These midcap stocks with ‘Strong buy’ & ‘Buy’ recos can rally over 25%, according to analysts
The Q4 earning season is clearly showing its impact on parts of the market. Given the fact that the valuations are high, if there is a slight miss by the company on its expected numbers, the street is being uncharitable in its reaction. On the face of it this might appear to be negative but the fact is that the street is also rewarding the stocks where there is either a positive surprise in Q4 earnings or any of the problems are getting solved. Like in the case of some companies which are seeing the lifting of restrictions by the RBI. So the street is at equilibrium level where it clearly shows that while there is no dearth of money for performers but at the same time if the valuations are high and there is no major positive surprise then it is probably time to shed some weight. Keep an eye on the market breadth in coming days and on the mutual fund numbers which are going to come today to figure out what will be the trend of mid-caps in the short term. ET screener powered by Refinitiv’s Stock Report Plus lists down quality stocks with high upside potential over the next 12 months, having an average recommendation rating of “buy” or "strong buy".
