For medium-term investors with appetite for ‘time risk’: 6 small-cap stocks from different sectors with upside potential up to 37%
Uncertainty rules both the domestic and global markets. And we seem headed for a slowdown in corporate earnings growth. In times like these, it might not appear to be a good idea to look at small-cap stocks. But, consider this: After witnessing sky-high valuations, there has been a correction in the small-cap space in the last three months. There are some stocks and sectors where companies with good products or services have reached a level where they are worth looking at. Even assuming the global market again turns volatile in the short term, these businesses are worth owning for the long term.
Stay focused: First, on the long term & second on core business: 6 mid-cap stocks with an upside potential of up to 45%
Both due to global and domestic events, there is a high probability that the volatility quotient of the market will remain high for the next couple of months. But that does not mean that you cannot be bullish. You can, but with a caveat: While buying stocks, give more importance to risk-management. When we say risk management, don’t just focus on allocation of money. Focus also on the way you select a stock or a sector. Because what you buy is more important than what is happening to the Nifty and Sensex.

Why dividend yield, ignored in bull markets, matters: 6 stocks with high dividend yield of 5-9%
Nine months back there was hardly a stock with a dividend yield matching the interest rate of a savings bank (SB) account. Today, some have yields on par with fixed deposit rates. Now, consider a different point: The subjective nature of dividend payout and capital gains. Dividend payment is not only a function of how much money a company is making, but also a habit of the management, or its intent. There are companies sitting on cash piles but with low dividend-payout ratios. Capital gain is a function of many other things, some under the control of stock market players, and some not so much so. So, better focus on an element where there is still some certainty if management has the intent. And that is dividend yield.

Stock picks of the week: 5 stocks with consistent score improvement and return potential of more than 34% in 1 year
As volatility increases on the street, you will hear talk of the Nifty getting support at XYZ or some other level. This is where investors need to be cautious. The reason is simple: The bottom line and earnings of companies are not impacted by where the Nifty is trading. It is impacted by what is happening in their sectors. And you can get a fair idea of what is happening in a sector from what the management says in its con-calls after the quarterly earnings. Our selected stocks for today depict a strong upward trajectory in their overall average score which is based on five key pillars: Earnings, fundamentals, relative valuation, risk, and price momentum. This implies that there has been a significant improvement in their market outlook in the given time frame.

For investors with long-term perspective and ability to ignore volatility: 6 small-caps from with upside potential of up to 43%
Apart from the business risk which every stock has, small-caps have another, inherent risk. This is technical in nature, but can prove a big headache if you are caught on the wrong foot. Many small-caps have limited floating stock. So, a bout of buying can lead to a sharp rise in prices, which is good in bullish times. But, if there is even a small bout of selling when valuations are high, there is hardly any buyer. In the past year small-caps have seen both scenarios: Being the most loved as well as being the most battered. Now extremes never last in the market. So, has the time come to increase your risk quotient and look at some small-caps with a long-term perspective? Perhaps, but with one caveat.
