Will mid and specialized IT companies pay more as the sector makes a comeback ? 6 Mid sized IT stocks with upside potential of upto 41%
It was after a long period of time that IT stock made a comeback on Friday as reflected in the top gainers list which was dominated by IT stocks. Now the question is whether it is another false start or the Q1 results from TCS and HCL tech are reflecting the fact that the street has been more pessimistic on the sector than it was required. The answer to this would be clear in another couple of days, but the way they have been performing, there is a higher probability of it being more sustainable this time. The fact is IT companies are one of most researched companies in India. But the focus of that research is largely on TOP 5 five companies. While the fact is that the Indian IT sector is far bigger than just these companies. There are many niche areas where mid and small cap IT companies have been able to make their mark and a distinction needs to be made when looking at the sector and probably because the are not over owned by large institutional investor.

Will consumer durables & EMS stocks see another round of re-rating? 7 stocks with an upside potential of up to 24%
There are talks of the budget being focussed on two things, one giving continued push to investment and second to increase the disposable income in the hands of people. The second could be done by cutting taxes or making changes with the tax slab. While many sectors will feel the impact but one of the sectors which may feel maximum impact is the consumer durable sector. Now given the fact that the consumer durable sector has a closed link with the EMS companies, they both have to be looked at together.

IT stocks: A comeback which just needs a bit more confirmation; 7 stocks with an upside potential of up to 23%
Just before the expiry of the June series contract, bulls were seen in a segment of the market which has been long ignored by them — IT stocks. Because the upward movement was taking place at the end of expiry, one could not rule out the element of short covering. If one looks a bit deeper in the trend in IT stocks, two things have become clear. That while the news and opinion has been negative, the price action has not been so bad as has been painted. Now let's look at what happened in the IT sector and why there could be a case for contrarian buying. Yes, the sector has some headwinds which not many had thought would appear two years back. But the bigger question is whether this phase of underperformance is about to get over or not. It might be time to shed the bias of negativity around large IT players.

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".
