These large- and mid-cap stocks can give more than 48% return in 1 year, according to analysts

It is not often that the stock market heads to the Union budget with the kind of correction it has seen in recent months. Normally, there are more expectations. This time, however, there is not much expectation, which is probably a good thing. If one looks at post-budget market performance of the past, there have been times when large-caps have underperformed while mid-caps have outperformed. There have also been times when mid-caps have come under pressure and large-caps were able to show relatively better performance. In this context, it would probably be better to have a combination of both large- and mid-cap stocks in your portfolio. Another important factor: Diversification is the key.
