There is, of course, nothing wrong in being bullish, but keep your expectations in check and be nimble-footed at this point of time. 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 28 % return in 1 year, according to analysts
The way the market reacted to the GST rate rationalisation clearly shows that “sell-on-news mode” is still active. Now there are two reasons why the market has been in this particular mode. First: Some risks are still on the table (the India-US tariff tiff). The reason why we consider this a risk is that the 50% tariff cannot continue for long. Either it has to be settled, or it will escalate, with more goods being impacted, or even higher tariffs. History suggests that usually such wars don't start easily. But once they do, ego is the biggest hurdle to a solution. So, unless this is resolved by year-end, it will become an even bigger issue. The second reason: Valuations. However, GST brings some hope. We may see better top and bottom lines in some segments.

Cyclically negative, structurally positive: Will cement be a surprise winner? 9 cement stocks with an upside potential of up to 27%
In some sectors, it is better to own a basket of shares rather than have exposure to a single stock. Reason: When a sector goes through a phase of restructuring and consolidation, the chances are high that a set of winners will emerge. But it is tough to figure out which the winners will be. So, buy a basket. Also, unlike in the past when buying a basket of stocks was a cumbersome process, today it is just a click away. Now, why cement? Because it might be a surprise winner. What makes that sector a surprise winner? When fundamentals are changing, but scepticism levels are still high. Cement is a sector which has probably seen the maximum mergers and acquisition in the last three years and that suggests there has been a change in the operating matrix.
