Muhurat trading is on Sunday, 8 Nov 2026, from 2:20 PM to 3:30 PM, with a pre-open session from 2:05 PM to 2:15 PM, according to one broker’s guide, and Axis Securities has named nine Muhurat stocks with 12-month targets that imply up to 20% upside from 23 Oct prices. On the 27 Oct close, five of the nine are above their 23 Oct price (my calculation), so the remaining upside to target is smaller for most of them.
Quick Answer
Axis Securities’ nine Muhurat stocks for Samvat 2083 are DCB Bank (target Rs 240), Nephrocare Health Services (Rs 710), Indian Hotels (Rs 900), Ashok Leyland (Rs 170), Coforge (Rs 2,245), Eternal (Rs 365), Hindalco (Rs 1,000), APL Apollo Tubes (Rs 2,340) and Elecon Engineering (Rs 500). Axis set the targets on prices of 23 Oct 2026 with a 12-month horizon and a staggered, buy-on-dips approach. Against the 27 Oct close, the remaining upside to target ranges from about 5.7% for APL Apollo Tubes to about 23.1% for DCB Bank (my calculation). This is educational and not a recommendation.
Muhurat stocks are chosen for a one-year view, not for the one-hour Muhurat trading session itself, so the useful question is how much upside is left after prices have moved. This article lists the Axis Securities Muhurat stocks with the live price, the upside to target and the technical reading, then adds the other broker list that was available and the macro triggers Axis names for Samvat 2083.
I could not retrieve Axis Securities’ own stop loss levels, and the sources do not give a full risk section for every stock. The Muhurat session date and timings come from a broker guide, so confirm them in the exchange circular. It is educational and not advice.

Axis Securities Muhurat Stocks: Targets and Upside From Live Prices
| Muhurat stocks: stock | Price on 23 Oct | Axis target (12 months) | Close on 27 Oct | Upside to target from 27 Oct close (my calculation) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DCB Bank | Rs 200 | Rs 240 | Rs 194.90 | 23.1% |
| Elecon Engineering | Rs 416 | Rs 500 | Rs 428.35 | 16.7% |
| Coforge | Rs 1,901 | Rs 2,245 | Rs 1,997 | 12.4% |
| Ashok Leyland | Rs 145 | Rs 170 | Rs 142 | 19.7% |
| Hindalco Industries | Rs 870 | Rs 1,000 | Rs 891.20 | 12.2% |
| APL Apollo Tubes | Rs 2,034 | Rs 2,340 | Rs 2,213.90 | 5.7% |
| Eternal | Rs 317 | Rs 365 | Rs 331 | 10.3% |
| Indian Hotels Company | Rs 782 | Rs 900 | Rs 812.85 | 10.7% |
| Nephrocare Health Services | Rs 596 | Rs 710 | Rs 634.60 | 11.9% |
Axis put the upside to its target price at 15% to 20% on 23 Oct prices. Since then APL Apollo Tubes has risen about 8.8%, Nephrocare Health Services about 6.5% and Coforge about 5.1%, which is why their remaining upside is lower. DCB Bank and Ashok Leyland are below their 23 Oct prices, by about 2.6% and 2.1%. These Muhurat stocks therefore start Samvat 2083 from different points.

Among these Muhurat stocks, Ashok Leyland has the weakest RSI at 27.53, which is in oversold territory, and Indian Hotels has the strongest at 72.19, which is overbought. Elecon Engineering is the only one with a negative SuperTrend signal. These readings describe the trend and are not targets.
Another Broker’s Muhurat Stocks for Comparison
| Muhurat stocks: Kotak Neo list | Target | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Adani Ports | Rs 1,900 | Buy |
| Acutaas Chemical | Rs 1,780 | Buy |
| Cummins | Rs 4,400 | Add |
| Eternal | Rs 375 | Buy |
| ICICI Bank | Rs 1,700 | Buy |
| Mahindra & Mahindra | Rs 4,000 | Buy |
| Reliance Industries | Rs 1,555 | Add |
The Diwali 2026 page that lists these Muhurat stocks says they are quoted as examples and not as a recommendation. Eternal appears in both lists, with a target of Rs 365 from Axis and Rs 375 on this page, so two brokers agree on the direction but not on the number.
What Axis Says Could Drive Samvat 2083
Axis calls Samvat 2082 volatile and correction-heavy and says domestic fundamentals remain resilient. It lists eight triggers for a better Samvat 2083: crude oil stabilising around USD 85 to USD 90 a barrel, interest rates peaking with inflation moderating, a recovery in foreign portfolio flows with a stable rupee, steady earnings growth, an India-US trade agreement, continued government capex, ongoing retail liquidity and inflation cooling toward the RBI’s target. If these triggers do not arrive, the Muhurat stocks above lose their support.
Risks and What to Watch Next
- Moved prices. The upside to target has fallen for several Muhurat stocks since 23 Oct, so check live prices before using a target.
- Costs. Raw material costs and metal prices can squeeze Ashok Leyland and Hindalco.
- Macro triggers. Crude, rates and foreign flows must cooperate for the Samvat 2083 outlook to hold.
- Valuation and momentum. Indian Hotels has an RSI of 72.19, which signals a stretched run.
- Targets are opinions. Axis targets are estimates and may not match actual returns.
Conclusion: Use Muhurat Stocks as a Watchlist, Not a Signal
The nine Muhurat stocks from Axis Securities cover banking, IT, autos, metals, hotels, consumer internet, capital goods and healthcare, with a 12-month view and a buy-on-dips approach. Prices have already moved, so the useful step is to compare live upside, results and your own risk profile. Treat them as a watchlist for Samvat 2083 and not as a one-day trade. Verify the filings before acting.
