- Technical analysis: Reclaimed its 200-EMA

- Target price: ₹8,200 in two to three months
- Stop loss: ₹6,500
Buy: Nazara Technologies Limited (current price: ₹402)

Benefiting from the rapid growth of the gaming and esports industry, supported by improving monetization, operating leverage, and AI/data-driven user acquisition capabilities.
- Key metrics: P/E: 17.10, 52-week high: ₹419.90, volume: ₹128.41 crore
- Technical analysis: Bounced from its 50-EMA
