Specialty chemicals: Time for a re-look, as China negotiates & they integrate: 11 stocks, 6 with upside potential of over 27%
China Plus One is not quite making the headlines these days. But in the chemicals sector (both in speciality as well as commodity chemicals), underlying changes are happening at a reasonably strong pace that will bring it back into the limelight. These changes are focused on ensuring at least partial backward integration so that, over the medium term, dependence on Chinese imports comes down. This, however, will take time. And till it actually happens, there will be quarters, even years, when some of these companies will be under some pressure. So, a “Hold” phase, before these stocks turn into “Buys”.

Insider job? Pirated versions of Hindi films surface days before box office release

These mid-cap stocks with ‘Strong Buy’ & ‘Buy’ recos can rally over 30%, according to analysts
After a long phase of correction and underperformance, there are signs of life in the mid-cap segment of the market. At this point of time, fear still rules, but the chances are that the worst is behind us in terms of selling. But when and how demand will come is the big question, because that will decide the velocity at which mid-cap stocks move upward. Our optimism stems from the relative performance of the mid-cap universe of stocks.

Nothing wrong in being bullish, just be volatility-ready: 7 mid-cap stocks from different sectors with an upside potential of up to 48%
While it is still not a runaway rally, there are clear indications that, after four months of correction, mid-cap stocks are making a comeback. Unlike in early 2024, when the rally was across the board, this time it is very likely to be more selective in terms of stocks. Also, given the fact that valuations are not still in the cheaper zone, it might be better to stay with the leaders of a sector.

For risk-takers with medium-term perspective: 8 mid-cap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of more than 40%
The “risk-on trade” which had just started for the Indian and other emerging markets took a pause for the Indian market, as the fear of an escalation at the India-Pakistan border gripped the street. But with the assumption that the current phase of tension is over, there is a high probability that risk-on trade will resume and that is where mid-cap stocks enter the picture. But do remember: When it comes to mid-caps, you need to be selective.

The 2021-22 annual report shows it was not all tall talk. The company, it said, had set up a “state-of-the-art electronics plant in Bawal, Haryana, where [it] will manufacture cutting-edge electronic components and technology software – focusing on developing EV components. Cut to Q3FY25: 33% of its total order book of Rs. 2,600 crore comes from EVs.

After five months of cooling off in the mid-cap segment, can we say valuations are fairly priced? The answer is no. But does it mean that we should avoid this segment? The answer is, again, no. The reason: We are at a stage where, rather than broad-brushing, it is better to adopt a sector-by-sector and stock-by-stock approach. If the Nifty and market breadth stay positive in the coming trading sessions, it is likely we will see mid-caps gaining strength. It may also probably signal the end of this phase of correction.
Stay focused: First, on the long term & second on core business: 6 mid-cap stocks with an upside potential of up to 45%
Both due to global and domestic events, there is a high probability that the volatility quotient of the market will remain high for the next couple of months. But that does not mean that you cannot be bullish. You can, but with a caveat: While buying stocks, give more importance to risk-management. When we say risk management, don’t just focus on allocation of money. Focus also on the way you select a stock or a sector. Because what you buy is more important than what is happening to the Nifty and Sensex.

The markets are at a stage where everyone is thinking one day at a time. The reason: Volatility. Today (Thursday), the markets are closed for trading in India. No one knows what will happen to the US market when they open for trade for Thursday later in the evening. The Indian market will react on Friday to whatever happens in the US market. Now, given the fact that Wednesday saw strong volatile movement in the Dow on the basis of tariff-related statements, to predict what will happen till Friday morning is impossible. So, remember: Investing is not about thinking on a day-to-day basis. It is about thinking beyond what is happening today.

‘Work-life balance’ debate: 10 stocks that provide the element of ‘balance’, with an upside potential up to 33%
The “work-life balance” debate got the fillip with Gautam Adani joining in earlier this week. The fact is that, as the economy progresses, it induces change, both in terms of needs and preferences. To put it in perspective: Need is money and preference is leisure. In a recent survey, young people were asked what they would look at while deciding whether or not to take up a job. The responses suggested that “work-life balance” was a priority for today’s youth. Now, how does this relate to the stock market? It does, because the “balance” they speak of has an element of higher consumption of some goods and services.
If bears & volatility cause anxiety, business is the pill. 5 mid-cap stocks from different sectors with an upside potential of up to 33%
Without mid-caps in your portfolio, your returns even in a long bull run is unlikely to be high. That’s because, although they come under pressure during corrective phases, mid-caps have given the best returns in the past 10 years. Why are mid-cap companies able to grow rapidly in a growing economy like India? Because they are nimble. Whether it’s the cost of capital or new markets opening up, it is mid-sized companies that seize opportunities to accelerate growth. Now, some key questions: Which stocks to own? When to buy them? And for what horizon? Finally, there has to be a good reason why you are buying a particular stock. It could be market size, a company being the segment leader, or even one with a library no one can replicate.
One reason is good enough to own them: 5 midcap stocks from different sectors and upside potential of upto 27 %
While there are phases, where they come under pressure, the fact remains that the last ten years best returns have come from mid-cap stocks. So, probably if one is not owning then the return even in the longest of the bull run will not be very high. One of the reasons why mid-cap stocks are able to do well when an economy like India grows at a faster pace is that mid-sized companies are able to improve their operating matrix. Whether it is the cost of capital which comes down, new markets getting opened, it is mid sized companies operating in certain sectors which see faster growth. But the bigger question is which stocks to own, when to buy them and what should be the horizon for which they should be bought and last but not least there has to be one reason why one is buying that particular stock. It could be market size, company being the leader or even a company having a library which no one can replicate.
Repurpose FOMO for long term investing: 5 midcap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 32%
Few months back when the nifty was forming a new high there was an event risk in terms of election results and valuations were high. Now once again nifty and other indices are forming new highs. While the event risk is over the valuation risk is still present. One should not be afraid of admitting the fact, as the indices move upward, the desire to participate is going to increase as the fear of missing out (FOMO) is bound to play out. So while being bullish, be more cautious and be more agile when it comes to taking decisions. It would be better that while looking at growth stocks one also focuses on reducing the risk by taking a hard look at some numbers which are critical indicators.
