Chandan Taparia recommends Mankind Pharma, Kotak Mahindra Bank, and Ashok Leyland as buy ideas for 19 Sept.

Mankind Pharma: breakout from a symmetrical triangle; target ~₹2,800; stop loss ~₹2,550. 

Kotak Mahindra Bank: breach above double-bottom neckline, closed above 50-day EMA; target ~₹2,125; stop ~₹2,020. 

Ashok Leyland gets attention as cyclical demand in auto & commercial vehicles picks up. 

Taparia also notes Bank Nifty’s support around 55,500; resistance seen near 56,000-56,250. 

Technical strength in these names is backed by rising volumes and positive indicators. 

Risk remains from macro headwinds like interest rates & input costs. 

Traders may use these as short to medium-term plays. 

For investors, keeping stop losses tight is advised in volatile conditions. 

Overall, these stock calls reflect a cautious optimism in select names amid broader market pressure.
