5 midcap stocks from different sectors with potential upside of up to 20%:
In the last two months of the market, while the midcaps have done well, though the pace at which the outperformance was taking place has slowed down. So, there is a profit booking taking place in different parts and sectors. Part of this profit booking is due to the fact the valuations are high and probability that it would continue. At this point of time one should also focus on reducing risk.
In equity markets, whatever precaution one might take, the probability of a mistake of getting stuck with a wrong stock is always high. But then there are mistakes and silly mistakes, just try to avoid silly mistakes. How? Stay away from stocks where there is a narrative that this sector will do well because of ABCD reasons or the company will get such and such orders worth this much. There is enough evidence in history to show that more than anything else, checks and balances are most important at this point of time, while making investment decisions and
avoiding silly mistakes.
All those who are looking to invest in mid caps, it would be worthwhile to look at some of the other fundamentals of the company before taking an exposure. Why should this be done? While there can hardly be any debate about the fact that valuations across market segments are high. But there is another fact that while valuations are high there are another couple of things which are also high. First, the desire to buy equity, especially midcaps. Second, flows from domestic investors and last but the least the risk. Now risk is something which the street is in mood to ignore at this point of time.
