    Simple moat is good enough reason : 5 large cap stocks from different sector with right ratio matrix and upside potential of upto 38%

    There are many textbook definitions of the word “ moat”. But what it means in simple terms is that there has to be something in a business and the management which makes it different from others and also helps it grow faster and more importantly on a sustained basis. It is not a very complicated thing, just a look at some basic numbers, a look at what the company management had said 5 years ago, whether it has been achieved or not. For example, in sectors where the debt is normally high because of the nature of business, a company which has been able to grow while keeping debt at a lower level is positive and is surely a moat, while if one goes by strict textbook definition of moat it might not fit it.

    While it might not have been making it headline, the pharmaceutical sector or commonly called as pharma has come through a tough period due to US FDA and other factors.

Also there is a process of re-rating which is quietly going on in the sector. It was large players which got the attention of tend to gain first and then it is smaller and mid sized.

    Some cooling off may be around the corner, so is the opportunity: 6 auto stocks with an upside potential of up to 28%

    When a sector or an industry does well, stock prices also do well. But then a stage comes where while the Industry continues to do well the rate at which the stocks are rising slows. Essentially meaning that stock prices have built in a large amount of good news and they would wait for the next trigger. While there is no doubt and should not be any doubt that auto stock has done well in the last three years as the industry has been doing well. But the reaction of the street to some reports about M&M might be cutting the prices of one SUV model is probably indicating more than just meets the eye. So, should one take some money off the table or should one be slightly cautious when it comes to putting in fresh money? Is this cool down an opportunity for a long term investor ? Probably yes.

      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.

      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.

      First to indicate good or bad about economy, as it stays strong, ignore noises about politics: 6 auto stocks with upside potential of upto 34 %

      Unlike the US and some other western countries, where there is a separate transportation index which also has an element of logistic companies in it and is watched very closely, in India we don't have a very popular transportation index. The reason why transportation index numbers are extremely important is because there is enough historical evidence to show that auto industry numbers lead indicators of what is happening in the economy. That is why if one looks at the history of the stock market, the rallies which are led by the transportation and auto sector are more durable rallies. Especially the ones which are led by large commercial vehicles. Demand for large commercial vehicles would only increase when there is higher economic growth as more goods get moved from one place to another when the economy is doing well. At this point and in near term there will be noises about political instability, but better ignore it.

      Political noise is temporary in the end it's about GDP growth; 6 logistics companies with upside potential of up to 39%

      It will take some more time for the street to get out of the political noise and analysis and stocks may witness some more correction. But these are all short term issues, in the end markets are keen about two things, overall economic growth and earnings of the company. In the recent political noise what has been probably getting missed is the fact that GDP numbers were better than expected. It is very likely that we are going to see continued growth in the GDP numbers, yes, there would be voices which would say that focus consumption would increase and all other things, but in the end the biggest beneficiary of the continued higher growth is the logistics sector. The reason is simple, if the economy is doing well, more goods will be produced and they will have to be transported and that is why in large developed economies, logistic companies form part of a very important transportation index. Also another big factor, these companies have gone through a restructuring and have come out after facing many challenges.

The scale of the sector allows for distribution outreach with local government support, easing the financial burden on states.
