The stock has fallen 8.18 per cent in the previous five sessions. On a year-to-date (YTD) basis, it has moved 2.72 per cent higher.

Independent Analyst Manish Shah said, "The issue with the Suzlon Energy stock is that, historically, its share price has never seen a dependable bull run and a rally tends to fizzle out after seeing a short period of gains."

Shah advised traders to keep a stop loss below Rs 8 and hold for 3-6 months.

Pravesh Gour, Senior Technical Analyst at Swastika Investmart, said, "On the downside, at any correction, Rs 8 is major support, while Rs 7.25 is the next critical support level."

Meanwhile, Indian equity benchmarks slumped today, dragged by selling pressure in bank, financial, automobile, metal, consumer and energy stocks. The 30-share BSE Sensex tanked 635 points or 1.03 per cent to close at 61,067, while the broader NSE Nifty moved 186 points or 1.01 per cent down to finish at 18,199.
