These large- and mid-cap stocks can give more than 25% return in 1 year, according to analysts
Over the next few days, as an investor you need to make a clear distinction on one front: Buying happening in a sector at a lower level, and short covering. Why? Because short covering-led upmoves don't sustain. Also remember: Whether an upmove in the broader market will sustain or not also depends on how the Q4 earnings season pans out. As of now, no major trouble spots have emerged.
Investing in ability and quality of balance sheet? 5 large-cap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 29%
Predicting the movement of the Nifty and Sensex is a fool’s task. Thursday’s trading on the market only underlines this truism. And it is in times of uncertainty that we tend to gravitate towards large-cap stocks because, over the long term, they do create wealth. But there is one more, equally compelling, reason why they should be preferred to mid- and small-cap stocks, especially in a phase where there is a time-wise correction – the kind where markets do not fall sharply but simply refuse to move higher for extended periods.

For investors with ability to think beyond FY27: 5 mid-cap stocks from different sectors with an upside potential up to 33%
The US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a claim by President Trump that negotiations are not dead in the water, and some tough talk from Iran. Together they ensured that confusion reigned over the fate of the Gulf war, with each cue impacting markets and crude oil prices in different ways. So, uncertainty is still the dominant theme for global markets. But then stock prices have also corrected, so the current situation presents opportunities as well.
These large-caps have ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos and an upside potential of up to 25%
It is tough to think positively about the markets when all the news is about blockades, wars, and everything that can disturb the global economy. But remember this: Whatever its intensity or length, there is enough historical evidence to show that markets have a greater probability of trading at a higher level a few months after a war. And no war in the Gulf has dragged on. So, all one needs is patience – and the ability to think beyond the war.

Stock picks of the week: 6 stocks with consistent score improvement and upside potential of up to 29%
Usually, official talks are mere formalities – meetings to ink things that have already been agreed upon. The one scheduled between the US and Iran is different for two reasons. One, it is about war. And two, one of the parties involved is US President Trump. So, one does not quite know what to expect. As far as markets are concerned, however, there are some things that are clearly visible. Our selected stocks for today depict a strong upward trajectory in their overall average score which is based on five key pillars: Earnings, fundamentals, relative valuation, risk, and price momentum. This implies that there has been a significant improvement in their market outlook in the given time frame.

These large- and mid-cap stocks can give more than 25% return in 1 year, according to analysts
Over the next few trading sessions, the direction of indices like the Nifty and Sensex will be determined by news on ceasefire violations and the US-Iran talks. But what will finally decide the market’s trend will be earnings – and the biggest factor impacting earnings is the price of crude oil. So, if there is a flash about a ceasefire violation, but crude oil prices don’t react adversely, then maybe one should wait it out.
European alcoholic drinks companies seek India tariff relief as shortages of cans, bottles loom

Why stock markets fell today? Sensex plunges 931, Nifty below 23,900. 6 factors behind the drop
Indian stock markets reversed a five-day winning streak, with Sensex and Nifty50 falling significantly on Thursday.

Time to be contrarian, but with one condition: 5 mid-cap stocks from different sectors with an upside potential up to 32%
Here’s what the street will see in the next couple of days: Discussions on whether the market has bottomed; or if an escalation in the war will lead to further decline. The yardstick used will be the Nifty and Sensex. But ask yourself a simple question: How does the level of these indices matter to a firm with a 25-year track record of producing farm equipment (and a monopoly in certain products)? Or to a pharma company that has just received US FDA approval for a new plant, and will soon start exporting to the US, pumping up earnings? So, with the headlines about the Nifty and Sensex and President Trump’s latest threat, time to think beyond what the world is focusing on.

These large-caps have ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos and an upside potential of up to 25%
The official kickoff of the Q4 earnings season happens when a large IT company announces its results, although the quarter’s business updates have already started to roll in. Now, remember this: The Gulf war has affected every business in every country in the world, but the Q4 results will not entirely reflect its impact, as it escalated only in March. It is the Q1 FY27 results that will fully account for the spiked oil prices, the currency fluctuations, and, of course, the disruption in global supply chains. But, as they say, there is never a perfect time to invest; investing is a journey that one has to manage.
Stock picks of the week: 5 stocks with consistent score improvement and upside potential of up to 29%
The market is again abuzz with the possibility of peace in the Gulf. This has, however, happened in the past. There is, thus, no point in guessing what will happen if Iran ignores the latest deadline set by US President Trump. So, let the storm pass; till then, focus on the long term, and on sectors where companies are able to deliver numbers. Our selected stocks for today depict a strong upward trajectory in their overall average score which is based on five key pillars: Earnings, fundamentals, relative valuation, risk, and price momentum. This implies that there has been a significant improvement in their market outlook in the given time frame.
