Ajit Mishra: It could be due to different trading or investment horizon. Also, if someone has bought at lower levels and getting decent returns, it’s prudent to book profits. However, if someone has just entered and the stock shows potential to yield further returns, we advise to hold as well.

You may hold the stock if have a long term view.
