Own midcaps? Do a check & balance exercise to avoid decision of haste: 7 midcaps from different sectors with an upside potential of upto 49%
Every now and then the market goes through phases, where it prefers a certain set of stocks, not based on sector but based on the overall market cap. So, sometimes it is large caps, at other mid-caps. Now this partially happens, due to the flows which are coming to markets. For example, if more flows are coming to mid-cap or multicap schemes there is bound to be out performance in the mid-cap space. Now what it does is that it tends to create a sudden surge in mid-cap. Similarly when there is an outflow like the kind of one which we saw in March this year, midcap stocks tend to decline sharply. Essentially, it is the flows which impact the broader matrix of how midcaps behave. So there are phases not owning a midcap stocks appeared to sin and then there phase, where owning them appears to be sin. But if one focuses on the underlying business and some critical parameters, there is a possibility of getting rid of these phases of anxiety which keep coming to the street and create long term wealth.
Stock picks of the week: 5 stocks with consistent score improvement and upside potential of up to 41%
The street has got what it was looking for, exit polls predicting a win of NDA which essentially continues the policy making framework which has been in place for the last ten years and has been working well for the economy. There is another thing which will happen, there are going to be some areas which will get more focus in the coming days. So, next we might see some sectors and stocks doing extremely well, while others may continue to be laggards. These selected stocks depict a strong upward trajectory in their overall average score which is based on five key pillars i.e. earnings, fundamentals, relative valuation, risk and price momentum. This implies that there has been a significant improvement in their market outlook in the given time frame.

Power stocks: Both PSUs and pvt ones got re-rated. Ready for another round in Modi 3.0? 6 stocks with upside potential of up to 37%
The summer heat leads to high power consumption is a well known fact. What has been the difference in the headlines this year and last two or three years? The news about massive power cuts and the possibility of power plants running out of coal is missing. The news which is dominating is that power demand is high and is being met. This change is the result of many things, right from optimism at one point of time to absolute despair at another. Finally policy push and discipline and integrated approach toward solving the issue of the sector, whether it for thermal, solar, wind or hydro. This led to a certain level of re-rating in Modi 2.0 which is likely to get pace in Modi 3.0. One thing which goes unnoticed is the fact that the power sector moving out of the trouble not only means good news for power companies but also the banks, because after metal, power companies topped the list of NPA of the banks.
Not so well known stakeholders of EV ecosystem: 8 stocks that don't come instinctively, 3 with an upside potential of more than 18%

Candidates of strong directional move on 4th June: 5 PSU stocks which have benefited the most due to government policy push and spending
In the last two years, it is a well known fact that every PSU stock has been re-rated by the street, right from perennial under-performers like oil marketing and refining oil companies to PSU banks. But if one looks a bit deeper there are some which have been re-rated more than others. The reason, these are PSUs which are from the sectors where the government has clearly decided are its priority areas and there has been a policy push for these sectors. A company which is going to be providing finance for the expansion of the solar energy network which is the next focus of the government. The overall demand runway for these sectors is longer which means overall growth will be higher when confirmation of policy continuity comes. Also they are in business where it would be difficult for the private sector to compete. Now because it is the policy push which matters, the continuity of tailwinds of higher government spending, will push them for another round of re-rating on the result day.
Stock picks of the week: 5 stocks with consistent score improvement and upside potential of up to 39%
While it is always better to focus on what is happening to the individual stocks, there times it becomes “a must” before taking any decision. The reason, there is a possibility of greater divergence in how the broader market indices like Nifty and Sensex move and how the individual stocks and sector perform. A week before the election results, the way the market is panning out, it is clear that the street is working with the base case scenario of policy continuity. So, next we might see some sectors and stocks doing extremely well, while others may continue to be laggards. These selected stocks depict a strong upward trajectory in their overall average score which is based on five key pillars i.e. earnings, fundamentals, relative valuation, risk and price momentum. This implies that there has been a significant improvement in their market outlook in the given time frame.
Power stocks: Stay with the re-rated ones in Modi 2.0 for next round in 3.0, just hedge a bit, 5 stocks with upside potential of upto 23%
In the last ten years there have been many sectors which have come out of their troubled past, but the power sector probably stands out for multiple reasons. First, moving out of trouble not only meant that power companies were able to stand on their own feet, but also a big amount of NPA which the banks were saddled with was due to power companies being in the red. So, the health of the power sector, especially the private companies, has seen an improvement. Because there are a large number of PSUs in the power sector, due to policy push and changes in the policy a number of them have seen better performance. Now because any sector where the government and its policies have played an important role in terms of revival, the continuation of the policy framework becomes critical for the sector. So in such a sector, shareholders should hedge before the election results so that their decisions are not impacted by the narrative that FPI are selling due to polls.
Suited for investors with long-term time horizon: 5 midcap stocks with upside potential of up to 30%
If one looks at how the sentiment cycle has moved in the last five months for the mid-cap, it has come full circle. At the start of the year 2024, “hope” nothing can go wrong with mid-caps, so load them. Then comes fear in the middle of February which peaks by the end of March. The again hope in April and now at this point of time “confusion” At this point of time the question whether “ I should sell or buy more” needs to be replaced by “what business do I own and whether that business is going to grow or not” The reason why it is important to change the question itself is the fact that it business on the ground which will make the difference between in final returns. Another thing is whether the management has seen good and bad times, because that is what gives them the ability to deliver in all conditions.
Stocks with tailwinds called advantage India: 5 largecap stocks from 3 different sectors with an upside potential of upto 36 %
In terms of valuations and sentiment we are not far from the place where we were in the last quarter of 2023 or early part of this year. When it was not possible to find stocks which can be called as “fairly valued” forget “undervalued”, and the sentiment was very bullish. The only difference between then and now is that we have election results which are coming up. Surely a confirmation on 4th June that continuity in the policy making is a big factor. But there is another thing which long term investors need to look at before investing. Whether the company or the sector has an advantage due to India as a country. A well known example, which has been present for decades is that of the IT industry. India as a country is a factory of software engineers, and that is our strength. So when investing for the long term, look at sectors where we have some strong tailwinds due to our human capital.
Focus on both, the sector & stock and then stay with them: 4 smallcap stocks for medium- to long-term perspective
Knowing risks and managing those risks are two different things. Knowing risk is easy, everyone knows that small cap stocks are probably the riskiest part of the stock market. but managing the risk is more complicated than it appears. Why are we bringing this up at this point of time ? Because the risk on trade which has been in place in the Indian equity market , got a significant boost when state elections results indicated higher probability of the present central government coming back to power.
Delhi's outdoor workers, low-income households bear brunt of deadly heat
Delhi faces extreme heat due to climate change, impacting outdoor workers, low-income communities, and informal houses.

Cruel Summer: Rethinking how to live, work in a world that is getting warmer
As this year’s summer, with its extended heat waves and record temperatures, warns, how to adapt to a warmer world is no longer a hypothetical question. A new study by World Weather Attribution says climate change has made a 30-day heat wave in South Asia 45 times more likely and 0.85o C hotter. Experts say we need to rethink the kind of houses we live in and offices we construct, how we grow our crops and the way we look at the impact of heat on our bodies, even as we tackle reducing the use of fossil fuels.
Railways stocks: Stay bullish, just hedge a bit to avoid mistake of selling in haste: 7 outperforming railways stocks across different segments
Even the best of the rational brain can make wrong decisions when there is too much noise which gets created due to a narrative. Now for the last few days a narrative has been created that due to polls, FPI are selling. These kinds of narratives tend to hit the sector and stocks which are sitting with big gains and are dependent on government policy push. Railways was among the last sectors to get re-rated due to the policy focus. Whether it was companies which are financing the expansion of railways or private sector companies which are making coaches, all of them have done extremely well. Given the fact the railways is likely to be the focus area, the long term story remains intact. Only thing is that one might end up selling the long term winner early because of the narrative. Rather than getting jittery, it would be better to create a hedge and stay with the stocks where there has been a big change in the fundamental ways things operate and the sector has a long runway.
Bearing the brunt today, but good for long term: 6 stocks with pedigree from the financial services sector with upside potential of up to 28%
One of the best and probably also the worst part of the presentation of return performance of any stocks or for that matter any asset class is a small change in the date for the calculation and one can show whether the glass is half full or half empty. Probably this is happening with the financial service stocks. In the recent past a number of times they have been shown as under performers. But what is being omitted is the fact that over the long term these are stocks which have delivered very good returns and generated wealth. The reason for their short term underperformance is the fact that these stocks are over owned by FPI and because they are sellers in Indian equities these stocks have been facing pressure. But on a relative basis, the pressure in stock prices is far less as compared to what earlier such selling episodes used to bring. Given the fact that fundamentally these stocks are on strong footing as compared to what they were a few years back, it is better to have a look at them with a long term perspective.
Focussed ‘underlying business’ approach of long-term investing: 5 non-Nifty largecap stocks with upside potential of up to 39%
Whether one accepts it or not, when someone uses the word large cap, first names which would come to mind would be nifty stocks. Because somehow the word large cap has become synonymous with nifty stocks. But the fact is that the world of large caps is much bigger and there are stocks which have been able to show strong out performance in troubled times of volatility, we take a look at them. When it comes to long term investing in the same industry, some players are able to show better performance in terms of growth. This could be because of belonging to a strong group, because the management had set the business in a way that it is able to take headwinds or the market size is so large that growth is bound to make and it comes with better margins to efficient players. We take a look at 5 stocks where the underlying business is strong and good to own business for the long term.

These largecaps have ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos and upside potential of more than 20%
Just because the nifty has been trading in the red for the last few trading sessions, the word correction might be heard on the street. but the fact is that for the last many weeks, there has been a correction which has been taking place on the street. It is a sectoral correction which is taking place. The good part is that such kind of sectoral corrections are indicative of underlying bullishness and these corrections are part of any bull run. Though for all this will hold true only with a condition of policy continuity after elections. The only thing any investor needs to make sure is that in any corrective phase, bias when making fresh investment should be toward large cap stocks as there is a possibility that they would see less damage in corrections which are stronger in nature due to global or macro developments. 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". The screener applies different algorithms for all BSE and NSE stocks.
Higher ability to withstand sudden headwinds: 5 largecap stocks with right mix of RoE & RoCE
There are two kinds of risk in equity markets, first the overall market or asset class risk. Second is individual risk. First risk is not under control of anyone, because it can hit the market due to any reason, right from any geopolitical uncertainty to any monetary event in any part of the world. Probably the first kind of risk got played recently with the flip flop of the US and development in the middle east. The second risk which is individual risk is about the choice of the stock which one buys. In equities after a point of time it is more important to manage individual risk than to take risk. In equities the risk is more in the short term, over longer term, it is not very high. One way to manage risk is that when valuations are high, move to companies which have strong and large balance sheets and have seen many economic cycles and have survived the slowdowns in the past.
Stock picks of the week: 4 stocks with consistent score improvement and upside potential of up to 39%
Last week’s movement of the market has brought back some memories of what happened in March 2024. Given the event risk in terms of election results, we might see higher volatility as some profit booking takes place.

If one is taking fresh exposure to equity, ensure that there is some level of quality as far as the business and fundamentals are concerned. These selected stocks depict a strong upward trajectory in their overall average score which is based on five key pillars i.e. earnings, fundamentals, relative valuation, risk and price momentum. This implies that there has been a significant improvement in their market outlook in the given time frame.
