    These large-caps have ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos and an upside potential of more than 25%

    Here’s an old market saying: Even when the bulls are in control, you can never write off the bears. They will make an appearance at regular intervals, sometimes staying longer than expected. At this point of time, both the bulls and bears are placed pretty much at the same levels, though the bias is toward the bulls. In such a scenario, it is better to focus on one thing: Earnings, and the overall possible growth in a sector. At the end of the day, the stock market is about earnings. And that has a very different trajectory from what the bulls and bears push the market toward at different points of time.

      These large-caps have ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos and an upside potential of more than 25%

      Why talk about a correction when the market is clearly in bullish mode? Because, for one, you should always be ready for a correction; along with volatility, it is a part of the market. Second, it is important to know the reason for any correction in the market. Going forward, corrections are likely to happen more because of profit-booking rather than any structural reason. Now, this is very different from how things were in January and February when high valuations and low growth made it a structural issue. With Q4 earnings being better than expected, at least the concern over growth has been addressed. Valuations though are still not cheap. But if there is growth, valuations can be justified.

      Not a hard and fast rule, but using this ratio increases probability of getting it right: 7 stocks with an upside potential of up to 26%

      How do you value a stock? Which has a high valuation, and which is cheap? It all depends on the ratio you use to ascertain value. Consider this example: Twelve years back, the stock of an MNC FMCG company was quoting at a PE multiple of 44. At that time, the Nifty’s PE was at 25. Since then, the market capitalization of the stock has grown 10 times and its PE ratio today stands at 65. On the other hand, there was a construction company quoting at a PE multiple less than 15 around the same time, but its market capitalization today is half of what it was 12 years ago. See how relying solely on the PE ratio creates hurdles in the way of wealth creation?

      For investors with ability to take logical risk: 6 small-caps from different sectors with upside potential of up to 59%

      After months of correction, the bulls have been back in play over the last one-and-a-half months. As the market breadth has been good as well, we are gradually moving into bullish mode. What could change things is global risk-off trade. If there is a bout of selling which comes because global equity markets get into risk-off mode (as they did in early August 2024) then every bet is off the table: Emerging markets will then certainly witness strong selling. But that is a short-term risk which everyone in the markets faces.

      There are PSU stocks, and there are PSU businesses. Choose the business. 57 PSU stocks, some good, some not so good

      A year back, on the day the results of 2024 general elections were getting declared, PSU stocks as a set suffered a sudden setback. From being much loved in the first six months of 2024, they were suddenly being hit. The reason: The street assumed that, without a clear majority, Modi 3.0 would not be able to take decisions which it was able to in Modi 2.0. But a year down the line, it is no longer about a company being a PSU or not. It is about business. So, sectors where there have been developments are clearly seeing things turn for the better.

      With a long-term perspective: 5 stocks from different sectors which fit the bill on a more important, but less used ratio

      Heard of the PEG ratio? When looking at long-term investments, it is a better ratio to use than the PE ratio. For one, it helps you avoid stocks which might appear cheap but actually are not value buys. Again, in sectors that are cyclical in nature, looking at the PE matrix alone may lead to wrong decisions. In the PEG ratio, one of the variables is growth. But growth itself is a function of many variables and that is the challenge you need to navigate when using PEG. It is also the reason why not many use this ratio frequently. But the effort will pay off in terms of helping you identify the right stocks.
