Getting ready to end the 3-year exile: 5 stocks from diagnostics sector with upside potential of up to 53%
There are some businesses, where only a black swan event leads to sharp growth in profit. Otherwise the underlying nature is such that they don't have any sudden spike in their profits. But there is constant growth. The constant growth could be because of many reasons. It may be because of the fact that penetration of that good or service is very low and over a period of time as it improves, both top and bottom line keep moving upward. It could be because of the movement of business from the unorganized sector to the organized sector. Or due the fact that the “need” of that good or service is such that spending on it cannot be postponed. In the case of diagnostic business, it is all the three, or rather four. The fact is that in 2020, a black swan took place which led to the sudden spike in FY 2021 numbers, but then back to normal growth curve. Now for three years, there has been a painful process of partial normalization of valuation and end of price wars. Has the time come for extreme long term investors to bring them back on watchlist ?

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.

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.
