Amid a more than 2% drop in the Nifty this month due to Middle East tensions and foreign investor outflows, InCred Equities has selected 11 stocks expected to perform well in the coming quarters. The recommendations come as India faces higher crude oil prices, given its import of nearly 90% of its oil needs. All stocks receive an 'Add' rating with target prices implying various upside potentials.
The Indian stock market has experienced volatility, with the Nifty index declining over 2% this month. This downturn is linked to escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and ongoing foreign institutional investor (FII) outflows.
