Stock Recommendations: Sumeet Bagadia Suggests 5 Stocks to Buy Today (December 19, 2025)

Indian stock indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, concluded trading on Thursday, December 18, with minimal movement and a slightly negative bias, influenced by a lack of fresh market catalysts.

The Sensex experienced a decline of 78 points, equivalent to 0.09%, settling at 84,481.81. Similarly, the Nifty 50 saw a marginal decrease of 3 points, or 0.01%, to close at 25,815.55. The BSE Midcap index showed a slight increase of 0.05%, while the Smallcap index registered a decrease of 0.28%.

**Sumeet Bagadia's Stock Picks**

Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, noted a cautious sentiment in the Indian stock market. He observed that the Nifty 50 index had reduced its gains after rebounding from its 50-day EMA support level of 25,750.

Bagadia commented, "The key benchmark index closed near 25,800 and faces resistance around 26,000 on the upside. A positive trend is anticipated only if the 50-stock index closes above 26,000. Should the index decisively fall below 25,750, it might test the 25,450 to 25,350 range. Therefore, a stock-specific approach is advisable, focusing on stocks demonstrating technical strength. Identifying breakout stocks could be a beneficial strategy."
