During this period, ICICI Securities identified some resilient outperformers, which rise more during market upsides, and fall less during downtrends.
Who are resilient outperformers?
"We define resilient outperformers as stocks/indices that have outperformed in at least half of the instances, both during the upmoves as well as the down moves of the market. Also, the stock/index should have outperformed the NIFTY50 over the entire period under study (since Mar’20) to qualify as a resilient outperformer," says the brokerage.
The stock should be part of F&O list for fulfilling the criteria of ample liquidity, it says.
Within the NSE100, 18 stocks have qualified on the above ‘resilient outperformer’ criteria.
As per the brokerage, cyclical and capital-intensive sectors (industrials, energy, metals, selectively financials & discretionary consumption) along with export-oriented stocks (IT, pharma, chemicals, etc.) are the most resilient outperformers. On the basis of investment style, mid/small caps have emerged as resilient outperformers.
Largely, resilient outperformer stocks are from conglomerates (energy, retail, telecom), metals, energy, retail, industrials, financials and exporters (IT services, pharma, chemical).

Important stocks among resilient outperformers include names such as Reliance Industries, SBI, Infosys, Larsen & Toubro, Bajaj Finserv, Titan Industries, Sun Pharma, ONGC, Adani Ports, Tata Steel and Grasim.
