These large-caps have ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos and an upside potential of more than 25%
Any investor who has been in the Indian market before Covid knows that corrections are part of every bull run. But it is important that even they be aware whether the correction was led by global or domestic factors. Why? Because the magnitude of the correction in terms of price damage, how long it lasts, and how the recovery shapes up are different for those sparked by global and domestic events. Now, as the market shows signs of recovery, focus on what the currency markets are doing as it is global reasons that are likely to lead to a recovery. The first hint of change will come from the Dollar Index. As and when there is a reversal, the first tranche of money is likely to flow to blue chips. Time to have them on your watch list.
Gen Z is taking ‘micro-retirement.’ Don’t laugh.
Gen Z's concept of 'micro-retirement,' a self-funded adult gap year to combat burnout, is gaining traction. Employers should consider offering such breaks as a perk to improve employee retention. The idea emphasizes a complete break from work for personal fulfillment, rather than traditional sabbaticals tied to skill enhancement or research.
This ratio will gain importance in the coming months. 5 stocks which fit with bill with an upside potential of up to 42%
There is always the chance of going wrong in the market. So, caution and a long-term perspective should be your mantras. But there are times like now (an economic slowdown coupled with global issues) when thinking before deciding is a must. This is also when value becomes important. Now, most investors ascertain value using the price-to-earning or PE ratio. But, as the market adjusts to the Q3 numbers and prices in Q4, relying on this ratio could lead to more wrong decisions than right. When looking at a long-term investment, it is better to use the lesser-known PEG ratio. 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.

There are earnings seasons and their earnings seasons. While every earnings season is important, some are more important than others as they provide a clear picture of what is happening not only with a particular company, but also the sector it is in, as well as the broader economy itself. The Q3 earning season in this FY was one of those critical periods. It was one that, after a long period of time, held a mirror up to the street, which seemed to have assumed that all things are good, and will remain good forever. And that markets only move in a linear fashion.

These large-caps have ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos and an upside potential of more than 26%
The Indian market, in correction mode for five months, is not a standalone underperformer. A part of the correction does and will continue to happen because of global markets. So, when Dow Jones Futures indicates in the afternoon that it will open with a 1% cut, or Nasdaq is set for a cut of over 2%, expecting the Nifty to end the day in the green is foolhardy. It’s simple: If the US markets are going to drop, there is no way the Indian market, or for that matter any other, whether emerging or developed, will see a standalone uptrend. Yes, there will be phases of relative outperformance. Are Indian markets going through that? Is market behavior indicating that?

Stock picks of the week: 6 stocks with consistent score improvement and return potential of more than 36% in 1 year
For the past two years, March has been the month when bears were briefly seen even in the midst of a strong bull market. This year, they are being helped by both local (a slowdown in earnings) and global factors (the tariff tantrum). So, to expect volatility to reduce now is a bit farfetched. Yet, fearing volatility does not help. It is better to learn to live and deal with volatility. 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.

Natural glitter over lab-grown shine? Consider factors like carat, cut, and clarity before choosing between lab-grown or natural diamonds

A natural 1-carat solitaire can cost Rs. 2-3 lakh, while a 1.5-carat lab-grown diamond can be purchased for as little as Rs. 45,000 per carat. However, before taking the final call, be sure to carefully analyse the 4 Cs—carat, cut, color, and clarity of the diamond.
Down today, but they cannot be out in the long term: 7 stocks from the NBFC space, 5 with an upside potential of over 26%
While the broader market is witnessing sharp cuts, some sectors have been under pressure much before the current phase of correction began. NBFCs, for instance, have been under pressure for more than two years. Now, you may ask why you should look at a sector that was faring poorly even in a bull run. To answer that, you need to know the reason why they were under pressure. But before we get to that, remember: NBFCs are the backbone of the economy. In times like these, just make sure that you buy stocks of companies where promoters have a track record of dealing with both euphoria and depression on the street, and in the real business as well.
