Sale on D-St, are you shopping? Top 50 stocks which could give up to 75% return in 1 year

The setup looks ripe for investors who want to be in Indian equity markets for the long term. Investors should buy those stocks where the growth visibility is high as against the ones which have fallen more, suggest experts.

  

After buoyant equity markets seen in the year 2017, Indian markets witnessed a selloff, a much awaited one post Budget where stocks from the S&P BSE 500 index corrected up to 50 percent in just one week.
Stocks which have suffered a double-digit cut include names like Vakrangee (down 58%), PC Jeweller (down 30%), Fortis Healthcare (down 27%), Just Dial (down 27%), Reliance Naval (down 27%), and IFCI (down 25%) among others.
The S&P BSE Sensex has fallen nearly 2000 points in the same period while the Nifty50 lost nearly 600 points in the same period.
The fall was largely led by both domestic and global factors. On the domestic front, the rise in crude oil prices, fiscal slippage, the rise in interest rates and long-term capital gains tax (LTCG) weighed on sentiment.
Considering that inflation is likely to rise further from hereon as suggested by the monetary policy committee statement, it is unlikely that interest rates will go down.
On the contrary, we are in the era of rising interest rates scenario & the same thing is happening globally. If this trend continues and globally interest rates firm up, it makes India less attractive market in the near-term to attract fresh flows.
We feel that markets may see some more consolidation at the current levels. However, some stocks & sectors can give more returns from the current level as compared to broad markets.
Globally, rising bond yields and fear of US Fed raising interest faster than expected led to some churn in Wall Street which led to a fall of near 1600-point drop in Dow earlier in the week.
The setup looks ripe for investors who want to be in Indian equity markets for the long term. Investors should buy those stocks where the growth visibility is high as against the ones which have fallen more, suggest experts.
A massive fall in a stock does not account for it being a value play. Instead, investors should hunt for those stocks which stand to benefit from the reforms tabled by the finance minister in the Budget 2018.
Laregcap stocks are a better play at current levels while investors should remain cautious while putting fresh money in the midcap stocks at current levels.
Based on risk-reward ratio, Nifty looks better off than the Midcap Index as the upside potential of both is similar i.e. 15-16 percent. “The risk-reward ratio of Mid Cap Index could look attractive with another 5-6% correction from current levels. Based on valuations the potential downside in Nifty works to 5% and that of the Mid Cap Index works to 12%.
Though there are individual stocks in the midcap space that have already corrected and can be accumulated at current levels and also declines..
Corrections are part of every bull market and as long as Nifty is holding above its key support levels, the upside remains intact. Investors should use dips to buy into quality stocks on every dip.
History suggests that in a bulls market, 10 percent type of correction is alright. A meaningful dip also helps investors to jump in who were waiting on the sidelines. But, making money will not be easy in 2018 unlike the year 2017.
My sense is that our markets would remain volatile till there is stability in the Global Markets and VIX settles down. It is difficult to gauge the extent of correction but a 10% fall in the index is considered normal in a bull marke.
Investors should stick to quality stocks rather than eyeing the high beta names. One thing which investors should avoid is to stop their running systematic investment plans (SIPs) and instead focus on accumulating stocks from those sectors which are likely to benefit most from Budget.
Ups and downs are part of the market and these are necessary for keeping the market healthy and buoyant. While stocks have seen good corrections in the market fall, it seems to be warranted given the sizable rally in the past 12 month.
Emerging markets are likely to perform better than developed markets, and among emerging economies, India stands out due to the various reforms especially the forward-looking GST implementation this government has done.
Few sectors we are positive on are, Specialty Chemicals, Infrastructure, Auto ancillary, discretionary consumption, textile and real estate ancillary companies.
SHOPPING LIST:
APL Apollo tubes, Century textiles, Dalmia Bharat, L&T and Maruti Suzuki.
It will depend on the individual stock credentials. However, we feel that stocks which have fallen less or have not fallen at all (eg. Ashok Leyland) are more resilient & were not driven by speculative money.
Companies with good businesses & good management generally do well in the long term and are also able to weather big corrections. Largecap stocks with least correction are expected to outperform markets in medium to long term. One needs to look at future earnings potential for the stock selection.

Use rallies to short Nifty; 4 stocks which can give up to 17% return

If Nifty manages to hold 10,270 levels, we may expect the index to consolidate. The immediate and strong hurdle for Nifty is placed around 10620, and any close above the same will lead to strong short covering in the index.

  

The index closed the day at 10476.7 on Wednesday with a minimal loss of 21.55 points after a volatile session and formed a bearish candle pattern on the daily chart.
The index has corrected nearly 7 percent from the recent highs and is currently trading near its strong support. The index has immediate support placed at 10360 which is its 100-DMA and below that 10270.
If Nifty manages to hold 10,270 levels, we may expect the index to consolidate. The immediate and strong hurdle for Nifty is placed around 10620, and any close above the same will lead to strong short covering in the index.
On the options front, highest open interest is placed at 10000 PE followed by at 10500 PE so 10,000 will act as a strong support in the month of February and on the higher side 11500 CE has highest open interest followed by 11000 CE.
In the recent past, we have witnessed long unwinding along with short built up in Nifty suggesting bears are having control at the moment.
We expect volatility to extend further and one need to trade with strict stop losses as it is a buy on the dip and sell on rising market for near term.
Currently, the index has strong resistance at 10620. Traders can initiate shorts on every rise with keeping a stop loss above 10620 and immediate support formed near 10270 so these level can be used as buying stop loss on the downside.

How to ride through the stock market volatility instead of panicking

To get best returns and realise your financial goals, you must stay invested for the long-term.


The current volatile stock market may worry you about your investments. However, if your investment strategies are directed towards meeting your financial goals which are planned for a longer time horizon, you only need to focus on your investment-cum-asset allocation strategy instead of present market fluctuations.
Here are some key points to remember while investing your money in equities:
Stick towards your long-term investment goals
Timing the market and taking action is like gambling and hoping to win on every move! We all know it is impossible. Yet, when it comes to equities, everyone feels that they can predict what will happen in the markets. “I am not suggesting that one should not be cautious and track the investments made but as investors, we need to focus on long-term goals for which the investments have been made. It not only makes the achievement of goal easier, it also eases the regular stress of reacting to various domestic and global external factors that affect the equity markets in the short term. In my view, recurrent churn in the portfolio only causes lower returns over the long term and in many cases, it ends up with disturbed allocations as one is trying to time the markets to enter or exit.
Equity investments generally tend to be goal-based – be it for buying a car or home, education, retirement, etc. To get best returns to realize these goals, you must stay invested for a longer period. Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) help you by averaging costs and reducing risks. So the longer you stay invested, the higher would be your returns. Typically, savings should continue for 5-10 years. All categories of equity schemes will deliver inflation plus returns over a 10-year period,” said Adhil Shetty, CEO – Bankbazaar.com.
Review your Asset Allocation Strategy
It is prudent that one sticks to their asset allocation at all times as correct asset allocation is made on the basis of individual risk appetite. Generally, investors get carried away when certain asset classes tend to outperform the other in the short term.
We may recall, allocation to Gold ETFs was a hit between 2011-2013 when equities were underperforming. For those who made the shift eventually not only lost staying in Gold and losing on the gain in equities. Needless to say that Gold as an asset class should be there in one's portfolio maximum upto 5% to hedge inflation and global uncertainties when investors move to gold as the safest haven. Hence, it is essential that investors review the portfolios and accordingly adjust the allocations periodically. For example, currently, most equity allocations have shot up due to the sharp rise in the markets. Ideally, one should adjust them now. Over a period of time, if markets tend to correct and exposure to equities reduce, one should accordingly increase the exposure. We recommend to review the allocation every 6 months to a year or when there is a sharp move in the invested asset class.
Gain from bearish market sentiments
Investors must consider market corrections as a great opportunity for wealth creation. Like other past corrections, this phase would also pass after presenting opportunities to buy funds at an attractive valuation.With existing equity fund investments and SIP contributions can invest 10-20% of their equity portfolio in a lump sum at every 5% correction in broader indices. However, avoid mid and small-cap funds as valuations are still on the higher side. “Frequent portfolio reviews only compound the emotions of fear and anxiety among investors, leading many to redeem investments and book losses. Instead, mutual fund investors should list down their goals and investment horizon and check whether their asset allocation needs any adjustment. Do not review your portfolio just because of some bad news.
One must actively invest for the long-term through systematic investment approach on a monthly basis where through these market corrections one can also get the rupee-cost averaging benefit too. Hence, fence-sitters who did not invest in the recent past should start investing.

Multibagger Idea: Saurabh Mukherjea shares the recipe of bagging 10x return in 10 years

The definition of a good company is a company which has given consistent growth in revenues consistently for the last 10 years with a return of capital employed of 15 percent.

    

Making money in equity markets is not easy and investors are always in search of stocks which can give multibagger returns in near future. Finding such stocks is tough, and requires a lot of study, but there is a simple formula to spot such stocks with high return potential.
Saurabh Mukherjea of Ambit Capital in his latest book titled 'Coffee Can Investing' is all about buying quality companies and holding them for long-term. “It highlights the strategy of buying companies which are growing at a decent rate with sensible ROCs and sit tight. If investors typically do this, we get 10 times return in 10 years.
Markets are fully valued right now and our fair value of the S&P BSE Sensex is around 30,000, said Mukherjea. The economy is recovering and the stock market is overvalued and by year-end, this overvaluation will get cleansed out.
The global economy is steaming along, and it looks like across the world including India we have pre-empted the recovery by buying ahead of it, and now a correction of 15 percent could bring things to a stable footing.
In India, the cause for a fall could be LTCG while for US markets it could be a rise in bond yields.
If the index corrects further investors should not rush into buying stocks which have fallen the most. Instead, look for good companies which have given consistent growth rate in the past, quality management and good balance sheet.
The definition of a good company is one which has given consistent revenue growth for the last 10 years with a return of capital employed of 15 percent.
Unfortunately, only 17-18 companies qualify with this criteria. But, if investors systematically buy those companies they will get 10 times return in the next 10 years.
Investors can use the same mantra to select companies in the smallcap space which have given sensible growth in the past 5-6 years, clean accounting and one important thing to see if these stocks have not run-up nearly as much compared to stocks with weak accounting and shady fundamentals.
The identity of the winning stocks will change depending on the economy. In the last couple of years, the Coffee Can portfolio has companies from the building material sector. This year, 2018, we have added midcap pharma company.
The matrix we are using to select companies is 10 percent revenue growth and ROC itself are doing the job for you. It will help in filtering companies which are likely to benefit the most based on economic development.
Commenting on the Budget, Mukherjea said barring LTCG Tax, rest of the Budget 2018 was broadly in-line with expectations.
