Shares of HFCL, the telecommunication equipment maker, are on a roll post company's Q4 earnings and strong order wins. The HFCL stock has gained 109% in 2026 and 90% in a year, making it strongly overbought on charts with RSI climbing to 91.8. An RSI above 70 indicates a stock is overbought or has more buyers than sellers in a trading session.
The stock hit a 52-week high of Rs 147.75 in the previous session
Virat Jagad Sr. Technical Research Analyst at Bonanza said," HFCL has witnessed a strong breakout move supported by sharp volume expansion and bullish price action after consolidating near the Rs 70–80 zone for several months. RSI is near 89, reflecting strong momentum but also signaling overbought conditions, so fresh entry should be considered only on minor dips or consolidation. For fresh positions, entry can be considered near Rs 142–145 with stop loss at Rs 136, which now acts as immediate support, while upside targets remain Rs 155 and Rs 165. Existing holders can continue to ride the trend with a trailing stop loss at Rs 136 as the stock continues to form higher highs and higher lows with sustained buying interest."
Sachin Gupta, Vice President – Technical Research, Choice Broking said, "The rapid rise has also pushed momentum indicators into overheated territory. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently around 91, suggesting the stock may be overbought in the short term. While the rally has been extremely fast, the stock could witness temporary profit booking or consolidation before the next leg of the upmove. Rather than chasing prices at current levels, traders may consider waiting for a healthy correction toward the Rs 132–Rs 135 zone for better risk-reward opportunities. As long as HFCL remains above the important support level of Rs 128, the broader bullish trend is expected to stay intact. If the momentum continues, the stock could gradually move toward the Rs 160 mark in the coming weeks."
In the current session, HFCL shares slipped 3.75% to Rs 141.10. Market cap of the firm stood at Rs 21,849 crore. It also hit a high of Rs 147 in the same session.
