Stocks to Buy in Short Term: These scrips could surprise with sharp upside in the next 3 months; Titan and others in the list

Stocks to BUY: Dalal Street is back to being jittery. After ending above the 24,000 mark last week, the market quickly lost steam, with selling pressure taking over on Monday. The Nifty slipped 208 points to close at 23,842, a reminder of how quickly sentiment is shifting in the current environment.
What’s driving the market right now

According to ICICI Direct, the near-term direction isn’t tied to just one factor. There are multiple moving pieces. Global developments, especially around Iran and any situation involving the Strait of Hormuz, are being watched closely. Crude oil prices are another big trigger and any sharp move there tends to ripple across markets.

Back home, attention is also on Q4 earnings, whether foreign institutional investors (FIIs) return with meaningful inflows, and how the rupee behaves against the dollar. Together, these factors are likely to set the tone in the coming weeks.

Three stocks on the radar

In the middle of all this uncertainty, ICICI Direct has picked three stocks for a three-month view: Radico Khaitan, Reliance Industries and Titan Company. The idea is simple — even in a choppy market, there are pockets where trades can work.

Radico Khaitan: Range-bound but steady

Radico Khaitan is hovering around Rs 2,808. The suggested buying range is Rs 2,700 to Rs 2,772, with a target of Rs 3,100 and a stop loss at Rs 2,548. The stock hasn’t done much in recent weeks, but that’s also why some see a possible catch-up move if sentiment improves.

Reliance Industries: Watching for a bounce

Reliance Industries is trading near Rs 1,315 and has been under a bit of pressure lately. The recommended entry range is Rs 1,306 to Rs 1,336, with a target of Rs 1,480 and a stop loss at Rs 1,237. Given its size and presence across sectors, the stock often comes back into favour when markets stabilise.

Titan Company: Momentum still intact

Titan looks relatively stronger on the charts. At around Rs 4,437, the suggested buying zone is Rs 4,315 to Rs 4,435. The target is Rs 4,900, with a stop loss at Rs 4,098. Demand in the jewellery segment has been holding up, which is reflecting in the stock’s performance as well.

Titan Company Ltd reported a strong set of numbers for the December quarter (Q3FY26), with consolidated net profit rising 61 per cent year-on-year to Rs 1,684 crore, driven by robust festive demand in jewellery and steady growth across other consumer segments. On a consolidated basis, total income surged 40 per cent year-on-year to Rs 24,592 crore in Q3FY26, compared with Rs 17,583 crore in the year-ago period, reflecting strong consumer demand despite elevated gold prices.

Levels that matter for Nifty

On the charts, 23,500-23,400 is seen as an important support zone for the Nifty. If the index slips below this, sentiment could weaken further. On the upside, 24,000-24,100 is likely to act as a hurdle, where selling has been seen recently.
