Time to adopt a tactical perspective? 6 metal stocks, 4 with an upside potential of up to 14%
In metal stocks, ‘buy, forget, and return after five years’ is not the best strategy to adopt. The sector is cyclical, global, China- and tariff-sensitive, and dependent on where prices are in the cycle. But that is also why these stocks can deliver sharp returns when the cycle turns even slightly. The current set-up is not clean. China is still weak in property, global prices are influenced by tariff and supply concerns, even as domestic metal companies are financially stronger than they were in the previous cycle. That makes metals a tactical opportunity; but only for investors willing to regularly review their positions.
Celebrities are buying land in temple cities; but should you follow suit and buy property?
Celebrities are investing in temple cities like Ayodhya, drawn by cultural significance and potential for long-term asset growth.

We are in a phase in the US-Israel-Iran war where statements are made, then retracted. And, in a matter of just 48 hours, they are made all over again. Such back and forth will likely only continue in the near future. The worry is that this conflict in the Gulf will not be resolved soon and, much like the Russia-Ukraine war, will just continue without a clear outcome for either side.
These large- and mid-cap stocks can give more than 25% return in 1 year, according to analysts
There are market phases when one risk dominates. Then there are phases like this, when risks arrive from every direction and refuse to stand in a queue. The AI trade, which was treated as the one story strong enough to carry global equities, has started to wobble. US macro numbers are no longer giving the comfort investors wanted. Valuations, especially in the most loved parts of the market, are still not cheap. And now, over and above all this, comes the fresh geopolitical risk around Iran. Bad news, it seems, rarely arrives alone. It comes as a mob.

Warren Buffett on stock market: Fools give you reasons, wise men never try
Warren Buffett gave himself a D in capital allocation – his worst grade ever. But the confession came along with a warning that would prove prophetic within months: The market's wild optimism, he said, would end badly. And it did, in the shape of the dot-com crash. "Fools give you reasons," he famously wrote. "Wise men never try."

Tourism and hotel sector stocks: Time for a correction in business? Are analysts getting it wrong? 15 stocks from the ecosystem
The Indian hotel and tourism ecosystem has benefitted from the post-Covid travel urge. Occupancies were high, room rates firm, supply is, in fact, still tight. But the bull case rested on an assumption: That households and companies would keep spending freely on travel, conferences, weddings, offsites, and premium stays. In hospitality, demand does not disappear first. The ability to pay does. Will higher inflation and trouble in the Gulf region change this equation? Check out Stock Reports Plus, powered by Refinitiv, for price targets of over 4,000 listed stocks, along with detailed company analysis focusing on five key components – earnings, fundamentals, relative valuation, risk, and price momentum – to generate standardised scores.

5 mid-cap stocks from different sectors with an upside potential of 13 to 24% in one year, according to analysts
When mid-caps were rising, every concern on valuation was treated as unnecessary caution. Investors who advised patience were told they were missing the action. Now that the same mid-caps are falling, everything about them is seen as bad. Go back in history and you will realise that these are cycles that repeat every few years. The only difference: Every time, it is a new set of investors who learn their lesson. This time, it is the turn of those who entered the market post-Covid to realise that there is something called a bear market. And that it can be really painful.
Gas at $4: Americans cut back on discretionary spends as fuel bills mount
Americans are adjusting their spending as fuel prices climb. Shoppers are altering routines, visiting discount stores for gas, and cutting back on non-essential purchases like clothing and furniture. While some retailers see resilience, lower-income customers are noticeably reducing spending. Economists anticipate further retrenchment as tax refunds diminish and the cumulative impact of higher prices is felt across budgets.

The latest escalation in the US-Iran war means that crude oil price is back as a risk for India. Although we are in a market already struggling with weak sentiment, mid-cap underperformance, monsoon uncertainty, and likely earnings pressure, this is not a time for panic. It is, instead, a time to accept that your patience may be tested further.
Textile sector: Time for a relook as tariff tantrum may soon be history? 5 textile stocks with upside potential of up to 27%
The Indian textile and apparel sector has had a stressful year. The US tariffs disrupted orders to the sector’s largest market, squeezed margins, and caused customers to delay sourcing decisions. So, indications that an India-US trade deal is soon likely is a major positive for businesses in the textiles space. But whether the sector’s stocks are attractive depends on which part of the textile value chain you are buying.

Volatility as opportunity, depends on framework of mind: 5 mid-caps from different sectors with upside potential of up to 31%
The Indian stock market is no longer correcting only because of sentiment. It is now adjusting to the possibility of weaker numbers in the next few quarters. So, portfolio values may decline further. But for long-term investors, the question is not whether prices can fall in the short term. Yes, they can. The question is: Can this decline be used to buy better businesses at saner valuations?
These large-caps have ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos and an upside potential of up to 26%
Another down day, and another week where the market started with a cut. There is, at this juncture, no point in guessing what will happen to the Nifty and Sensex. That depends on many things which have nothing to do with fundamentals – and also have something to do with fundamentals. Yes, we are saying both, for a simple reason: In the last few days, there have been events that will have some impact on the fundamentals and operating matrices of several sectors.
20 months of bearish markets: One additional letter that tells you which 'cheap' stocks are actually cheap
Most investors live by one ratio. That ratio that tells them all they want to know – or should one say all they want to hear? They open a screen, sort by it, and start picking from the bottom. It is the habit of a lifetime, and it is wrong more often than they realise. But add a single letter to the ratio and it changes which stocks look cheap, which look expensive, and which look like a trap. In a market that has gone nowhere for 20 months, getting that distinction right has rarely mattered more.
Listed real estate developers move beyond home cities to tap growth
Major real estate firms are shifting focus from their home cities. Companies like Godrej Properties and Prestige are expanding into other metros. This strategy aims to capture demand across multiple high-growth areas. It also reduces dependence on single-city market cycles. This multi-city expansion is a key growth driver for listed developers.
The City of Gold starts coming back to life after its darkest hour
Dubai's economic landscape is tested after regional conflict. Aviation, hotels, and real estate see impacts. Luxury retail also faces pressure.

Has a peace deal been agreed on by the US and Iran? Will the fragile ceasefire hold? No one can answer these questions with any certainty. But whenever the war ends, the probability is that volatility will continue for a while in most emerging markets, including India. The reason we are saying this is because some sectors were facing headwinds even before the war began. And for others, things are not going to be easy.

If the US-Iran ceasefire holds, the markets may see some recovery. The movement of crude oil prices and its impact on the markets supports this thesis. In such a scenario, the probability that mid-caps might make a comeback attempt is high. It is, however, unlikely to be an across-the-board rally. It will, instead, be a sector-specific rally. And it will come with many ifs and buts. So, do shed fear, but not caution.

Time to take measured and logical risks? 5 small-caps from different sectors with upside potential of up to 26%
Given the fluctuating situation in the Gulf region because of the US-Iran conflict, there is no guarantee that the market will not fall further. If the selling continues, it surely will. However, even if the selling stops, it does not mean that a bull party will restart immediately. It will take its own sweet time.
For both the compulsive trader and careful investor: 25 stocks to watch if risk appetite returns; some with upside potential, some not
If the price of crude oil softens, Indian equities may again see a risk-on phase. Tariff concerns are no longer the central issue; the larger market trigger is oil, because crude influences inflation, currency, margins, fiscal comfort, and foreign investor appetite. In such a market, one-time favourites often return to the screen. But not every familiar name deserves fresh capital. These 25 stocks should be on the watchlists of both traders and investors. Some have upside potential, some do not. But all need to be judged through liquidity, institutional interest, sector triggers, and price confirmation.
Stock picks of the week: 5 stocks with consistent score improvement and upside potential of up to 33%, according to analysts
This is easy to say, but difficult to actually implement: As an investor, make a distinction between the day-to-day movement of indices and your decision to own a business for the long term. This distinction is the key to creating wealth in the market. But it is tough to do at a time when all the stocks that used to be in the green are now in the red. 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.
Forget fake invoices. The real risk is the assumptions made in the balance sheet to hide losses
Most accounting risks make noise. The biggest one on the Indian balance sheet doesn't. It hides inside growth assumptions, discount rates, and the way one asset is grouped with another, invisible to anyone reading only the headline numbers. The auditor sees it first and writes about it in the footnotes most investors skip. This story is a reader's guide to those footnotes: How the manipulation is done, what to look for, and exactly where to look.

For the next few weeks, what needs to be watched is market breadth. And also look at which sectors are leading the rally. Why? Because, at this point of time, there are sectors and stocks which may see a recovery just because they are witnessing a short-covering bounce. And one needs to differentiate between short covering rallies and uptrends happening for fundamental reasons.

Given the latest news flow from the Gulf region, the probability is high that we might once again see the bulls attempting a comeback. As uncertainty caused by the US-Iran war continues, just remember one thing: Keep your eye on the Q4 earnings numbers that are pouring in. Finally, that is what matters to the street.
Time to take the first step to become a contrarian? 4 mid-cap stocks from different sectors with upside potential up to 21%
As the risk created by the US-Iran war keeps crude oil prices elevated, the list of stocks where investors can deploy fresh money with comfort has become shorter. Higher oil is a tax on India’s macro-economy, corporate margins, and market sentiment. But that is only one side of the story. The correction of the last one-and-a-half years has brought some high-quality businesses back from expensive territory into a more reasonable valuation zone. But they are still not necessarily cheap.
