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.

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.
