Derivatives & Quantitative Outlook

The insurance space has remained largely range bound in the last couple of months with stocks like Max Financial Services underperforming its peers in the ongoing recovery. We believe the stock has substantial room for upsides. After remaining range bound for some time, the recent up move is likely to continue towards Rs. 700 and higher.

The open interest in the stock has increased gradually in the last two months. Current OI in the stock is at a three-month high. OI in the stock was close to 2.5 million shares in early March. The current OI is no different at present levels while the stock has moved back to its 52-week highs. Considering continuous outperformance and resilience by the stock, we expect fresh accumulation to be seen, which should take it higher in the upcoming sessions.
