For wealth creation, focus on ‘Irrespective of & Despite Trump’: 7 mid-caps from different sectors with upside potential of up to 42%
Friday evening. We are not using the exact words, but the essence of what President Trump said was: India and Russia have fallen into China’s hands. Saturday evening. A 180-degree turn. I have a great relationship with PM Modi and I am only upset because India is buying too much Russian oil, Trump said. So, if you had bearish thoughts on Friday, Saturday would have seen you thinking bullish. It is Sunday and one does not quite know what to expect today. We are dealing with a president whose statements seem to depend on which side of the bed he got up from. The difference is that this time we have an Indian reaction appreciating the positive statements. So, be hopeful but cautious. In this administration, nothing positive is done till it is done.
Wealth creation is the gap between noise & compounding: 6 mid-caps from different sectors with upside potential of up to 36%
As tariffs and GST rationalisation jostle for the attention of the street, the market is trying to translate every nuance into price. The lesson isn’t that prices are irrational; it’s that prices are immediate while business reality is gradual. In the short run, it is tariffs and other events which will dominate the conversation. In the long run, the only thing that matters is earnings and the trajectory of those earnings. If you can accept that gap between noise and compounding, you can invest calmly even when Trump is saying what he is saying, or if there is any other cyclical issue.
Engineering sector: Short-term headwinds, yes, but long-term story is intact: 5 engineering stocks with upside potential of up to 34%
Here’s a truism: Structural improvements in a sector are far more important for long-term investing than current market sentiment or short-term headwinds even if they are business headwinds. Now, there are several sectors that have seen structural improvements in the last few years, but are now facing short-term headwinds. This is not unusual as that’s how sectoral cycles play out. As investors, it is important to understand the reasons for the current headwinds, keeping in mind that these sectors have changed structurally, and for the good. It is structural changes which lead to sustained changes in the valuation given to a particular sector.

Wealth creation & a new, increased total addressable market: 6 large-caps from different sectors with upside potential of up to 39%
How would you describe a company that has been in existence for 40 years but has done well only in the last 10? Now, when we say “done well”, it is not only in terms of absolute increase in sales, but on operational parameters as well. The reasons could be many: Change in management, change in macro structure of the sector, government policy. The bottom line, however, is that the total addressable market, or market size, for the goods or services of the company has become bigger and management was smart enough to take advantage of that. In the last 10 years, as the whole size and scope of the Indian economy has changed, there are new sectors and industries emerging and that probably it might be worthwhile to get them on a watchlist.
Time for risk-takers to come out of hibernation? 5 mid-cap stocks from different sectors with an upside potential of up to 27%
What the earnings season could not do, the hope of a cut in GST rates has been able to. It has revived hopes of an improvement in the top line in some sectors. There is thus a case to be bullish. But, given the fact that valuations are still not cheap, there is also a case to be selective, both in terms of sectors and stocks within those sectors. Also, some changes taking place on the geopolitical front are likely to give a push to companies that were facing trouble due to conflicts. This has not been generally talked about because these companies operate in niche areas.
In the long term, opportunities & volatility are synonyms: 6 mid-caps from different sectors with upside potential of 10% to 44%
Buy quality stocks, buy fundamentally good stocks. This is something you hear all the time. What is a good quality stock? Quality of stock or quality of business? What do you need to look at? One, of course, the management. Two, the company's track record in sharing profits with minority shareholders. And three: The prospects of the business at a macro level. If a company meets the basic minimum criteria on these three counts, you can ignore the Nifty, Sensex, and Trump – and be bullish on India.
Stock picks of the week: 5 stocks with consistent score improvement and upside potential of up to 25%
As the market moves in range with volatility quotients having a bit of bearish bias, the probability that we are going to stay in stock-specific mode is very high. So, more than anything else, two things become important. One is the earnings companies have delivered in Q1. Two is the outlook that managements give in their conference calls. Now, there is a reason we are saying that the market will stay in stock-specific mode for some more time. Read on to find out. 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.

Headwinds, yes, but long-term story intact. 7 stocks from the engineering sector with upside potential from 21 to 42%
Many sectors have made some sort of a comeback in the last six years. In the last few quarters, some of them have been facing short-term headwinds. This is not unusual. Why? Because that is how sectoral cycles play out. In such a situation, while it is important to understand the reasons for the headwinds, don’t ignore the fact that some of these sectors have changed structurally, and for good. So, as investors, it is probably time to get these stocks on a watchlist. The reason: Structural improvements are far more important in long-term investing than market sentiment and short-term headwinds. Take the case of engineering and capital goods companies. They faced some issues because of a slowdown in government spending in 2024, and may do so for some more time. A window of opportunity?
These mid-cap stocks with ‘Strong Buy’ & ‘Buy’ recos can rally over 25%, according to analysts
We are probably in a phase of confusion in the markets. Why? Because the recent rally has again pushed up valuations. While in some sectors earnings have shown recovery from the cyclical downtrend, in others evidence of improvement is still awaited. Adding to the confusion is the money sitting on the sidelines which does not want to buy at high valuations but, at the same time, might be interested if there is an indication of growth in the quarterly results. So, we are likely to see the market staying in both range-bound and stock-specific mode.
In mid-caps, 'just hold' often creates wealth: 10 mid-cap stocks from different sectors with upside potential up to 44%
Just like there is the FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) in terms of buying, there is also panic selling. And panic selling is the bigger enemy of wealth creation. So, it is better to hold on to some good quality businesses and let the storm pass. So, is there a storm coming? Maybe. And how to decide which is a good quality business? There are both qualitative and quantitative measures which can be used. But more than anything else, what is important is the ability to ignore volatility.
These mid-cap stocks with ‘Strong Buy’ & ‘Buy’ recos can rally over 25%, according to analysts
Are valuations in the mid-cap segment now fairly priced? No. Does it mean you should avoid the segment altogether? The answer is again no. Over the next few quarters, stock price trends and the absolute value of stock prices will be impacted by the fundamentals of the sector as well as valuations. The fundamentals are currently improving for some industries. The first indication came in Q4, and confirmation may come as the Q1 earnings season kicks off. But there are some risks as well. Sectors feeling the impact of the tariff wars might witness a phase of readjustment.
