PCBL Chemical Share Price Target

“PCBL chemical has undergone big expansion in its capacity with a greenfield project at Chennai & a brownfield expansion at Mundra plant and the coming quarters will reflect the contribution of this expansion with growth in revenue. Technically the stock has corrected from the highs of 577 to 383. Technically the stock tested the double bottom made at 380 on weekly charts and the 50 week moving average is at 375. Good region to add for long term investors,” said Vinod Jhaveri, Independent Analyst, Pure Technicals.

“PCBL is bearish yet slightly oversold on the Daily charts with next support at 371. Investors should buy only if Daily close is above resistance of 401 could lead to a target of 452 in the near term,” commented A R Ramachandran, Independent Research Analyst.
