For investors willing to play the long game: 6 mid-cap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of more than 22%
Those following the market on a daily basis may have a sense that May was rather choppy, with the Nifty and Sensex yo-yoing one day to the next (and sometimes even intra-day). But the month actually saw the market extend its gains after the six-month-long correction sparked last October. That the bulls are perhaps back in action is evident from the fact that while the Nifty and Sensex were up around 2%, the broader indices did better. So, is it time for investors with a somewhat higher risk appetite to take a closer look at the mid-cap space? Perhaps, but with some caveats.

These large-caps have ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos and an upside potential of more than 30%
True, there’s no guessing President Trump's next statement or move. But global markets now seem to sense that the US might find it tough to maintain its high pitch in the tariff war for much longer, resulting in some sort of a rally. As far as the Indian markets are concerned, there is a clear change in trend, with bulls in control on most days. Our assumption is that, with the Q4 earnings season being better in many cases, the chances are that bulls will be on a firmer footing. But do continue to be cautious and selective. In fact, that should guide all investing in emerging markets like India.

Will these companies commit to ‘Make in India’? 8 MNC stocks with upside potential from just 7% to 70%
Imagine Apple did not have a manufacturing facility in India. It would have been in a very tight spot when Trump mega-tariffed China. Now, other MNCs with operations in China will also seek to derisk their supply chain. And India should be on top of the list. Of course, you can ask a pertinent question: Why, if the aim is to avoid tariff issues, do they not prefer the US? After all, that, according to President Trump, is the ultimate aim of the tariff war. However, the fact is that, even if these companies wanted to expand operations in the US, the cost (both of setting up and running operations) will be much higher than in India.
