Engineering & capital goods: Headwinds for some, but long-term story intact for all; 5 stocks with upside potential of up to 57%
In a volatile market you could end up confusing the movement of the Nifty and Sensex for sectoral headwinds and make wrong decisions. To put this in perspective: In the past few months, capital goods and engineering stocks have been under pressure. Reason: Overall capital expenditure by the government was down, and private sector capex had not picked up as expected. It had nothing to do with the drop in the indices. Now, look at the broader picture. Many engineering companies have changed structurally. Some have moved into providing services and goods to the clean energy ecosystems. And a few have been able to enter the export markets. So, time to have them on your watchlist?

These mid-cap stocks with ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos can rally over 26%, according to analysts
When you are in the market as an investor, it is best to ignore what is happening to the Nifty and Sensex… especially on the day of expiry of monthly contracts in the derivative segment. The movement of the Nifty and Sensex would be impacted on that day by unwinding and rollover of positions. What needs to be watched, instead, is the Q4 earnings season. It has panned out well till now. If it continues in the same mode when mid-cap companies start to declare their results, it would be a bullish sign. But there is a caveat: There may be volatility caused by global events. It is something you should be ready for.
