On the technical front, analysts largely suggested booking profits at current levels.
Jigar S Patel, Senior Manager - Technical Research Analyst at Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers, said, "In the current month, the said counter has given a whopping return. So, one should avoid fresh buying at the current market price and immediately book profit. As of now wait and watch."
AR Ramachandran from Tips2trades said, "Mirza International is very overbought on the daily charts with next resistance at 75. Investors should be booking profits at current levels and wait for a dip near support of Rs 36.60-40 to buy for better returns."
On the other hand, Ravi Singhal, CEO at GCL Broking, said, "The stock looks good ahead of the listing of RedTape."
