In the process, ITC shares surpassed their September Series targets of Rs 225 given by Nilesh Jain, Assistant Vice President (AVP), Equity Research Technical and Derivatives at Centrum Broking.

The current movement is after the stock has broken a 2-year consolidation, Jain said. He puts revised target price to Rs 270 with a positional term view, while stop loss at Rs 220. In the short term, the target price is Rs 240.

He advises against any fresh buys in this stock at these levels as the stock is already trading close to its highs. Buy on dips is advised, he further said.

Existing shareholders must hold this stock for the target price of Rs 270.

The ITC stock has been a sector and market laggard with 1-year returns lower by 22.76 per cent from that of the Sensex.
