On April 23, Rahul Mohindar of Viratechindia said, "Bajaj Hindusthan is a good midcap pick at these levels. There is every possible thing that it may go past Rs 100 as well. So even at these levels it looks an interesting buy on a momentum point of view, Rs 65 is a very good support that the stock has built for itself now. The only key criteria on this stock is to really get past the recent highs that is has made; it could just double top so that’s the only risk that we are running, so Rs 75 is a level, past which we could be in a safe zone.”
