    Infosys, Tech Mahindra among 6 IT stocks that could surprise positively in Q1 results: JM Financial

    Stating that Tech Mahindra remains a ‘buy' on turnaround hopes while KPIT Technologies and Tata Technologies are structural bets on auto ER&D theme, domestic brokerage firm JM Financial believes that Q1 results for the IT sector could positively surprise the street.

    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.

    Tailwinds are winning, beneficiaries of strong OEM & replacement demand from auto sector: 5 tyre stocks with upside potential of up to 38%

    It is a well known fact that if demand is growing at a fast pace, higher input cost can be easily passed on to the consumer. That is probably what the tyre industry is going through currently. Recently there was an increase in natural rubber prices and fears were expressed that margins might come under pressure. But two things happened just recently, the natural rubber prices corrected and the whole of the tyre stocks witnessed a sharp rally. While the risk of headwind in terms of higher input cost stays, will the OEM and replacement demand act as tailwinds and continue to power the stocks.

    Extent and frequency of tariff revisions crucial for financial health of telcos

    Following the increase in tariffs, the stock of Reliance Industries rose by 2.3% on Friday to close at Rs 3,131.9. On the other hand, stocks of Bharti Airtel and VIL were under pressure, falling by 1.8% to Rs 1,445.4 and by 3.4% to Rs 17.9 in that order amid profit booking after a recent surge in their prices.

    Being bullish & being cautious are not antonyms: 4 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 41%

    There are a number of times when one hears on the street, that indices and stocks have gone so high, how much higher it can go, so forget it. Essentially the underlying feeling is that just because the nifty and sensex has moved up now it will not move so let's not invest. That is probably the worst mistake one makes because at every level, this narrative comes. When nifty was 20,000 this argument could have been made, now at 24,000 also this argument can be made and when nifty is much higher, the same argument will be made. One needs to look at the broader picture, there is no reason why one should not be bullish about India, but that does mean one should not be cautious in terms of selecting the stocks. so , continue to be bullish, also be cautious and invest in a manner that short term profit booking moves don't make you anxious.

    Consolidation push to continue as key raw material gets scarce: 11 small cap cement stocks which fit the bill and may see some action

    In less than a month, two cement majors clearly showed their intent. The intent is to grow through an inorganic route. One by complete acquisition, the other by taking a large stake in the company. Another common thing, both of them are focussed on the southern part of India, where the cement companies have a history of being under pressure. So why are they looking toward southern India? The answer lies in something else. It is one of the key raw materials that have become scarce and that is what is leading to a situation where big players clearly know that if they have to grow their capacities they have to pick on companies which have access to that critical raw material. This aggressive consolidation is likely to continue and it is the smaller players which are likely to be targeted.
