These largecaps have 'strong buy' & 'buy' recos and upside potential of more than 20%:
Today because the nifty is trading in the red territory, the word correction might be heard on the street but the fact is that for the last many weeks, there has been a correction which has been taking place on the street. That correction did not appear to be very obvious because one or the other sector kept witnessing sharp up moves and the whole focus of the market went there. So, sometimes it was railways stocks, sometimes power PSUs which keep the noise levels high. The good part is that such kind of sectoral corrections are indicative of underlying bullishness and these corrections are part of any bull run. The only thing any investor needs to make sure is that in any corrective phase, bias when making fresh investment should be toward large cap stocks as there is a possibility that they would see less damage in corrections which are stronger in nature due to global or macro developments.
Market tends to revert to its mean is a very well known thing, but when it would happen is something which cannot be predicted.
In the last one year, the differential in valuation between, mid and large cap stocks has increased very sharply. This differential is even more striking given the fact it has come even in space like private sector banks which have had been getting premium valuation for decades.
If the market remains under the control of bulls there is a probability that over the next few quarters markets may see a mean reversion. It might happen in both ways, mid-cap witnessing some profit booking and large caps doing relatively well in the corrective phase of the markets. First indications of that appear to be already in place with some large cap companies from manufacturing space doing well. While it might not appear to be very obvious, there is profit booking happening in the markets. The reason why it is not appearing clearly is because one or the other sector keeping witnessing sharp upmove and the whole focus of the market goes there.
