Stock picks of the week: 5 stocks with consistent score improvement and upside potential of up to 43%
While the indices might be witnessing correction on intra intra-basis, the broader markets are still very much under the control of the bulls. There is greater likelihood of bullish sentiment continuing, so be bullish but more than anything else in the long term what matters for a stock is earnings and valuation. So be selective, avoid impulsive investing, and keep reviewing one’s portfolio and stay away from penny stocks especially. It is very likely that some of the penny stocks will fly and be distributed amongst retail investors. We look at stocks which have witnessed a continuous rise in their score in the last one month. 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.
For volatile market conditions: 5 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 29%
Once again on Wednesday, there was a lesson for all who think that bull markets don't see volatility. All of sudden there was a sharp dip in Nifty and other broader market indices, except bank nifty which was trading in green thanks to the fact its largest constituent HDFC bank was trading in green. When valuations are high, volatility never gives notice before coming so one should always be prepared for it. Another point to be watched, if the frequency of the volatile phase increases and if it starts to happen every other fortnight, it might be an indication of profit booking. There is a possibility that as markets inch higher on index levels, there is some sort of rotational profit booking happening. So, it would be better to stay prepared for volatility. Another reason for staying with large caps is that valuations are high in large part of the mid and small caps and they are the ones which might lose more weight if there is any correction due to global reasons.

Pure domestic growth story: 7 stocks from road construction and infrastructure sector with potential upside of up to 37%
Road construction and infrastructure as a sector first came to light close to 25 years back, when then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, kicked off the building of road projects with the aim to join north to south and east to west part of India. After getting off the good started, somewhere in the middle, road construction and infrastructure building got entangled in different issues, Land acquisition to banks issue and many more. Around 10 years back when the current government came to power, the first area of focus was road construction and very soon things began to change. Given the scope of improvement, it is a sector which will grow for the next two decades or even more, the only condition, policy stability. Probably road construction is a sector, where the opposition ruled state and central government has maximum coordination, the reason road infrastructure is one sector which is both economically and politically earning accretive.

Global volatility, domestic solutions: 6 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside potential up to 47%
There are two things which have rattled the global markets. First is the confusion on how to interpret the statement/ data/minutes of the meeting of the US Fed. There is no clarity after the recent inflation number on how things will pan out. Second which has come after some gap is the geopolitical tensions, the development of possible war between Iran and Israel. This means disruption in trade as it is in an area which is logistically important and second, it will have an impact on crude oil prices, which means that inflation in the US may become more sticky. So, this time the probability of geopolitical tensions leading to higher disruption for the global economy and hence for the equity market is high. The next logical question is how to deal with it. The answer lies in history, whether it is geopolitical tension or interest rate cycle getting unexpected disruptions, they keep happening. What one has to focus on is stock selection and owning good business and volatility whether global or domestic is taken care of.
