Stock market recommendations: Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd recommends the top stock picks for the week starting February 9, 2026.

These are: SAIL, and Ventive Hospitality.

Here’s a detailed analysis:

SAILSAIL delivered an in-line operating performance in 3QFY26, with healthy steel volumes offsetting weak realizations, underscoring improving execution and cost discipline.

Sales volumes rose 16% YoY to 5.15 million tonnes, aided by aggressive inventory liquidation and stronger market outreach, while inventory levels declined to 2.4 million tonnes, releasing working capital and strengthening the balance sheet. Although average realizations softened, profitability was supported by scale benefits, stable coking coal costs during the quarter, and disciplined operating controls.

Management commentary points to a more constructive near-term outlook, with January price hikes expected to fully reflect in February realizations, further inventory reduction planned in 4Q, and operations normalized across key plants.

Medium-term visibility is reinforced by sustained volume targets, ongoing deleveraging, and a structured capex program focused on modernization and efficiency gains, which should structurally improve cost competitiveness over the cycle.Ventive HospitalityVentive Hospitality (VENTIVE) operates marquee luxury assets in the hospitality (77%) and annuity (23%) segments.

It is expanding its presence beyond Pune to high-growth cities like Bengaluru & Navi Mumbai, reducing concentration risk.

Alongside Soho House partnership (membership-based revenue), these expansions support stronger occupancy, revenue and medium-term earnings visibility.

In its hospitality segment, international operations account for 54% of segment revenue, and is expected to deliver 21%/27% revenue/EBITDA CAGR over FY25-28, supported by new developments, rising luxury demand, and improved connectivity.

Over FY25-28, we expect VENTIVE to deliver a 21% CAGR in both revenue and EBITDA, driven by rapid multi-city expansion, diversification into membership-led hospitality via Soho House and strong overseas performance led by high-ADR Maldives assets and expansion into Sri Lanka. Adj.

PAT is likely to double, supported by operating leverage, lower interest costs and reduced tax burden.(Disclaimer: Recommendations and views on the stock market, other asset classes or personal finance management tips given by experts are their own.
