To take care of possible headwinds: 4 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up t

Market has a strange habit of giving surprises on both sides, moving up when no one is expecting and news is bad all around. Falling when no one is expecting it to fall and there is good news all around. So, in today’s time when there is good news all around, right from higher GDP numbers to better GST collections and on micro front companies announcing more orders and even words like expansion of capacity coming back, instead of predicting the time when there will be a correction, just be ready for it. Ready by staying with large caps and that too with sectors and stocks where some tailwinds are emerging. This is not to say that there cannot be some underperformance in large cap space, but the fact is that over the long term these large caps not only create much more wealth but in a bearish phase, they tend to protect the wealth by falling less as compared to mid and small caps.
