Stock picks of the week: 5 stocks with consistent score improvement and upside potential of up to 52%

Whether the market is in the grip of bulls or bears, investors need to be cautious and selective. And when the street is bearish, be careful not to get caught up in short-term narratives and sell at the wrong time. Also, to avoid the urge to average out. While the worst is probably over in the current correction phase, there is a new US administration set to take over and the global markets may still see a readjustment. As an investor, look at sectors and companies in terms of their operating and valuation matrices. If the operating matrix is improving, that’s good. Our list of stocks 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.
