These large-caps have ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos and an upside potential of more than 27%
At this point of time, both the bulls and bears are pretty much even, though the bias is toward the bulls. The thing that will tilt the balance in favour of the bears is the implementation of the additional 25% tariff on Indian exports to the US on August 27. But we are assuming that better sense will prevail; and, even if they are implemented, we would soon see an India-US trade treaty that would reverse the tariff. If that happens, the bullish sentiment will get a boost and the tilt will first be toward large-cap stocks. Especially where the quality of the balance sheet is strong and there is little need for further debt for the business.

Yes, credit growth is not up to the mark, but that is fine; it will get there sooner than later. And we have our reasons for saying so.
These large-caps have ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos and an upside potential of more than 26%
There’s an old market saying: Even when the bulls are in control, never write off the bears. Similarly, when the bears seem to be taking control, don't write off the bulls. Monday was an example of this. Now, how long will the upmove sustain? Especially as there is no clarity on the India-US trade deal or on the threatened additional tariff. At this point, the bulls and bears are pretty evenly matched. It is also likely that the street will tilt toward the bulls over a period of time (given there are no major negative surprises). If that happens, the tilt will first be toward stocks where the quality of the balance sheet is strong and there is little need for further debt in the business.
