Stock picks of the week: 5 stocks with consistent score improvement and upside potential of up to 28%

More than the Nifty and Sensex, it is positive market breadth which reflects the street’s underlying optimism. A part of this is probably thanks to the statement over the weekend indicating a possible thaw in the India-US relationship which has been in the freezer for some time. Also, the street has started to build in a bullish start to festive season sales. There is, of course, nothing wrong in being bullish, but keep your expectations in check and be nimble-footed at this point of time. Our selected stocks for today depict a strong upward trajectory in their overall average score which is based on five key pillars: Earnings, fundamentals, relative valuation, risk, and price momentum. This implies that there has been a significant improvement in their market outlook in the given time frame.
