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.

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.

Own midcaps? Do a check & balance exercise to avoid decision of haste: 7 midcaps from different sectors with an upside potential of upto 49%
Every now and then the market goes through phases, where it prefers a certain set of stocks, not based on sector but based on the overall market cap. So, sometimes it is large caps, at other mid-caps. Now this partially happens, due to the flows which are coming to markets. For example, if more flows are coming to mid-cap or multicap schemes there is bound to be out performance in the mid-cap space. Now what it does is that it tends to create a sudden surge in mid-cap. Similarly when there is an outflow like the kind of one which we saw in March this year, midcap stocks tend to decline sharply. Essentially, it is the flows which impact the broader matrix of how midcaps behave. So there are phases not owning a midcap stocks appeared to sin and then there phase, where owning them appears to be sin. But if one focuses on the underlying business and some critical parameters, there is a possibility of getting rid of these phases of anxiety which keep coming to the street and create long term wealth.

At a time when the market is digesting an election result which it did not expect. Questions are bound to come to about what should be done with mid-cap stocks. Is there a possibility that we might see more corrections ? The answer is yes.

Infrastructure stocks: With more clarity a stronger round of re-rating in Modi 3.0? 7 infra stock with upside potential of up to 33%
Couple of months back PM Modi had mentioned his priorities of Modi 3.0. The first word which was used was infrastructure and then subsequently others. There should not be any surprise given the fact that even in the last ten years, infrastructure has been a priority. What has changed is that in the first five years, it was the clean up of the books and debt which was taking place. In the next five it was both, lowering debt, higher order book and now with books much better placed, much less litigation, now when the order book gets bigger as the focus on infrastructure continues the increase is likely to be more visible in margins and that increases the probability of even a strong and sustained rating. We take a look at infrastructure makers, which is very different from infrastructure owners. Though in some cases, these companies also have some projects where they have stakes.

Will finally all the hard work yield results in Modi 3.0? 7 fertilizer stocks with 4 having ‘buy’ reco and upside upside potential of up to 22%
Few months back when it was announced that the fertilizer subsidy bill was seen as lower than expected, the street reacted negatively. The assumption is that if the fertilizer subsidy is going to come down then it is bad for the sector. Now there is another way to look at it, a government which has been ensuring that agriculture gets the right amount of attention and doing the various policy pushes, then why is the overall projected subsidy bill down? Probably, it may be because the government is expecting that policy actions which it has taken over the years will yield results and some of the other non-financial efforts which it will take in the sector will help reduce the bill without having an adverse effect on any stakeholders. Now unlike other sectors like railways where putting more money or making few policy changes has helped the sector, fertilizer is a more complex sector and is bound to take more time for getting the house in order. But then who says that transition for good is painless.

From being a blue chip and part of indices going through a corporate insolvency resolution process under IBC. There are some industries which at one point of time were considered to be safe haven.

In the fight between bulls and bears, these set of companies always win: 4 stocks with upside potential of up to 21%
Recently the finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman spoke about the risk of unchecked explosion of future and option trading. Before that, there was a SEBI study, which mentioned that 90 % of the individuals who trade in future and options ( F&O) end up losing money; only 10% are able to make profit. But there is another side to the story. First is that trade volumes in this segment are only going to rise. Second, what is the common between both the losers and winners? They both brokerage to their stock broker and also pay transaction fees to the stock exchange. So, who is the constant and permanent winner? The stock exchange and the stock broker. Yes, policy makers will bring in more checks, but the hard fact is that those checks will only be partially effective for a short period of time as the turnover in the F&O will continue to rise for the foreseeable future. One can control anything, but not the hope and greed on the street.
