Top three stocks to buy today, 9 September, as recommended by Ankush Bajaj:

Three stocks to trade, recommended by NeoTrader’s Raja Venkatraman:
Suven Life Sciences Ltd (Cmp 233.36)
SUVEN: Buy above 234 and dips to ₹215 | Stop ₹210 | Target ₹255-265
Why it’s recommended: SUVEN has recently been in a state of sharp decline, and the recent recovery indicates that the decline is now receding. The last two quarters have not been encouraging, but the rebound from lower levels that are emerging indicates that the trends can showcase some robustness.
