There are PSU stocks, and there are PSU businesses. Choose the business. 57 PSU stocks, some good, some not so good
A year back, on the day the results of 2024 general elections were getting declared, PSU stocks as a set suffered a sudden setback. From being much loved in the first six months of 2024, they were suddenly being hit. The reason: The street assumed that, without a clear majority, Modi 3.0 would not be able to take decisions which it was able to in Modi 2.0. But a year down the line, it is no longer about a company being a PSU or not. It is about business. So, sectors where there have been developments are clearly seeing things turn for the better.
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 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.
These mid-cap stocks with ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos can rally over 26%, according to analysts
With each passing night of peace on the border, the street is getting into a mode where it will look only at what matters. And that is earnings (and macro developments in a sector that will impact future earnings). Now, a factor favouring bulls today is that, unlike three months back when the street punished every company no matter how good or bad its results were, the reaction to the Q4 earnings has been stock-specific. That is, for a company that is able to deliver earnings, there is money waiting in the wings.

Donald Trump says he doesn’t know what Canadian PM Mark Carney wants to discuss, just a day before their White House meeting, leaving many wondering about the purpose of the high-level talks.

All filled with risk, but some also with rewards: 12 large- and mid-cap fertilizer stocks with a few potential winners
One sector where efforts at a clean-up have been taking longer than expected is the fertilizer sector. What started with the idea of a coating of neem on urea seems to be getting stuck with one or the other issue. The reality is that, as a sector, it has so many variables that any clean-up will take time. Are we close to an inflection point? The answer is in a grey area. But will it happen in another couple of years? Yes. And will every company get its act together? No.

Ready for a sustained re-rating? 7 stocks from the sugar sector, 5 with an upside potential of up to 48%
The first attempt to blend ethanol in gasoline to achieve the twin objectives of reducing the oil import bill and helping the sugar industry was made way back in 2001. For one or the other reason, things did not work out as planned. The effort was renewed some seven years back, amidst skepticism both in the industry and on the street. Today, however, there is a feeling that change has arrived for the sugar industry. Most companies have done capex for ethanol capacity expansion. Is the industry, once the bane of bankers, all set to emerge as a key part of the clean energy ecosystem?
