5 Stocks To Buy For Long Term: Brokerage sees up to 43% upside — HCL Tech, V2 Retail, PFC on the list

V2 Retail operates in the value fashion segment, focusing largely on tier-2 and tier-3 cities where demand for affordable, trendy apparel continues to grow. The company caters primarily to the middle and neo-middle-class consumer and has steadily expanded its store network across smaller towns. According to Sharekhan, rising footfalls, improved store productivity and disciplined expansion support revenue visibility over the coming years. The brokerage expects the company’s operating leverage to improve as scale increases. At the current market price of Rs 2,211, Sharekhan has a Buy rating on the stock with a target price of Rs 2,810, implying an upside of around 27 per cent. The stock has already delivered a 32 per cent return in 2025, with a 52-week high of Rs 2,572 and a low of Rs 1,398.

Supreme Industries is one of India’s largest plastic processing companies, with a strong presence across PVC and CPVC piping systems, plastic furniture and industrial packaging products. The brokerage sees the company as a key beneficiary of sustained infrastructure spending and housing-related demand. A strong brand, a diversified product portfolio and an extensive distribution network position Supreme Industries well for long-term growth. Sharekhan believes the ongoing correction in the stock presents a buying opportunity, given its exposure to structural consumption and infrastructure themes. At a current price of Rs 3,405, the brokerage has assigned a Buy rating with a target of Rs 4,445, indicating a potential upside of 31 per cent. The stock is down about 29 per cent in 2025, after touching a 52-week high of Rs 5,153 and a low of Rs 3,032.

HCL Technologies remains one of India’s leading global IT services players, with strengths across cloud, digital transformation, data, AI and engineering services. Sharekhan notes that strong deal wins, improving execution and a growing focus on AI-led solutions are helping sustain revenue visibility despite near-term macro challenges. The brokerage believes HCL Tech’s balanced client mix and improving margins make it a relatively defensive pick within the IT sector. At a current market price of Rs 1,651, HCL Technologies carries a Buy rating with a target price of Rs 1,850, suggesting an upside of around 12 per cent. The stock has gained 8 per cent so far in 2025, with a 52-week range between Rs 2,011 and Rs 1,304.

Satin Creditcare Network is a leading microfinance-focused NBFC, catering primarily to women borrowers in rural and semi-urban regions. Sharekhan highlights that the company’s diversified product mix, improving collections and gradual normalisation of asset quality are supporting a recovery in profitability. While the sector has faced stress in recent quarters, the brokerage believes Satin’s conservative underwriting approach and focus on financial inclusion position it well for sustainable growth. At a current price of Rs 141, Sharekhan has maintained a Buy rating with a target of Rs 201, implying a potential upside of nearly 43 per cent, the highest among its picks. The stock is down 8 per cent in 2025, with a 52-week high of Rs 176 and a low of Rs 131.

Power Finance Corporation (PFC) is a Maharatna public sector NBFC and a key financier of India’s power sector, spanning generation, transmission and distribution projects. Over time, the company has also expanded into non-power infrastructure segments such as roads, metro projects, electric mobility and renewable energy. Sharekhan sees PFC as a relatively defensive long-term play, supported by strong net interest margins, high capital adequacy and increasing exposure to green energy financing. At the current market price of Rs 336, the brokerage has a Buy rating on the stock with a target price of Rs 465, indicating an upside of around 38 per cent. The stock has declined 26 per cent in 2025, with a 52-week high of Rs 513 and a low of Rs 335.
