EQUITY DERIVATIVES CONTRACTS
These large-caps have ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos and an upside potential of more than 25%
Are you looking at the Nifty to figure out whether to be bullish or bearish? If yes, cast your eye back to the day last year when the big correction started. Did all stocks start falling only after September 26, 2024, the day the indices peaked? No. Several stocks across segments began declining much before that day. The lesson: Focus on companies where the broader picture of growth is intact. And let the Nifty do what it is doing. Focus on the management, a key driver of earnings. Also, because GST rationalisation will likely impact earnings in a positive way, it is probably a good time to keep scepticism aside, but with conditions.

These large- and mid-cap stocks can give more than 24% return in 1 year, according to analysts
As some sectors and industries start to feel the impact of the increased tariffs, the chances are that, in the near term, all the street narrative will centre on this. But make a distinction between reality and narrative. We are not saying that there will be no impact. But the fact is that some amount of exaggeration is to be expected as an industry seeks favours from the government and hopes to extract some relief. So, remain balanced when consuming information. Just to put this in perspective: Does it make sense to sell HDFC Bank because of the tariff? Certainly not. So think rationally before taking any decision.

These 8 banking stocks can give more than 30% returns in 1 year, according to analysts
On Tuesday, it was the banking sector which led the decline in the market. The overall decline was largely due to the street finally waking up to the fact that the additional 25% US tariff hike was inevitable. So, does it mean banking is the sector which is going to be hit the most? The answer is no. Financial services is probably one sector which will have the least direct impact of the US tariffs on its business. But when it comes to stocks, there is a relationship between what is happening and what might happen.

These 8 banking stocks can give more than 26% returns in 1 year, according to analysts
Banking is a rare sector in which there is a probability of finding stocks with positive one-year returns. Yes, in the last one year, banking sector stocks (barring small finance banks) have been silent outperformers. As far as the street is concerned, they have been able to manage attacks by bears pretty well. On the real business side, they clearly have been able to control their non-performing assets, or NPAs. 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.
