MarketSmith India recommends buying Ujjivan Small Finance Bank at around ₹68-69 with a target of ₹80 in two to three months, citing consolidation base breakout, strong microfinance franchise, and improving asset quality. It also recommends Suryoday Small Finance Bank at ₹193-196 with a target of ₹240, based on a cup-with-handle base breakout and growing secured loan portfolio. Separately, Indian benchmarks fell for the fourth straight session on 23 July, with Sensex down 0.47% at 76,391.39 and Nifty 50 down 0.53% at 23,869.60, weighed by surging crude oil prices linked to the West Asia conflict.
