These largecaps have 'strong buy' & 'buy' recos and upside potential of more than 20%:
While it might be a bit early to say, but the way things have panned in the last couple of weeks, it is clear that bulls are not in any mood to leave the street. At the same time bears are also clear they will wait and on sidelines till election results. Two things one should remember at this point of intersection which rarely comes, that finally it is the business and the management which matters. Probably management of the large cap companies have that in abundance for two things, manage difficult times and by the end of the day grow.
Between, mid and large cap stocks has increased very sharply. So, while there is one side of the story which says that it is time to wait and watch, there is another side, in turbulent and uncertain times, the valuation matrix always favors large caps. Now look at the back of the envelope quantitative analysis. When markets are trading with strong bullish bias, some of the stocks tend to move off from the list of algorithm based stock buying lists.
This includes even the best of long term wealth creators. But when the market corrects, a number of them come back and the total number of stocks also increases on the last. In the month of April and also in December 2023, the total number of stocks which were on this list had come down to as low as 5 to 6. But in the last few days of correction the number of stocks have increased sharply to 13.
But this week again, the number of stocks are back to just 7. The stock of LIC was on the list for a long time and then we saw the stock gaining weight sharply in the last few months and it moved out the list and now once again coming back last week is once again back out of the list. On the list for a long time has been Indusind Bank, keep it on watch list for any sign of reversal.
