Getting ready for another round of re-rating ? 6 defence stocks with “buy” recos with upside potential of up to 34%
As other sectors dominated by PSU companies come into limelight, defence stocks which ignited the re-rating of PSU stocks have moved into consolidation mode for some time. The question is whether the business is in consolidation mode or not, the answer is tilting toward no. It appears the underlying developments in the sector continue to be going at the same pace or rather even more. Allowing 100 % FDI in space related industries, is probably an indication that focus on defence and related sectors continues. As things are shaping up, it appears the exports would also become a focus area.
Will the wave of restructuring help? 7 MNC pharma stocks with upside potential of up to 14%
In the last three years, Novartis is the third MNC pharma company which has announced sale of a part of its business in India. Some of these restructuring are being done as part of the global readjustment being made at the parent companies level. The bigger question is whether after this restructuring will the MNC pharma stocks, which have been underperforming for quite some time, be able to make a comeback on the street or not. This answer to this question would depend on multiple factors. Right from the use of the sale proceeds to whether post restructuring focus would be on a 100 percent subsidiary or not. In both positive and negative cases, these stocks probably should be on watchlist as news flow around them increases in coming quarters. We take a look at 7 MNC pharma companies.

A secret alien message: A powerful radio signal from the edge of the universe has stunned astronomers
Astronomers have detected the most distant fast radio burst (FRB) ever recorded, an 8-billion-year-old pulse that has been traveling for more than half the lifetime of the universe. FRBs are intense, brief flashes of radiation that are invisible to the naked eye but can be detected by radio telescopes. They provide a new tool for studying the "cosmic web" of matter between galaxies.
Astronomers unlock the secrets of 8 billion year old radio bursts
Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery after detecting a fast radio burst (FRB) that occurred 8 billion years ago. This particular FRB, known as FRB 20220610A, released an amount of energy equivalent to the sun's emissions over three decades in less than a millisecond. The FRB was detected using the ASKAP array of radio telescopes in Australia and its source was found to be an older galaxy that is further away than any other known FRB source.
