The “risk on trade” which had started with the US Fed indicating a pause in the interest rate cycle last year, got halted in the Indian market for the first three months of 2024.

Stay bullish but just be more selective: 5 midcap stocks from different sectors with potential upside of u
If one goes by what is happening on the street today, we probably are once again going back to a situation where mid-caps are charting their own journey and bulls are backing it. While the valuations are expensive, there is no point in fighting with liquidity, if it is going to mid caps and they are moving up irrespective of valuations or quality of stocks one cannot argue. But the only thing which as an investor one can do is to be careful when taking exposure to this segment of the market. Stay away from stocks where there is a narrative of stocks doing well that are not backed by fundamentals and track record. If the market stays like this, very soon once again there will be no dearth of tips floating in whatsapp groups and telegram channels. But there is enough evidence in history to show that finally it is earnings and valuations which decide what would be the price of stock price and clues about earnings come from just two things, sector and the management. So, focus on the sector and the quality and ability of management. Key Points

Once again everything is looking green, the way FY 25 has started, it appears that bulls were on short term break due to tight liquidity conditions which tends to appear in the last month of every financial year. While the local liquidity condition might improve, the issue of high valuation is still not over. It is still a time to be cautious in terms of not going overboard with taking exposure to a certain stock, selective about what one is buying. The reason, if the street becomes selective and gets into correction mode once again, it is stocks where there has been improvements in the business operating matrix will be able to weather the storm better. These selected stocks depict a strong upward trajectory in their overall average score which is based on five key pillars i.e. earnings, fundamentals, relative valuation, risk and price momentum.

After remaining under pressure for the first three weeks of March, there was some recovery at least in the broader market indices in the last two trading sessions of FY 24. It might be too early to call it a recovery, because if one looks at the market breadth, while it was positive, the way it cracked in the last one hour of trade indicates that a part of the market is still very much witnessing profit booking. So, it would be worthwhile to get more confirmation about bulls getting back to different corners of the street.

Is all the bad news and views priced in ? 4 stocks from the natural gas sector for contrarian trade.
Gas stocks have been underperforming the market for quite some time. The argument against them has been multifold, right from stagnation in terms of volume growth, companies not being able to expand in newer areas and the latest one being the threat from EV. Couple of months back, an announcement about pushing the electric vehicle (EV) more aggressively in Delhi, brought pressure on the stocks like IGL. While there is no doubt that over a period of time, EV will dominate, does it mean the end of the business of the gas companies? The answer is probably no, there are many other use cases and narrative about negative impact might be over stretched. Also the street might be ignoring the fact that these companies have enough cash on the balance sheet and also cash flows from existing lines of business to move into new areas which are part of the EV eco system.

Economic TimesThese 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.

Firstly, identify stocks from sectors exhibiting robust performance, benefiting from sectoral growth. This means that their business is not volatile.
