Stock picks of the week: 5 stocks with consistent score improvement and upside potential of up to 33%
To get clarity on the markets, there are three questions to which you need answers. First: When will the war end? Second: How long will it take to rebuild destroyed infrastructure? Third: How will the post-war geopolitical situation pan out? Now, the answers to all three are up in the air. So, expect a phase of uncertainty. 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.

Manage short-term risk and volatility for long-term opportunity: 7 stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 32%
There will be many ifs and buts – and a high volatility quotient – when a market is in its initial phase of correction, especially a correction caused by a mix of many reasons. We will only know a bottom has been formed much after it has been formed. And anyone who claims they know when and where the bottom will be formed will most likely be proven wrong. So, rather than thinking about where the Nifty or the Sensex will be at the end of this phase of correction, focus on what to look for in the midst of the volatility.
New PMJAY rule bars hundreds of experienced cancer specialists from treating patients under Ayushman Bharat scheme
Around 15 lakh cancer cases are detected in India every year, yet several states are excluding hundreds of experienced, fellowship-trained oncologists from treating Ayushman Bharat PMJAY patients simply because they do not hold NMC-recognised DM, MCh or DrNB degrees. Doctors say the move ignores their decades of expertise and could worsen access to cancer care.
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.

Most difficult: Staying invested in businesses while ignoring noise called Gulf war; 19 stocks from different sectors to ‘hold’
Businesses that create long-term wealth are those where the demand runway is long, the competitive position is strong, and the management is competent. Everything else, tariffs and war included, is noise where the market is concerned. Loud noise, yes. Uncomfortable noise, certainly. But noise nonetheless. And these days, the noise level is not only high, but appears credible. To some extent, that is because of the disruption in the energy supply chains that are critical for India. But it is not the first time such noise has impacted the market – and it will not be the last. It will keep happening. Learn to live with, and manage, it.

5 stocks with consistent score improvement and upside potential of up to 26% in 1 year, according to analysts
Here are three questions. First: When will the war end? Second: How long will it take to rebuild destroyed infrastructure? Third: How will the geopolitical situation pan out after? The answers to all three are up in the air. So, there is really no point in trying to figure out what will happen to the global equity markets. There is, however, one fact to consider: The market is in the habit of sharply pricing in events. And the short covering it witnessed on Thursday was perhaps the first indication of what is in the store. 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
When will the Gulf war end? No one can answer that with any certainty. But whenever it ends, the probability is that volatility will continue for a while in most emerging markets, including India. We might, in fact, see the Indian market underperforming other markets. 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.

These large-caps have ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos and an upside potential of more than 25%
The probability is high that the earnings of a large majority of sectors will suffer because of the Gulf war. For instance, sectors where natural gas is a key input were taking a hit in the very first days of the war itself. So, their Q4 numbers will be hit. As the war continues, there are clear indications that gas supplies will remain disrupted for some time to come. For many companies, it could mean trouble even for their Q1 numbers. In fact, sectors like QSR and tourism-related entities may also now come under pressure.

Market strategy in times of war – and post-war. 11 large-cap stocks from two sectors which fit the bill for both times
Things are escalating. Despite US President Trump’s initial promise of a short and sharp war, the conflict is widening – and shows no sign of ending anytime soon. The Iranian chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz and the resultant surge in oil prices has sent markets into a tizzy globally. Sitting out the crisis is a good option, of course. But if someone put a gun to your head and forced you to invest money – what should you look at? A sector where there is demand and an element of annuity income; one that is not impacted by high crude oil prices.

Possibility and probability favour them in war and peace: 10 large-cap stocks from 2 sectors with upside potential of up to 28%
Probability theory is important in the stock market. Reason: Stock prices are a function of many factors and the underlying operating matrices of those factors themselves keep changing. Currently, the Gulf war is the biggest factor impacting global markets. Some sectors will be hit more as they are linked to oil and the Gulf region. But there are others that will see little impact on their operations or supply chains. Now, when tensions spike and the Nifty trades with big cuts, panic is natural. But history tells us that the worst time to make portfolio decisions is when fear is at its peak. A better approach is to be surgical: Identify sectors where demand is structurally immune to conflict cycles, and where long-term capital continues to flow regardless of headlines.

Stocks in times of war and peace: Be selective and look for critical points? 5 healthcare stocks with upside potential of up to 14%

One, the financial services sector, which, among others, saw a Japanese major buying a stake in a south-based financier and a troubled bank getting a big dose of capital from the Middle East. Two, the healthcare sector. It’s been attracting a different kind of money, both in terms of time frame and expectation of returns.

US-Israel-Iran war: 11 stocks that may face strong headwinds; and 11 that could see fresh tailwinds emerge
Trouble in the Middle East was expected as the US had been building up its presence in the Gulf. But the fact that it came unannounced on a weekend could cause a sharp reaction when the market opens on Monday. Yes, there will be some sectors where businesses will be hit. But for others the hit will be due to market sentiment more than anything else. Also, one must differentiate between the first-level impact on the business and the second level of impact. Investors who understand the transmission mechanisms, distinguish between temporary panic and structural damage, and act with discipline rather than emotion stand to benefit.
