These large-caps have ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos and an upside potential of more than 25%
The Indian economy is probably one of the most sensitive economies when it comes to spikes in oil prices. But the way the market reacted to the US strike on Iran indicates that some part of the uncertainty may have already been built into oil prices (they are up 10% since the strike by Israel). As of now, there is no sharp spike nor a disruption in supplies due to any blockage of the Strait of Hormuz. So, prices may stay in range-bound mode and that is what the street would like to see. With the caveat that a spike in oil prices will see the street react, it could be time to be cautiously bullish.

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.

These large- and mid-cap stocks can give more than 25% return in 1 year, according to analysts
One day of correction and memories of January and February come flooding back. But let's be very clear: We are not going to see a phase where the Indian market is a standalone underperformer in the emerging market space. It does not mean we won't see volatility and corrections that are part of any bull run. Our assumption of bullishness is because the market's reaction to the Q4 earnings season has been better than expected. The street has rewarded companies (both large- and mid-caps) that had better-than-expected numbers. And punished those that did not.

These large- and mid-cap stocks can give more than 30% return in 1 year, according to analysts
History suggests that recoveries in the markets are led by large-cap stocks. But in the past two years, because a large amount of money has started to flow into mid-cap MF schemes, there have been phases where the rally and recovery have been led by mid-caps. If we go with the assumption that the markets will remain in bullish mode, it would be better to have exposure to stocks from both the mid- and large-cap segments. It also ensures diversification both in terms of market cap as well as sector. Remember: There are a number of sectors that only have mid-cap companies and some of them are doing well.
Early rains a hiccup, but FMCG sector poised for growth; Anand Rathi bets on HUL, Godrej Consumer, Emami

These large-caps have ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos and an upside potential of more than 30%
There is no dearth of money waiting to flow into the market. This is clear from the reaction of the street to the Q4 earnings. If the results were good, the stocks saw a bounce. And if results were not in line with expectations, then there was enough supply to punish the stock. So, clearly, the market is in stock-specific mode rather than in a clear trending mode. It is very likely that the bias of the market will continue to remain bullish. This is probably a good time to focus on large-cap stocks with good track records.
Both from a medium- and long-term perspective: 7 large-caps stocks from different sectors with an upside potential of up to 49%
If you leave aside new age companies like Zomato that got listed as large-caps, a vast majority of stocks in this segment have gone through many business cycles. And that is what makes a difference: The experience of managements in dealing with economic cycles. However good a sector or a business might be, it inevitably goes through a phase where it faces challenges; and its comeback is largely dependent on the experience of the management. At a time when there is global uncertainty over the shape of the New World Order that may emerge after the ongoing tariff wars, it may be better to stay with experienced managements and the reasonable probability of growth.
