Brokerages Flag Ten Indian Stocks With Up To 55% Upside
Several brokerages studied the Indian stock market and selected 10 companies they believe could perform well.
Their suggested price targets imply possible gains ranging from about 10.7% to 54.5%.
The companies work in areas such as power, defence, telecom, cars, retail, infrastructure, and medicine research.
NTPC was supported because energy storage may become more important in India.
Bharat Electronics was praised for receiving orders across many defence and electronics products.
Bharti Airtel was backed because its revenue and market share have been growing.
Eternal and Avenue Supermarts were supported because of expected growth in quick commerce and retail stores.
Other companies were recommended because of stronger demand, new products, or improving profits.
These are brokerage opinions, not guarantees that the stocks will rise.
Indian equities ended lower, with the Nifty 50 down 0.47% and the Sensex down 0.44% for the week.
Brokerages rated 10 stocks Buy, Outperform, or High-Conviction Outperform, with stated upside estimates ranging from 10.7% to 54.5%.
NTPC, Bharat Electronics, Adani Enterprises, Bharti Airtel, and Cummins India were backed by energy, defence, infrastructure, telecom, and data-center themes.
Eternal, Avenue Supermarts, V-Mart Retail, Hyundai Motor India, and Sai Life Sciences were supported by growth, product, retail, or business-performance expectations.
