StockEdge Technical View :
INOX Leisure Limited is consolidating above the weekly support zone and likely to stay positive in the medium term till it stays above the 295-305 zone. Probable resistance in the medium term comes at 350-355 zone. Further momentum to be seen only above swing high of 359 level. Technical parameters look neutral as of now.
BottomLine:
Financials and disruptions due to OTT should be seen for 2 more quarters before taking any Investment call for the company as there are too many fixed costs which will come back post 100% occupancy. Thus till FY22 no major improvement in Financials is expected.
