As Indian equity markets maintained their positive momentum on Thursday, 4 December 2025, SEBI-registered research analyst Ankush Bajaj has identified three stocks for investors to consider on 5 December. The benchmark indices closed in the green, with the Nifty 50 gaining 47.75 points (0.18%) to settle at 26,033.75. The Sensex also advanced, closing 234.05 points higher at 85,843.56.
Ankush Bajaj's Top Stock Recommendations for 5 December
Bajaj's selections are based on technical analysis, focusing on momentum, breakout patterns, and key indicator readings. Here is a detailed look at his three exclusive picks for today's trading session.
1. Hindustan Copper Ltd (HINDCOPPER)
The analyst recommends a buy on Hindustan Copper, which is currently trading at ₹365.75. The stock is showing a strong bullish technical structure, supported by consistent volume accumulation. It is trading near a breakout zone after reclaiming crucial resistance levels.
Key technical metrics support the bullish view. The daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 66, indicating sustained buying interest. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) at +3 maintains a bullish crossover above its signal line. Furthermore, an Average Directional Index (ADX) reading of 32 suggests a well-established and strengthening trend.
The technical view suggests that a sustained move above ₹359 confirms a bullish continuation pattern, with an upside target of ₹378 in the near term. Investors are advised to place a stop loss at ₹359. Bajaj notes that the stock is sensitive to global copper prices and commodity cycles, which are key risk factors.
2. Coforge Ltd
Coforge is the second buy recommendation, with its current market price at ₹1,966. The IT services company is exhibiting strong follow-through momentum after breaking out from a consolidation phase. The price action is robust, backed by significant volume.
The stock's daily RSI is at 71, placing it in overbought territory. However, for strongly trending stocks, this can often precede further gains. The MACD is rising strongly at +44, indicating bullish continuation. The ADX is at 17, pointing to an early-stage trend.
The analyst believes that staying above the ₹1,935 level keeps the bullish trend intact, with a price target of ₹2,025. The recent breakout zone near ₹1,950 is expected to act as solid support. Key risks include sensitivity to USD-INR exchange rate fluctuations and global technology demand.
3. Samvardhana Motherson International Ltd (MOTHERSON)
The third pick is auto component major Motherson, trading at ₹117.55. The stock is in a steady uptrend, supported by improving trading volumes and a solid base formation. The daily RSI at 66 reflects a bullish undertone, while the MACD at +3 shows positive momentum above the zero line.
With an ADX reading of 18, the trend is in its early phase, which Bajaj suggests offers a favourable risk-reward setup for short-term traders.
The technical outlook indicates that a close above ₹115.20 sustains the bullish structure. The stock is poised to test the ₹122 level in the coming sessions, aided by strength in the broader automobile sector. Investors should be mindful of risks related to the global auto supply chain, the transition to electric vehicles, and foreign exchange volatility. A stop loss is recommended at ₹115.20.
Market Context and Sectoral Performance
The recommendations come on the back of a mixed trading session on 4 December. While the broader market edged higher, the Bank Nifty faced mild selling pressure, slipping 89.80 points (0.15%) to close at 59,647.20, indicating some profit-booking in financial stocks.
Sectoral performance was divided. The IT index led the gainers, rising 1.41%. Realty, FMCG, Pharma, Auto, and Public Sector Enterprise indices also closed in positive territory. On the losing side, the Media index fell the most, declining 1.45%, followed by marginal losses in Energy, Infrastructure, and Banking indices.
In stock-specific action, Hero MotoCorp was the top Nifty gainer, advancing 2.07%. IndusInd Bank, TCS, SBI Life, and Tech Mahindra were among other notable performers. Coal India, BPCL, and Hindalco were among the top losers.
Nifty Technical Outlook and Derivative Data
From a technical perspective, the Nifty 50's close at 26,033.75 shows it holding above the psychologically crucial 26,000 mark. The index trades above its key medium-term supports, with the 20-day simple moving average aligned with the closing price. However, daily momentum indicators like the RSI at 55.24 and a MACD giving a 'Sell' signal point to short-term indecision and potential momentum fatigue.
Derivatives data presents a mixed picture. The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) stands at 0.81, indicating a slight bearish bias. Option chain analysis reveals that the 26,000 strike holds the highest Put open interest, cementing it as immediate support. On the higher side, the 27,000 strike has the maximum Call OI, with 26,500 acting as a near-term resistance.
The overall outlook suggests the Nifty remains structurally positive above the 25,780–26,000 zone. However, a lack of strong directional momentum may keep the index range-bound between 25,900 and 26,200 in the immediate term. A decisive break above 26,200 could reignite the uptrend towards 26,500.
