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. At this point of time, when valuations are high and small corrections can lead to strong negative reactions in stock prices. So, while capital gains is the objective, never lose the perspective of protecting capital from sudden shocks. Now how does one do it? Look at the underlying business which is best understood by going through its annual report and look at a certain basic ratio in order to figure out how much return that underlying business can generate in best and worst case.

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.

Need to have one, strong brand or big market size: 4 midcap stocks with right levels of RoE and upside potential of up to 21%
In all market conditions investing in mid-cap stocks is always a challenge for any investor. This challenge gets much bigger when the valuations are extremely high but at the same time the market is in a strong bullish trend. A choice has to be made between taking risk or losing the opportunity of making returns in a short period of time. In such times, it would be better that investors should be cautious in selecting the stocks, better to go with buying in smaller quantities and keep some cash allocated for the stocks, but only to be used on the day when there is absolutely chaos on the street. Why this strategy is likely to work, because it will take care of volatility which is bound to happen when valuations are not on the side of bulls.

This ratio helps in avoiding mirage of value in bullish time: 5 stocks from different sectors for long-term investors
Given the high probability that bulls will be soon seen all over the street. It would be better to just be a bit more cautious while taking incremental exposure. One thing which investors need to take into consideration is that there is a big difference in what is value and what looks cheap due to one financial ratio, more often than not, relying on PE may lead to wrong investment decisions. When looking for long term investment, it is better to use PEG ratio, though finding the right ratio is itself a challenge. PEG ratio is much better compared to the commonly used P/E ratio. It helps in avoiding stocks which might appear cheap but actually are not value buys. Also in sectors which are cyclical in nature, looking at the price earning matrix may lead to wrong decisions.
Smallcaps: Narrative might go against them, but if chosen with right filters, don't bother, 5 stocks from different sectors with long term perspective
When investing in stock markets, it’s crucial to make the distinction between high-quality and poor-quality businesses across the small, mid, and large-cap spectrums, as well as the difference between the intrinsic value of a stock and the overall value of the company. Certain niche small businesses may still generate significant returns over time if they are held long enough. On the other hand, if one's approach to small-cap investments is merely based on the absolute value of a stock with hopes of a tenfold increase, then it's a misconception. Stock market investing, whether in small, mid, or large caps, should not be driven by unrealistic expectations; otherwise, it leads to nothing but undue stress, rather than substantial returns.

Short-term volatility? Yes, but operating landscape might be changing: 5 metal stocks with upside potential of up to 20%
After the IT sector companies, metal is another sector where the fortunes of Indian companies are more tied to what is happening globally rather than what is happening in India. The reason, global metal prices are decided by two things, first is the state of the Chinese economy and second is how the US dollar behaves in the global markets. On the first, there are initial indications that after close to more than two years, things are turning better. The most reliable indication came last month with better than expected GDP numbers. On the second front, there is still lots of uncertainty thanks to flip-flops by the US Fed on interest rate cuts. Now if one looks at the metal stocks, they have sort of out performed volatile Indian markets. But given the fact that these days, too much money flows into stocks where there is even a slight bit of positive development, the possibility that these stocks may turn volatile if there was more pressure on the broader market. However, when the tide turns, because the operating matrix of the companies would be better if the China recovery continues, there is a high probability of them turning into relative outperformers.
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.

Don't see any central banks in Asia cutting rates until the Fed does: Mark Matthews
In fact, Bank Indonesia just raised their interest rates yesterday. So, the sticky inflation in the US will push back rate cuts globally, I think, into the latter part of this year.
