As the days grow longer and temperatures rise, one thing becomes clear—summer is in full swing in India. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts a hotter-than-usual season from April to June, with heat waves expected to hit the southern peninsula, central India, eastern India, and the northwestern plains. But amidst this sweltering forecast, there’s a sweet way to stay cool and enjoy the season: ice cream.
It’s no surprise that ice cream stock is soaring during this scorching time of year. One company in particular, Vadilal Industries Ltd., has caught the attention of investors. Vadilal’s stock recently hit a new 52-week high, climbing over 7% in a single day, signaling a breakout from a consolidation pattern. This pattern had a depth of almost 14%, suggesting that from the breakout level of Rs 4660, the stock could see an additional 14% increase.
Technical indicators support this bullish trend. The daily MACD is pointing upward while staying above its nine-period average, reinforcing a positive outlook for the stock. The daily 14-period RSI has also generated a bullish crossover, confirming the upward momentum. Furthermore, the Average Directional Index (ADX), a measure of trend strength, is at 24.39 and in an uptrend, with the +DI significantly above the -DI. These factors all point to continued strength for Vadilal Industries.
Vadilal Industries is a key player in the ice cream and frozen food market, selling its products through Vadilal Enterprises Ltd. (VEL). The company also exports products, with its U.S. retail business handled by Vadilal Industries (USA) Inc. This global reach has contributed to the company’s outstanding stock performance, which has soared by 90.38% year-to-date and by 141% in the past 12 months, delivering impressive returns to investors.
Keeping Cool with Sweet Treats
As summer continues to heat up, the demand for cool treats like ice cream is only expected to grow. With its strong market position and promising stock performance, Vadilal Industries is well-positioned to make the most of this seasonal surge. So, the next time you’re feeling the heat, grab an ice cream and enjoy the sweet side of summer while keeping an eye on this rising stock.
