Comeback Trail: After IT, time for large private banks to make a comeback? 6 top private banks with an upside potential of upto 40%
Today, because one private sector bank and some of the PSU banks are under pressure, the bank nifty is trading in the red. Because the bank in question, Kotak Mahindra bank has come under pressure due to one specific development which tends to be eye-catching, the whole narrative shifts to something which is not related to the core business of banking.

A probability of a tactical investment opportunity building in the private sector banks taking place. Look at the leaders from that space, HDFC bank which has been at the forefront of getting all negative news is pretty much close to its earlier highs.

Midcaps stocks for long term investors: 5 stocks from different sectors with right financial & growth matrix and upside potential of up to 49%
Buying quality stocks should be one of the basic principles while investing in markets. But when one is buying mid-cap stocks this principle becomes even more important for multiple reasons.

Headwinds of high FPI exposure, but good for long term: 6 stocks the financial services sector with an upside potential of up to 25 %
One of the most intriguing aspects of presenting the return performance of stocks, or any asset class for that matter, is how a slight adjustment in the calculation date can dramatically alter the perception, making the glass appear either half full or half empty. This phenomenon is particularly evident in the case of financial service stocks. Recently, these stocks have often been portrayed as underperformers. However, this overlooks the fact that over the long term, they have provided substantial returns and generated significant wealth. The short-term underperformance of these stocks can be attributed to their heavy ownership by Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPI). As FPIs have been net sellers in Indian equities, financial service stocks have faced selling pressure. Nevertheless, the relative decline in stock prices is considerably less severe than in previous instances of similar selling activity. Given the robust fundamentals of these stocks compared to a few years ago, it is prudent to view them from a long-term investment perspective.

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.
