: Buy at ₹1,162.20 with a target price of ₹1,250 and a stop loss at ₹1,115. The stock shows strong momentum after rebounding from the ₹1,100–1,105 zone. It consistently trades above its 20, 50, and 200 EMAs, reinforcing its positive structure.
• Marico: Buy at ₹736.65 with a target price of ₹800 and a stop loss at ₹700. The stock displays renewed strength after forming a strong base, indicating a potential for further upside.

The Indian stock market closed with healthy gains on Friday, December 5, driven by the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis points. The Sensex rose 447 points (0.52%) to close at 85,712.37, while the Nifty 50 settled at 26,186.45, up 153 points (0.59%). The RBI's rate cut is viewed as a positive sign for the Indian economy, projecting healthy growth and inflation dynamics.

The focus now shifts to the US Federal Reserve's policy decision, scheduled for December 10, with markets globally anticipating a 25 bps rate cut. The Nifty 50 is currently trading near 26,200, suggesting a positive market sentiment. If the Nifty sustains above 26,300, an upward move towards 26,500 and beyond is possible.
