Stocks to BUY: With the market finding its feet after a volatile few sessions, Sharekhan has picked these seven stocks it believes are well placed to outperform over the next 12 months, even as the broader market navigates sharp swings triggered by a weakening rupee, persistent FII outflows and mixed global cues. The brokerage said the underlying sentiment remains constructive with the Nifty scaling past 26,000 again, and pointed to opportunities in PFC, Coromandel International, Zydus Wellness, Samhi Hotels, Varun Beverages, ITC and LTTS. According to Sharekhan, these companies combine strong earnings visibility with healthy balance sheets and favourable sector momentum, offering up to 51 per cent upside from current levels. The brokerage noted that while volatility may continue in the near term, domestic fundamentals remain supportive, particularly in power financing, consumption-linked businesses, hospitality recovery and engineering R&D services. Below is a list of the brokerage’s outlook and target prices:
