For investors with ability to take a contrarian stand: 6 mid-cap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of over 26% return
If you are one of those who are looking at mid-cap stocks once again because they have done well in the last four weeks, and you want to average out your mid-cap holdings, take a pause. Why? Because mid-cap stocks should not be treated like short-term tactical investment instruments. In fact, if you want to make real wealth out of mid-caps, you have to be patient with them and also have a greater ability to be contrarian. Hold on to your convictions even when the whole world is going against them.
These large-caps have ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos and an upside potential of more than 25%
Here’s an old market saying: Even when the bulls are in control, you can never write off the bears. They will make an appearance at regular intervals, sometimes staying longer than expected. At this point of time, both the bulls and bears are placed pretty much at the same levels, though the bias is toward the bulls. In such a scenario, it is better to focus on one thing: Earnings, and the overall possible growth in a sector. At the end of the day, the stock market is about earnings. And that has a very different trajectory from what the bulls and bears push the market toward at different points of time.
Stock picks of the week: 5 stocks with consistent score improvement and return potential of over 24% in 1 year
Why are we making bullish assumptions at a time of geopolitical uncertainty? For one, a number of mid-cap stocks are participating in the recovery, and that deserves some weightage. Another reason: the market's reaction to Q4 results has been relatively charitable—and also stock-specific. However, before making any significant capital commitments, it would be prudent to remain cautious and selective. Our stance stems from the fact that, even after the recent correction, valuations are still not in the “cheap” territory. So, essentially—be bullish, but selective. And last but not least, be prepared for volatility. Our selected stocks for today show 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 suggests a significant improvement in their market outlook over the observed time frame.
Before the billionaire: Warren Buffett’s private playbook on becoming wealthy
Warren Buffett’s early partnership letters offer timeless investing wisdom: ignore the crowd, value discipline over hype, and prioritize capital protection. He focused on deep analysis, not timing, buying undervalued assets with a margin of safety. His success came from patience, independence, and long-term thinking—not market trends or excitement.
Handle volatility in conventional & unconventional ways: Capital gains & dividend yield. 6 stocks with dividend yield of 4-8%; return of over 22%
How are individual investors different from institutional investors? Here’s one fundamental difference: Most individual investors don't even look at dividend yield before buying stocks, something institutional investors give due importance to. In their communications, institutional investors are clear that dividend yield is a good enough reason to buy a stock because it is an income stream beyond possible capital gains. Around a year back, when valuations were extremely high, it was difficult to find stocks with good dividend yields and a reasonable probability of capital gains. But the corrections in the market have brought some opportunities to the fore.

Stock picks of the week: 5 stocks with consistent score improvement and return potential of more than 32% in 1 year
In the long run, it is the bulls who always win. There is ample evidence to back this assertion. But, for the bulls to be successful in the short term, a number of factors need to get aligned – from growth numbers to liquidity. We are currently in a phase where global risk (tariff as well as real wars) is high, and that is a factor you need to keep in mind. But if you are a long-term investor, you need not bother about short-term disturbance, geopolitical or otherwise. 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.
For long-term investors: Management with a track record; 5 stocks with upside potential of up to 27%
Not everyone can take advantage of every business opportunity. Let’s put this statement in perspective. Many sectors have been opened up in the 34 years since liberalization began in 1991. This period has seen many companies get into different sectors. How many of them have grown? How many crashed and burned? The difference between the two outcomes can be traced to one factor: Management competence. And when we say competence, it encompasses everything: The ability to spot an opportunity, being greedy at the right time, using capital in the right way, and probably also being fearful when required. And this competence is more likely to be seen in large-cap companies that have weathered many storms.

There are reports that suggest the government is considering major changes in how the insurance products are distributed. Right from insurance agents to PSU banks, there is a plan to revamp with a focus on “insurance for all”. Will this change the picture of the insurance industry?

Not a hard and fast rule, but using this ratio increases probability of getting it right: 7 stocks with an upside potential of up to 26%
How do you value a stock? Which has a high valuation, and which is cheap? It all depends on the ratio you use to ascertain value. Consider this example: Twelve years back, the stock of an MNC FMCG company was quoting at a PE multiple of 44. At that time, the Nifty’s PE was at 25. Since then, the market capitalization of the stock has grown 10 times and its PE ratio today stands at 65. On the other hand, there was a construction company quoting at a PE multiple less than 15 around the same time, but its market capitalization today is half of what it was 12 years ago. See how relying solely on the PE ratio creates hurdles in the way of wealth creation?
Tariff jitters temporary, long-term upside intact for India Inc.: Deepak Shenoy

Time to take a logical risk: 6 housing finance stocks with upside potential of up to 43%
It’s a sector that has had its good guys as well as its villains. Just about seven years back, it was a housing finance company that was responsible for a major scandal that rocked NBFCs. At the same time, the sector has seen one of the biggest wealth creators in the history of the Indian stock markets. Under the strict regulatory gaze of the RBI, the companies in the sector have been underperformers for a while. However, they are now slowly stirring to life. So, watch them closely.
Transformation theme: 9 stocks from the energy & power ecosystem as it transitions to clean energy
The structural transformation in the auto sector is much talked about and given credit by the street. Another sector that has been undergoing a similar transformation, though quietly, is the energy sector. Large companies in the energy space – whether in oil marketing, refining, or any other – have been forming JVs or floating subsidiaries to get into New Energy areas. This transition is much bigger than in the auto space, but a bit too slow to excite the street. So get these stocks on your watchlist.
With a long-term perspective: 5 stocks from different sectors which fit the bill on a more important, but less used ratio
Heard of the PEG ratio? When looking at long-term investments, it is a better ratio to use than the PE ratio. For one, it helps you avoid stocks which might appear cheap but actually are not value buys. Again, in sectors that are cyclical in nature, looking at the PE matrix alone may lead to wrong decisions. In the PEG ratio, one of the variables is growth. But growth itself is a function of many variables and that is the challenge you need to navigate when using PEG. It is also the reason why not many use this ratio frequently. But the effort will pay off in terms of helping you identify the right stocks.

MNC pharma companies: Time to take a re-look? 8 pharma stocks, 5 with an upside of up to 34%
Some time back an MNC pharma firm announced the divestment of one of its businesses in India. Another sold one of its plants. Now, with the capital in hand, they may either expand into some other segment, or farm out the extra cash as a special dividend. These companies could thus become dividend plays. If the company increases its focus on India and does it through already listed entities, then there will be strong upward re-rating. But if the focus shifts to a 100% subsidiary, there will be strong de-rating and underperformance. These stocks are thus for investors who have a high risk appetite
Sometimes only ‘Hold’ is required for wealth creation: 18 large, mid- and small-caps stocks with upside potential of up to 55%
Does anyone have any control over what President Trump may say or do next? Can anyone predict how China, or for that matter the EU, will react to what Trump does? The answer is no. So, when you cannot predict what the main players behind global economic and financial moves do, why try to predict what will happen to stock prices? And, why are we bringing this up at this juncture? While markets are largely about buying and selling, wealth creation is also about holding stocks. There are times when it is more important to just hold on to stocks.
For risk-takers with medium-term perspective: 6 mid-cap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of over 35%
Any time is a good time to buy a good business, and any time is a bad time to buy a bad business. Yes, we are talking about businesses and not stocks. The reason is simple: Buying a stock means you own a part of that business. It is thus not about buying good or bad stocks, but about buying good or bad businesses. So, the next time you buy a stock, take a look at the underlying business. And assess the probability of it being a good one. Then market cap becomes a secondary thing.
Stable and sustainable for long-term investors: 10 stocks from the energy ecosystem with upside potential of more than 20%
In sectors undergoing structural changes, there comes a point where companies in the sector will either produce results, or they will disappoint. Now, as they get closer to that point, the street begins to discount possible future earnings. In the case of the energy sector, the transformation has been slower. But it is stable and stronger in the sense that once it happens, it stays for years. Investors looking for long-term opportunities may as well have these stocks from the energy ecosystem on their watchlist.

Today’s selection of stocks, though from different sectors, have created wealth over the years. Now, such stocks have some things in common. One: Their product or service fulfils an important “need”.
