Few day’s back there was an issue with the telecom provider and the services stopped for some time. Now which would be the companies which got impacted the most, the telecom service provider, the answer is no. As a customer one would not get any reduction in the monthly billing because services were down for some time. The companies which may have got impacted would be a platform company on which one orders food, such as a swiggy or zomato. The reason, in the peak time of demand, a customer is not able to order food online due to internet service being down, that demand will not come back when the internet is back. But the other platform company which sells insurance was also not impacted. The reason is, if one was planning to buy an insurance policy and there is no internet, the demand will get postponed not get extinguished. The digital ecosystem is making things simple but it is yet complicated when it comes to investing.

These largecaps have ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos and upside potential of over 20%
Just because the Nifty has been trading in a volatile mood for the last few trading sessions, the word correction might be heard on the street. The fact is that if one looks at the internal of the markets, there has been an ongoing correction which is taking place which has been largely guided by the numbers which companies have delivered for Q4. Also there is a kind of sectoral correction taking place. The good part is that such kind of sectoral corrections are indicative of underlying bullishness and these corrections are part of any bull run. The only thing any investor needs to make sure is that in any corrective phase, bias when making fresh investment should be toward large cap stocks as there is a possibility that they would see less damage in corrections which are stronger in nature due to global or macro developments.

The screener applies different algorithms for all BSE and NSE stocks.
