Mehul Kothari, head of equity research at Anand Rathi Wealth, has identified three stocks trading below ₹100 as attractive short-term buys: Trident Limited, UCO Bank, and MMTC.

The recommendations come as Indian equity benchmarks pause after a three-week winning streak, with investors adopting a cautious stance following recent rallies.

Kothari’s selection focuses on value and technical setup in the small-cap and mid-cap segments.

Trident, a textile manufacturer, is cited for its operational resilience.

UCO Bank is highlighted for potential re-rating in the public sector banking space, while MMTC is flagged for its commodity trading exposure.

These picks align with a broader broker consensus that selective opportunities remain despite near-term consolidation.
