Midcap stocks with ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recommendations by Experts

During the recent phase of the market correction that’s been shaking up the Nifty, something interesting has been happening in the arena of the mid-cap stock. These mid-sized players seem to be defying the bears and dancing to the bull’s tune. The market participation in this segment is on the rise, with positive market breadth.

As things stand, the overall sentiment in all segments of the market is bullish. Of course, this could change if there are major global or domestic developments. But as of now, the spotlight is firmly on mid-cap stocks.

In such a buoyant environment, market analysts are enthusiastic about a select group of mid-cap stocks spanning various sectors. We used a meticulous methodology to filter them:

Step 1: Minimum 20% Upside Potential

We calculated the average price targets for all the stocks, considering analyst target prices for the next 12 months. This average price target was then compared to current market prices to determine the average upside potential, expressed as a percentage. To make it onto this list, stocks had to have a minimum upside potential of 20%.

Step 2: “Buy” or “Strong Buy” Rating with at Least 10 Analysts

After the first step, we only considered stocks with a “buy” or “strong buy” rating, and a minimum of 10 analysts who provided price targets for the stock. Any stocks that didn’t meet these criteria were removed from the list.

Step 3: Market Capitalization Between Rs 5,000 Crore and Rs 25,000 Crore

In the final step, we selected only those stocks with a market capitalization ranging from Rs 5,000 crore to Rs 25,000 crore.

So, there you have it, a curated list of mid-cap stocks with exciting potential, spanning various sectors and handpicked using a rigorous selection process.
