ThePrintThese midcap stocks with ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos can rally over 30%, according to analysts
On Wednesday, thanks to one stock, Reliance industry, nifty was able to make a comeback. But what is more important is that market breadth, which has been under pressure for most of the sessions for the last three weeks, was in the green territory for most of the time. It is important to keep one eye on market breadth as that would be a more reliable indicator for deciding the strength and possible time frame for which the rally may last. Another thing which one should monitor closely is when the numbers of how much money has flown to mutual funds in the month of March which would get released in early April. This would be an indication of how much impact did AMFI advisory to mutual funds had on ground. Also, this would answer the question, whether this is another short term profit booking move or a beginning of a long phase correction and valuation adjustment.During this phase, analysts are bullish on select stocks from different sectors, some of which are either the leaders of their sector or part of the top three companies which are known to be well managed. ET screener powered by Refinitiv’s Stock Report Plus lists down quality stocks with high upside potential over the next 12 months, having an average recommendation rating of “buy” or strong buy .

These largecaps have ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos and upside potential of more than 20%
Today despite the fact that the nifty heavyweights are trading in green territory, nifty is still trading just moving close to the red territory. This along with a negative market breadth is clearly indicating that finally a phase of profit booking has come. There is a high probability that this corrective phase may continue further. Because the valuation differential in large and mid cap had increased very sharply, there is more probability of a mean revision trade taking place. It might be better for have a bias toward looking at large cap when investing fresh money. Key Points

These largecaps have ‘strong buy’ and ‘buy’ recos with upside potential of over 20%
After a long period of time, bears are seeming confident. How long they will be able to roam on the street is the question for which answers are being sought.

Nifty IT index is probably among very few sectoral indices which are still below the high they had touched in October 2021. Yes, the sector has some headwinds which not many had thought would appear two years back. But the bigger question is whether this phase of underperformance is about to get over or not. It might be too early to say as short term performance could be many reasons, but the way stocks have reacted to bad news and see sharp upward movement with slightly positive news, it might be worth bringing them back on watch list and shed the bias of looking at all IT stocks with a coloured lens.
