Stocks to Watch Today: Insurance Names Reel, Defence and EV Stocks in Focus

PB Fintech extends IRDAI-driven slide, RSI at 22, deeply oversold. Angel One cools on Macquarie’s Neutral call. Vikran Engineering, Kaveri Seed see volume spikes on bullish setups.

Quick Answer

Today’s stocks to watch today are led by the insurance distribution pack, with PB Fintech and Max Financial Services extending Thursday’s IRDAI fee-cap-driven selloff into deeply oversold territory. Angel One is cooling off after a fresh Macquarie Neutral rating, while defence and EV-linked names including Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders, Olectra Greentech and JBM Auto are also under technical pressure. On the other side, Vikran Engineering and Kaveri Seed Company stand out on strong volume and bullish SuperTrend signals.

Univest’s research team, led by Ankit Jaiswal and Kunal Singla, is flagging a session where insurance-linked names remain the dominant theme, spilling over from Thursday’s regulatory-driven selloff, even as pockets of strength persist in mid-cap industrials.

Jaiswal noted that PB Fintech‘s RSI reading in the low 20s marks one of the most oversold conditions seen on a large-cap stock this quarter, while Singla flagged that Vikran Engineering and Kaveri Seed Company are among the few names showing genuine bullish momentum against an otherwise cautious tape.

Why Insurance Stocks Dominate Today’s Watchlist

IRDAI’s proposed expenses-of-management limits, which could cut fee income for banks and digital insurance brokers by as much as 90 percent in high-margin categories, continue to weigh on the sector a day after the news first broke. PB Fintech and Max Financial Services remain the most exposed among the names Univest tracks, given their direct reliance on distribution fee income.

Conclusion

Stocks to watch today skew cautious in the insurance and select EV-linked names, while order-win-driven stories like Vikran Engineering and volume-backed movers like Kaveri Seed Company offer pockets of relative strength. As always, Ankit Jaiswal and Kunal Singla’s watch-list flags a starting point for further research, not a standalone trading signal.
