These 8 banking stocks can give more than 25% returns in 1 year, according to analysts
There are two things worth noticing in the market from the banking sector’s perspective. And these two things lead to a third factor, one which matters more to the street and to investors. First: Banking is probably one of few sectors where valuations have not gone through the roof. Second: Banking is among the few sectors that had more positive than negative surprises in the Q3 earnings season. Now co-relate the two and the third factor emerges: Banking stocks were able to outperform a strong bearish phase and they have been able to perform well as the market recovers.
As FIIs make a comeback, will the financial services segment shine again? 9 stocks with upside potential from 9 to 42%
FII have turned buyers in the Indian market for the first time this year. In the week to March 21, they were net buyers. So, they are back, but what are they buying? There is no foolproof way to know that. However, the way some financial services stocks are behaving, especially some of the lenders, it is probably this sector that is attracting their attention. Be it a large private bank trying to break a five-year jinx, or a private lender which recently formed a 52-week high. Now, nothing happens in the market without reason. And there is a reason for this as well.
As Nifty & Sensex recover, these large-caps have ‘strong buy’, ‘buy’ recos, with an upside potential of more than 30%
It might be a bit early to say with certainty, but the way things panned out in the last two weeks, the worst may be over for the bulls. When we say bulls, we include retail investors. That’s because all retail investors are by nature bullish. And rightly so, as it pays to be bullish about the India story. Now, the long phase of correction has brought us to a place where a large number of blue chips are at levels where the chances are that being bullish on them will deliver returns. But while being bullish, be selective and cautious as well.

Railways stocks: Time for a contrarian stand? Probably yes, but hedge. 6 stocks: 1 buy, 1 hold, and 4 with sell recos
Does being contrarian always help? Let’s answer this question by going back to early 2022. Was anyone recommending railways stocks then? The answer is no. Come mid-2023, buy recommendations started coming, and by the start of 2024 railway stocks had all the attention. After the 2024 elections, because the government did not announce the kind of numbers that the street expected, there was a de-rating of most PSU stocks, including railways. Things got worse because the market as a whole came under pressure. Today, a majority of analysts have sell recommendations on railways stocks. Will they be proven wrong?

What to do with stocks of BSE, CDSL & others that live and breathe the stock market? Is the best behind them?
Every bull run has a sector that stands out. Towards the end of the last bull run, a set of stocks that did extremely well were those related to the capital markets. From the stock exchange to the depositary to asset management companies… all did well. Even after all the mayhem of the past six months, on a one-year trailing returns basis these stocks are still in the green. But now a narrative has emerged that, because F&O segment volumes have dipped after the implementation of new rules in November 2024, these stocks are not as attractive. With stocks like BSE Limited seeing a sharp decline, the narrative has gathered strength. So, the question is: Should you sell, buy, or hold these stocks? The answer is different for each of them.

For risk-averse & long-term investors: 6 large-caps from different sectors with an upside potential of up to 44%
How would you classify a cigarette business? As a growth business or mature business? Probably a mix of both, with “mature” taking precedence over “growth”. The reason: It suggests the business has achieved some maturity; and given the product it deals in, business growth is only to be expected. Now another question: Will an economic slowdown impact the cigarette business? Probably not. Now, consider airports. Is it a growth or mature business? It is a business where growth is probably just taking off, so “growth" should take precedence over “mature”. So, different market conditions, different explanations and justifications is what the street sees all the time. The business remains the same, it is the perception of the business that changes.

These mid-cap stocks with ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos can rally over 32%, according to analysts
In the short term, sentiment impacts stock prices, which, in turn, is impacted by events and the narratives built around them. The big event around the corner is the reciprocal tariffs that are to kick off on April 2. Remember, however, that stock prices and the absolute value of stocks depend on sectoral fundamentals and valuations. While valuations have corrected in some stocks, they are still high in others, despite the correction of the past few months. If the Nifty and market breadth stay positive in the coming trading sessions, it is likely we will see mid-caps gaining strength. Of course, you will have to keep April 2 in mind.

These 8 banking stocks can give more than 22% returns in 1 year, according to analysts
This is something that might not be very obvious because the whole stock market has been under pressure. The fact, however, is that, leaving aside the IndusInd Bank episode, most banking stocks have been relative outperformers in the last six months of correction. In fact, the performance of banks like HDFC and Kotak suggest that the worst is probably over for the sector. There do not appear to be any stronger sellers in these stocks even when markets have been under pressure from bears. Time to focus on them once again?
