The stock has previously carried a brokerage target of Rs 3,275, and today&#8217;s geopolitical backdrop adds a near-term sentiment tailwind on top of the structural defence capex story.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tech_Mahindra_%E2%80%93_Stock_to_Buy_Today\"><\/span><strong>Tech Mahindra &#8211; Stock to Buy Today<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sector: IT Services | CMP: Rs 1,510.30 | Entry Zone: Rs 1,495-1,515 | Target: Rs 1,575 | Stop Loss: Rs 1,460<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ankit Jaiswal notes <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/techm\/tech-mahindra-ltd-share-price-today\">Tech Mahindra<\/a> as one of the 10 stocks to buy today given the broader Nifty IT index&#8217;s sustained rally through this Q1 FY27 earnings season, following stronger than expected results from large-cap IT bellwethers earlier in the reporting cycle. Tech Mahindra&#8217;s ongoing margin recovery programme adds a company-specific catalyst on top of the sector-wide tailwind.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BHEL_%E2%80%93_Stock_to_Buy_Today\"><\/span><strong>BHEL &#8211; Stock to Buy Today<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sector: Capital Goods | CMP: Rs 435.40 | Entry Zone: Rs 425-438 | Target: Rs 465 | Stop Loss: Rs 405<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ankit Jaiswal flags <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/bhel\/bharat-heavy-electricals-ltd-share-price-today\">BHEL<\/a> among the 10 stocks to buy today after the company reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 376.71 crore for Q1 FY27 yesterday, a sharp turnaround from a net loss of Rs 455.50 crore a year earlier, with the power segment returning to profitability.

Brokerages have carried a target as high as Rs 18,633 on the stock, underpinned by its industrial and defence explosives order book.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Oil_India_%E2%80%93_Stock_to_Buy_Today\"><\/span><strong>Oil India &#8211; Stock to Buy Today<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sector: Energy | CMP: Rs 429.45 | Entry Zone: Rs 422-432 | Target: Rs 460 | Stop Loss: Rs 408<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kunal Singla flags <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/oil\/oil-india-ltd-share-price-today\">Oil India<\/a> among the 10 stocks to buy today given its 20 percent-plus upstream exposure to rising crude prices amid the Iran-US conflict, a combination that has historically driven relative outperformance during periods of crude driven risk aversion elsewhere in the market. As an upstream producer, Oil India benefits directly from higher realisations when crude prices climb.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maruti_Suzuki_%E2%80%93_Stock_to_Buy_Today\"><\/span><strong>Maruti Suzuki &#8211; Stock to Buy Today<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sector: Auto | CMP: Rs 13,783.00 | Entry Zone: Rs 13,600-13,850 | Target: Rs 14,400 | Stop Loss: Rs 13,250<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kunal Singla notes that <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/maruti\/maruti-suzuki-india-ltd-share-price-today\">Maruti Suzuki<\/a> was among Thursday&#8217;s Nifty 50 gainers, closing up over 1 percent as the Nifty Auto index extended its rally to a second straight session. As India&#8217;s largest passenger vehicle maker by volume, Maruti Suzuki&#8217;s relative strength through this week&#8217;s choppy trade makes it one of the cleaner continuation setups among the {pk}.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IndiGo_InterGlobe_Aviation_%E2%80%93_Stock_to_Buy_Today\"><\/span><strong>IndiGo (InterGlobe Aviation) &#8211; Stock to Buy Today<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sector: Aviation | CMP: Rs 5,265.50 | Entry Zone: Rs 5,180-5,280 | Target: Rs 5,550 | Stop Loss: Rs 5,020<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kunal Singla highlights <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/indigo\/interglobe-aviation-ltd-share-price-today\">IndiGo<\/a> among the 10 stocks to buy today after the airline closed up over 1 percent on Thursday even as rising crude oil prices, a major cost input for airlines, would typically be expected to pressure aviation stocks. This relative strength despite the crude oil headwind is exactly the kind of divergence Kunal Singla looks for when screening the 10 stocks to buy today.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bajaj_Finance_%E2%80%93_Stock_to_Buy_Today\"><\/span><strong>Bajaj Finance &#8211; Stock to Buy Today<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sector: NBFC | CMP: Rs 1,037.60 | Entry Zone: Rs 1,020-1,040 | Target: Rs 1,090 | Stop Loss: Rs 985<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kunal Singla rounds out today&#8217;s picks with <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/bajfinance\/bajaj-finance-ltd-share-price-today\">Bajaj Finance<\/a>, among Thursday&#8217;s Nifty 50 gainers, up over 1 percent even as the broader index closed flat. As one of India&#8217;s largest NBFCs, Bajaj Finance&#8217;s relative strength during an otherwise directionless session makes it a preferred name among the 10 stocks to buy today for investors seeking financial sector exposure with demonstrated momentum.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_These_10_Stocks_to_Buy_Today_Were_Selected\"><\/span><strong>How These 10 Stocks to Buy Today Were Selected<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>10 stocks to buy today on this list were screened using three overlapping filters: relative strength against Thursday&#8217;s flat Nifty close, sector-specific tailwinds from yesterday&#8217;s Iran-Jordan escalation and continuing crude oil strength, and, in BHEL&#8217;s case, a fresh Q1 FY27 results catalyst. This combination is designed to surface names with more than one supporting factor rather than single-signal picks.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Risks_for_Todays_Stocks_to_Buy\"><\/span><strong>Risks for Today&#8217;s Stocks to Buy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Every list of 10 stocks to buy today carries risk alongside opportunity. A sudden de-escalation in Iran-US tensions could quickly unwind the geopolitical risk premium currently supporting defence and energy names on this list, while a sharp reversal in crude oil prices would remove the tailwind behind ONGC and Oil India specifically. Investors should size positions according to their own risk tolerance and use the stop loss levels above as a starting reference rather than a guarantee.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>10 stocks to buy today, 17 July 2026, span defence, energy, IT, auto and financial services, reflecting both yesterday&#8217;s Iran-Jordan escalation and company-specific catalysts like BHEL&#8217;s Q1 FY27 turnaround. Ankit Jaiswal&#8217;s picks, Bharat Electronics, ONGC, Mazagon Dock, Tech Mahindra and BHEL, lean into the defence and energy tailwinds, while Kunal Singla&#8217;s picks, Solar Industries, Oil India, Maruti Suzuki, IndiGo and Bajaj Finance, combine sector momentum with demonstrated relative strength. As with any list of stocks to buy today, use the defined entry zones, targets and stop losses, and treat every level as indicative rather than guaranteed.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #CC0000; border-radius: 8px; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 24px 0;\">\n<p style=\"color: #ffffff; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0;\"><strong style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Disclaimer:<\/strong> Data and figures in this article are sourced from publicly available information.
