The markets closed flat today after a stellar rally yesterday. The SENSEX closed at 16451.50 down 14.55 (-0.09%) while the NIFTY closed at 4955.80 slipping 11.50 (-0.23%).

While Reliance Industries closed up, TCS which announced good numbers yesterday took a beating today. Experts believe the current stock price already is factoring its potential near-future growth and that a target of Rs. 1200 is max for the script, atleast in the next 12 months time frame.
