Like it or not, you need to be tactical to tackle tariff-led volatility; 6 FMCG stocks with an upside potential up to 32%
We have a US president creating a New World Order. So, by no stretch of imagination are we in conventional times. And unconventional times require unconventional solutions. While we believe in the power of long-term investing, the fact is that there are times when you need to be tactical. Or just stay out of equities. Consider this: If the Chinese dump of steel and other metals, it would make sense to stay away from metal stocks. But if you are moving out of metals, where do you put your money? Maybe sectors where dumping cannot happen, where a certain amount of growth is inevitable, and where there is no fear of tariffs. So, prepare for a tactical play.

And that depends on two factors: One, how long the runway for growth is for a business. And two, how capable is the management in dealing with uncertain times.
8 essential oral hygiene tips for a healthier smile
Beyond buying, selling, and panic; sometimes, just ‘hold’ stocks: 17 large-caps with an upside potential of up to 49%
While markets are largely about buying and selling, wealth creation is about holding stocks. Today, when you see the Nifty and Sensex trading with a cut of more than 5%, the chances are you may end up selling a winner and a good business in panic. There is no point in trying to guess when this correction will end. It might end today, or it may continue for some more time. You have no control over global events, but you can control your own actions. And sometimes no action is the best action. Don’t look at the value of your portfolio every evening. It may lead you to either buy or sell at a time when both should be avoided. And for a good reason.

Understand one thing clearly. A rise in a company’s stock price does not mean the business is strong. And a fall in stock price does not mean the business is weak. The ability to make a distinction between the stock price and the business and its growth path when everyone is bearish is what is needed to make that extra return from the stock market. On our list today are companies where the business is fine. It is just that the narrative has turned bad, and that too not on the business but on the stock price front. Remember: Stock prices are controlled by liquidity and business is governed by the economy.

When 2024 dawned, the bulls were ruling and it appeared nothing could go wrong with the stock markets. Did the year end the same way? Now, three months into 2025, it appears as if nothing right can happen. So, it’s good to know that even when the bulls are in control, you can never write off the bears. What gives bears the biggest fuel is any global currency market adjustment. So, always keep one eye on the currency markets. That is where you will see minimum absolute volatility but maximum relative volatility. The first hint of change will come from the Dollar Index. As when there is a reversal, the first tranche of money is likely to flow to bluechips. So have them on your watch list and stop getting influenced by the short-term movement of prices.
These large- and mid-cap stocks can give more than 30% return in 1 year, according to analysts
Around this time last year, both policymakers and regulators were worrying about the froth building up in the mid-cap space. A slew of measures were announced to curb the flow of excessive money into both mid- and small-caps stocks. The expectation was that it would stem the flow and cool things down. But the overall flow, at least to the mid-cap mutual funds, continues to be the same. The last few weeks of correction has, however, brought retail participation down. So, it is not the regulator but prices which determine how much money will flow and what it will chase. At this juncture, the valuation differential between large- and mid-caps have narrowed. Will the trend continue? Or will there be a churn?

Toothbrush covers useful or harmful? Dentists explain
At times underperformance of capital employed on the Street is better than capital erosion: 6 FMCG stocks with upside potential between 16 to 31%
It might appear odd to look at a sector that on the business side is facing headwinds and on the stock market front has been underperforming. But sometimes the rationale goes against owning a set of stocks when a bull run is just starting, the same rationale is applicable for buying the same set of stocks when there is a high risk of a correction in stock markets or when a correction has already started. The logic is that there are times when it is more important to focus on capital preservation even if it is coming at the cost of some under-performance of the capital employed in the short term. The way markets have corrected on Wednesday, it is very clear that bears are around the corner to clear the froth on the street. There is enough evidence to show that when bears are back on the street, they are not able to harm companies and sectors where even if valuations are not cheap the balance sheets and core business are strong. So, it is probably time to bring these old war horses back on the watch list.
