Several brokerages are bullish on a number of stocks from different sectors, such as banking, financial, and FMCG. Trendlyne data shows that 6 S&P BSE Largecap stocks, including HDFC Bank, Bajaj Finance, and HUL have high analyst ratings and can deliver up to 35% returns. Here's a list of these stocks
These largecaps have ‘strong buy’ and ‘buy’ recos with upside potential of over 20%
While it might be a bit early to say, but the way things have panned in last couple of weeks, it is clear that bulls are not in any mood to leave the street anytime, but at the same time bears are also clear that while they will not be able to make much dent on NIfty, so they better roam in mid-cap segment. How long they will be able to roam if broader market indices are doing well is something which is still to be seen. But one thing is for sure as corrections and consolidation are part of every bull market we will continue to see them at regular levels. ET screener powered by Refinitiv’s Stock Report Plus lists down quality stocks with high upside potential over the next 12 months, having an average recommendation rating of “buy” or "strong buy".

Even for long-term investors, putting more checks and balances is the key: 4 largecap stocks with upside potential of up to 26%
While Nifty and Sensex have seen some respite and given the fact that few mega stocks have the ability to push indices even higher, one cannot rule out the possibility of reading the headlines “ nifty forms a new high” very soon. But as we have seen in the recent past, what nifty does and what is happening in the broader market can be very different. So, it would be better to focus on what is happening in sectors and companies, are there some tailwinds that are likely to lead to better overall growth of the sector and hence the companies. Even in those sectors stick with companies that have a proven track record of surviving economic cycles and on financial parameters they are better placed than others. Because it is finally the earnings which will determine whether the stock is able to outperform or underperform broader market indices. We take a look at four stocks where on two parameters, that is net margins and return on equity, the companies are clearly better placed and there are clear sectoral tailwinds.
Stay with companies with some tailwinds: 5 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside scope of up to 50%
When it comes to volatility, there are four things that one needs to take into account. First, the magnitude of volatility, frequency of volatile movement, sectors that are leading it, and overall market breadth during a volatile phase. If one takes all of these into account, the nifty has been able to inch upward but the fact that market breadth is still not clear is the hurdle rate. There is a high probability that we might see more of it in the coming weeks. So, it would be better to stay prepared for volatility. One of the ways for that would be to stay with large caps, this does not mean they will not face the heat, but over the medium to long term they would be the first ones to bounce back and if one looks at what has happened in last two trading session, it is the largecap which is leading the rally. So, in times of volatility which has come due to valuation readjustment, it would be better to stick with large caps and that too companies where there are some tailwinds of either policy or restructuring of the company.
Volatility never gives notice before coming: 5 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 29%
It is after a long period of time, that one can see corrections not in absolute terms but also the fact that when global markets are rising Indian markets have not been able to move higher. Once again on wednesday, there was minor intraday up move in nifty, but the mid cap continued to stay under pressure. Being the last month of the financial year, liquidity during this period tends to be tight. So there's a chance that the midcap segment which is sitting on gains is likely to stay under pressure for some more time. In such times, there is no full proof way, but putting some filter would help at least in avoiding some mistakes. So, staying with the large caps segment, in that too staying with some segment sectors where the tailwind of either policy push or any other would be a better choice. We look at the stocks which have seen an improvement in analysts in the last one month which has been a volatile period for the market.
While the markets have been correcting for some time, the pain of correction has been being felt more in the last three to four weeks. The reason, extremely negative market breadth and that too in the mid-cap segment. Until recently, corrections did not appear to be very obvious because one or the other sector kept witnessing sharp up moves and the whole focus of the market went there. So, sometimes it was railways stocks, sometimes power PSUs which keep the noise levels high. The reality is that corrections come and go, the only thing any investor needs to make sure of is that in any corrective phase, bias when making fresh investment should be toward large cap stocks as there is a possibility that they would see less damage in corrections which are stronger in nature due to global or macro developments.

Diversify the risks even in largecap segment: 5 largecap stocks with upside potential of 25-33%
After a brutal correction, at an index level we can see some respite. But at the broader market levels, there are clear signs that valuations are still a concern. So, it might be too premature to call that the risk of overall high valuations leading to more time wise correction is over. There are questions at this point of time which need to be addressed. First, what does one do with existing investments? Second, which set of stocks one should look at if one is making if one is planning to put in fresh money? The answer to the first question, move out of stocks where fundamentals are in doubt and stocks price have just moved up because of liquidity which was rolling on the street. For the second one, stick to large caps and even in that diversify exposure to different sectors. Don't over expose oneself to one sector as one headwind in a sector can take away gains. Last but not least, stick to companies with certain level of Return on Equity (ROE), Return on Capital Employed (ROCE), and company debt levels should not be overlooked
Today despite the fact that the nifty heavyweights are trading in green territory, nifty is still trading just moving close to the red territory. This along with a negative market breadth is clearly indicating that finally a phase of profit booking has come. There is a high probability that this corrective phase may continue further. Because the valuation differential in large and mid cap had increased very sharply, there is more probability of a mean revision trade taking place. It might be better for have a bias toward looking at large cap when investing fresh money.
Learn to live with volatility: 5 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 32%
On days like Yesterday, when bears don't make any distinction between large or mid or small cap stocks they just crush everything, it might appear that there is no point in making a distinction between these segments of the market. But the fact is it is a day like yesterday which is a reminder of many basic things which one should remember before taking any investment decision in equity. First and foremost, after buying a stock you will own a business and what business you own is more important than what is happening to nifty or any other indices. Second, if you are a real long term investor then days like Wednesday should not bother you as they have come in the past and they will come in future also. What one should look for is whether the underlying business is witnessing any change or not and whether that change is positive or negative for the business. Last but not the least, do your homework before investing and not after investing.
Stay bullish but just be more selective: 5 midcap stocks from different sectors with potential upside of up to 41%
If one goes by what is happening on the street today, we probably are once again going back to a situation where mid-caps are charting their own journey and bulls are backing it. While the valuations are expensive, there is no point in fighting with liquidity, if it is going to mid caps and they are moving up irrespective of valuations or quality of stocks one cannot argue. But the only thing which as an investor one can do is to be careful when taking exposure to this segment of the market. Stay away from stocks where there is a narrative of stocks doing well that are not backed by fundamentals and track record. If the market stays like this, very soon once again there will be no dearth of tips floating in whatsapp groups and telegram channels. But there is enough evidence in history to show that finally it is earnings and valuations which decide what would be the price of stock price and clues about earnings come from just two things, sector and the management. So, focus on the sector and the quality and ability of management.

These largecaps have ‘strong buy’ and ‘buy’ recos with upside potential of over 20%
After a long period of time, bears are seeming confident. How long they will be able to roam on the street is the question for which answers are being sought. For that it would be better to focus on why the correction is taking place. Whether there is just a profit booking after a long phase of out performance or there are any headwinds which the economy is either facing or is likely to face. The answer is very clear that this phase of profit booking and there are no headwinds, in fact there are more tailwinds of clear policy making. This is not to say that this corrective phase will not continue further, if there is any increase in oil prices, there might be some short term pressure, but the long term story stays intact.

Time for tactical investing: 5 stocks from 2 most unwanted sectors, but with very strong balance sheets
There is an age old saying on Dalal street, when stocks stop reacting to bad news, it means that bears have run out of ammunition and probably it is time to look at them. Similarly when stocks stop reacting to positive news, probably bulls will not be having a say in the near term. At this point of time, there is an interesting phenomenon which is playing out. While at the overall market basis, it appears that bulls may not have much to say in near term. But at the same time, there are two sectors, which have been getting bombarded with bad news for the last two years. Whether it is macro or micro, news or opinion, literally everything which has been said about them is either negative or at best neutral. But if one looks at price action on the counters on any bad news or even brokerage downgrades which is essentially an opinion stock prices are refusing to fall. Historically one of these two sectors were considered defensive,as stocks from this sector tend to outperform in bearish markets. So, is it the time to go against the narrative of negative news and get them on the watch list?
Stock picks of the week: 4 stocks with consistent score improvement and upside potential of up to 38 %
After remaining under pressure for the first three weeks of March, there was some recovery at least in the broader market indices in the last two trading sessions of FY 24. It might be too early to call it a recovery, because if one looks at the market breadth, while it was positive, the way it cracked in the last one hour of trade indicates that a part of the market is still very much witnessing profit booking. So, it would be worthwhile to get more confirmation about bulls getting back to different corners of the street. In such times, it would be better to stay with stocks where there has been improvement in score due to one or the other reason. These selected stocks depict a strong upward trajectory in their overall average score which is based on five key pillars i.e. 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.
Rs 16,600-cr worth block deals take place this week; Mankind Pharma, Shriram Finance see significant action
In the largecap segment, 15 companies witnessed significant block deals.
These 3 sectors had a blast in a tentative March month. What to look forward to?
If we look at the overall year, it was a rewarding period for Indian investors, where large caps rallied substantial 33%, midcaps surged by 56%, and small caps excelled with an impressive 63%, as indicated by the respective indices.
Today because the nifty is trading in the red territory, the word correction might be heard on the street but the fact is that for the last many weeks, there has been a correction which has been taking place on the street. That correction did not appear to be very obvious because one or the other sector kept witnessing sharp up moves and the whole focus of the market went there. So, sometimes it was railways stocks, sometimes power PSUs which keep the noise levels high. The good part is that such kind of sectoral corrections are indicative of underlying bullishness and these corrections are part of any bull run. The only thing any investor needs to make sure is that in any corrective phase, bias when making fresh investment should be toward large cap stocks as there is a possibility that they would see less damage in corrections which are stronger in nature due to global or macro developments.

Risks are of different kinds: The ‘market risk’ and ‘unnecessary self-created anxiety risks’; avoid the latter by checking little yet critical things
In a fortnight where smallcaps were the worst performers and large investors are counting on how much losses their smallcap portfolio have incurred. There are still some die-hard small fans who would be looking to invest in small caps and there is nothing wrong in investing in small caps even in mayhem if one is sure of holding it for the next three to five years. The only thing that needs to be ensured is that one should understand that there is a difference between a good business and a bad business even in the small, mid and largecap segments. There is a difference in the absolute value of the stock and the value of the company. There are some businesses that will remain small but are so niche that they will still make wealth for you if you hold them for some time. But if your definition of smallcap stocks is a stock that is quoting at below Rs 20 or an X amount and the reason you want to buy that stock is because you are hoping your money will grow by ten times, then forget small, mid or large, the stock market is not a place where you will make a return, the only thing you will get is unnecessary anxiety.
To take care of possible headwinds: 4 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 37%
Market has a strange habit of giving surprises on both sides, moving up when no one is expecting and news is bad all around. Falling when no one is expecting it to fall and there is good news all around. So, in today’s time when there is good news all around, right from higher GDP numbers to better GST collections and on micro front companies announcing more orders and even words like expansion of capacity coming back, instead of predicting the time when there will be a correction, just be ready for it. Ready by staying with large caps and that too with sectors and stocks where some tailwinds are emerging. This is not to say that there cannot be some underperformance in large cap space, but the fact is that over the long term these large caps not only create much more wealth but in a bearish phase, they tend to protect the wealth by falling less as compared to mid and small caps.

Preparing for volatility is better than suffering it: 5 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside scope of up to 22%
Last week two noticeable things happened in the market, first a sharp correction in mid-cap stocks and then on Friday sudden sharp recovery which was led by large cap stocks. To some it might appear what is noticeable in this ? This has happened many times in the last one year. The only difference is that it happened in the backdrop of the fact that even regulators are getting worried about what is happening to mid and small cap space and there has been an advisory. To the uninitiated, regulatory advisory tends to work in equity markets. This essentially means the probability of higher incremental flows to large cap stocks. Second, the kind of stocks which led the up move on Friday, it appears Nifty may do some catching up with mid and small cap indices in coming months. We take a look at stocks where even in large cap space, the broader financial matrix is better placed and sectors have one or the other tailwinds. This is not to say that if these stocks cannot see a correction, only higher probability of outperforming in strong correction. Yes, only higher probability.

For a volatile market: 6 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 33%
When it comes to volatility, there are 3 things that one needs to take into account. Magnitude of volatility, frequency of volatile movement, and third which are the sectors leading it and overall market breadth during a volatile phase. If one looks at these three things then it is very clear that while some might be feeling volatility has come in just the last two trading sessions, the fact is that markets have been volatile since the start of 2024. There is a high probability that we might see more of it in the coming weeks. So, it would be better to stay prepared for volatility. One of the ways for that would be to stay with largecaps, and especially the ones showing a streak of outperformance at a time when others have been under pressure. Another reason valuations are high in large part of the mid and small caps and they are the ones that might lose more weight if the markets stay under pressure due to profit booking. Also if there is any further development on the SEBI advisory to mutual funds, the unintended beneficiary would be largecap stocks.
Stock picks of the week: 4 stocks with consistent score improvement and upside potential of up to 33%
Besides the hit which nifty and sensex have taken, what is more important is that there are more declines than advances and that is largely due to market breadth in the mid-cap segment. This is indicative of continued profit booking happening at the broader market level. At this point of time, one cannot rule out more profit booking which can bring more damage to stock prices in the mid-cap segment. In such times, if one is taking fresh exposure to equity, ensure that there is some level of quality as far as the business and fundamentals are concerned. These selected stocks depict a strong upward trajectory in their overall average score which is based on five key pillars i.e. 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.
Better options in volatile markets: 5 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 31%
Volatility never gives notice before coming and again on Monday, it did not give one. The difference is that this time the impact of volatility was felt by more investors and traders. There are two probable reasons, list of top loser on Monday was dominated by PSU stocks which have been the best performing set of stocks in last few weeks and that all those who only recently realized that there is something called PSU and jumped on the bandwagon are probably looking at their phone and saying why have their portfolio has fallen so hard. Second, the overall market breadth was extremely bad which means more portfolios got hit. There is a high probability that volatile movement in broader markets might continue for some time, So, it would be better to stay prepared for volatility. One of the ways for that would be to stay with large caps and especially the ones which have shown streak of outperformance at a time when other large caps have been under pressure.
For volatile market conditions: 4 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 33%
Once again on wednesday, there was minor correction in nifty, but more tremors were felt in the mid-cap part of the market. While it might be too early to call it even a corrective move, because this could be due to profit booking just before the expiry of the weekly option contract today. But because volatility never gives notice before coming, it is better to be prepared for it, by staying with a set of stocks which have a higher probability when a storm hits the street. While there is no full proof way, putting some filter would help at least in avoiding some mistakes. So, staying with the large caps segment, in that too staying with sectors where the market size is big and as is likely to grow at a certain rate due to basic nature of the business, then looking if the analyst score has moved higher in the last one week which has been a volatile period for the market.
Tailwinds of policy push: 5 largecap PSU stocks from different sectors with an upside potential of up to 32%
While there are clear signs of large cap stocks making a comeback on the street, it is reflected both in movement of Nifty sensex. The problem is that as a word the “large cap” is so open ended and we keep seeing stocks moving in and out of that category which are the ones which one should focus on. If one looks at the last six months of the stock market moves, a new industrial house appears to be born and has caught the fancy of the street. Yes, we are talking about PSU as a set of companies. It is not owned by one individual but by the government of India so there is an element of the largest shareholder being one entity and that is why it may be called a new industrial house. Beside the ownership another common thread running in these companies is the impact of the clean up and restructuring of policy framework which has come in different sectors and in these companies in particular. So there is high probability and yes only high probability of these stocks doing relatively better in stormy conditions on the street.
It’s time for smallcaps and midcaps to take a break as largecaps are ready for revenge
Investors should keep a watch on companies that are fundamentally strong with healthy growth prospects.
At a time when nifty is moving in and out of green territory, it would be better to add one more parameter to watch, that is market breadth.There are clear signs of profit booking taking place in the broader market with market breadth not being as positive as it used to be. While the initial part of any volatility is led by large caps, there is a higher probability that the large caps are able to stabilize much before any part of the market.So, if one is thinking of fresh exposure to the market it would be better to stick with large caps as they are likely to outperform as and when we see return of FPI flows.

Advantage of large market size or annuity: 4 largecap stocks from different sectors with an upside potential of up to 22%
There are some sectors where the macro structure is such that for one or the other reasons the overall growth is higher. This is not to say that growth comes without phases of slowdown, but when tailwinds come they are able to take care of all the slowdown and over a period of time, growth is much better. So, at times valuations are high, take exposure to stocks and sectors where at least there is high probability of growth ensuring that over a period of time, valuations get normalized. When we talk of market size it is not only India but in some cases global markets also. Second, look at business that is bound to grow as markets expand and every transaction brings in some money to the topline and industry structure is such that cost does not grow in the same proportion leading to higher and stable margins.
For volatile market conditions: 5 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 25%
One day up, another day down and there is no dearth of explanation for each move of the market. After a strong run up, stock prices are bound to see some correction and the markets are likely to be volatile. First phase of volatility is always led by large caps as they have high institutional holdings. But over the long term, they tend to outperform and the drawdown is lower as compared to mid and small caps. So, at times large caps might optically appear to be underperforming and that may be an opportunity to look at some stocks with a long term perspective.
In the last year, the differential in valuation between, mid and largecap stocks has increased very sharply. This differential is even more striking given the fact it has come even in spaces like private sectors which have been getting premium valuation for decades. If the market remains under the control of bulls there is a probability that over the next few quarters, markets may see a mean reversion. It might happen both ways, midcap witnessing some profit booking and large caps doing relatively well in the corrective phase of the markets. The first indications of that appear to be already in place with some largecap companies from the manufacturing space doing well.

It was after a long period that we saw the stock of Reliance leading the rally in the market. Why this becomes significant is because of the sheer m-cap of the company. Is it the first signal of the return of largecaps or it is because the street is expecting some positive developments in the green energy space will become clear in the next couple of sessions. Some of the banks also made a comeback after drubbing last week. Given the possibility of correction, it would be better to stick with large caps.

For volatile market conditions: 5 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 24%
Volatility never gives notice before coming so one should always be prepared for it. Another point to be watched, if the frequency of the volatile phase increases and it starts to happen every other fortnight, it might be an indication of strong headwinds. For a large number of investors, volatility is only when mid-cap stocks correct. But the problem is that by the time they feel the heat of the correction the price damage is very high. So, it would be better to stay prepared for volatility. One of the ways for that would be to stay with large caps and especially the ones which have shown streak of outperformance at a time when other large caps have been under pressure. Another reason for staying with large caps is that valuations are high in large part of the mid and small caps and they are the ones which might lose more weight if the markets stay under pressure due to profit booking.

Old boys yet new kids: 4 largecap stocks which meet parameters for long-term investing
Given the trend of short correction and sharp recovery which the market and especially Nifty has seen in the last few months, it appears that nothing can go wrong with the stock price. But there are enough examples from the recent past and also the long history of markets that most wrong investment decisions are made in these times. if one is thinking about increasing the exposure it would be better to stay with large caps. This is not to say that one would not be wrong in buying large caps but as they would be able to weather any storm which might emerge due to any reason, the damage would be controlled. Even in the large cap category stay with stocks, which dont find place in headlines very often but on many parameters are better than well known names and in fact their performance in the last one year is indicative that even the street is in mood to recognize them.

While the recent up move in large caps has made them cover some of the differential which has developed in the valuations between mid and large stocks. If one looks at the long term average, there is still a scope of mean reversion. It might happen in both ways, mid-cap witnessing some profit booking and large caps doing relatively well in the corrective phase of the markets.

For a large majority of investors, when the word “ large cap” is used , it is stocks like HDFC bank, ICICI and other big names come to mind. The fact is that these stocks have moved into the mega cap category. There is another set of stocks which have now entered into large cap territory when it comes to market capitalisation but in terms of certain aspects of business, some of these are from sectors which are getting discovered or getting re-rated as if they are mid-cap stocks. Having exposure to them might appear to be risky, but then the possibility of reward is higher as more institutional investors take exposure to them.

Maruti Suzuki, Grasim Industries among 5 largecap stocks that hit fresh 52-week highs on Thursday
Indian shares fell intra-day on Thursday, dragged by financials and energy stocks, as profit booking continued for the second day after a six-session rally. However, in Thursday's trade, five largecap stocks from the Nifty200 index hit new 52-week highs. Here's the list:
While the under current of the market is still bullish but as corrections and consolidation are part of every bull market, nifty is moving in and out green, there are clear signs of profit booking taking place in the broader market with market breadth not being as positive as it used to be. While the initial part of any volatility is led by large caps, there is a higher probability that the large caps are able to stabilize much before any part of the market. So, if one is thinking of fresh exposure to the market it would be better to stick with large caps.

MF holding in Zomato increased by a sharp 71 million shares month-on-month (MoM) in December, according to a report by PhillipCapital. Shares of the online food delivery aggregator have rallied nearly 19% since December.
Given the fact that the differential between, mid and large cap stocks has increased very sharply in the last one year, especially in the last nine months. If the market remains under the control of bulls there is a probability that over the next few quarters markets may see a mean reversion. It might happen in both ways, mid-cap witnessing some profit booking and large caps doing relatively well in the corrective phase of the markets.

Better option for long-term investors: 4 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 25%
Volatility never gives notice before coming, the way year 2024 has started, there is high probability that we might see more of it in coming weeks. So, it would be better to stay prepared for volatility. One of the ways for that would be to stay with large caps and especially the ones which have shown streak of outperformance at a time when other large caps have been under pressure. Another reason valuations are high in large part of the mid and small caps and in such times it is better to stay with large caps where relative valuations have not seen a very sharp bump up in the last one year.
IRFC, Bharti Airtel among 6 largecap stocks that outperformed Nifty50
Indian equity markets declined on Thursday, dragged by IT stocks following disappointing results from Tech Mahindra and as financial stocks continued to drop.

Budget Special: These 8 largecap stocks have turned multibaggers since the last Budget
For all seasons : 4 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 29%
For a large number of investors, volatility is something which is determined by what happened to the nifty by the end of the day and they associate it with decline in indices. But there is more to it, on Tuesday, because there was a decline, it might appear to be volatile. But the fact is on wednesday because Nifty and Sensex recovered and gained back the losses, these two days together make it a volatile market. The reason to bring this upfront is that when valuations are high and the market turns volatile, the cut on the individual stock prices can be much higher. So, if one is increasing the exposure to stock, it might be better to stick to large cap stocks as stronger balance sheets tend to weather the storm better and then perform when the market gets into bullish mode.
90% of the market overvalued except very largecap stocks: Sanjeev Prasad
Sanjeev Prasad says: “Probably 90% of the market is overvalued. While the very largecap names seem to be more reasonably valued, as we go down the market cap quality and risk curve, the extent of overvaluation keeps on increasing and you cannot even understand what is happening in some of the midcap and smallcap stocks.”
Benefit of multiple tailwinds: 6 largecap stocks from different sectors with right ROE and upside potential of up to 24%
At a time when it is not possible to find stocks that can be called “fairly valued” and forget “undervalued”, but the sentiment continues to be bullish, it is tough for retail investors to control their desire to buy stocks. The fact is that this market has been in an overvalued zone for quite some time, but as they say, liquidity and sentiment can ensure that market remains in that zone for longer than anyone expects. So, for investors, it would be wise to take exposure to stocks, where a sector the overall market size is very big or the sector has reached an inflection point where the market size will grow or they have an income stream that has an element of annuity. The reason why this strategy works is that even if the valuations are expensive at the time of buying stocks, steady growth in the industry helps in normalizing the valuations of individual stocks.
For possible volatile markets: 4 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 26%
After a minor corrective phase, while the mid and small caps are once again in party mode, large caps have been lagging in a relative manner. But investing in not about a quarter or week, it is much more than them. If one looks at the long term, large caps are able to outperform and create wealth in a more sustainable manner. So probably a short phase of underperformance due to the fact that everyone is chasing short term performance due to recency bias might be an opportunity to look at some stocks with a long term perspective.

How does one prepare for it, by sticking with large cap companies and that too one where there are some tailwinds for the business which will help them do better as compared to others in fundamental ways not just the prices way.
IT largecap stocks not in overbought zone after Friday’s rally: Anand James
Largecap IT stocks, including Infosys and Tech Mahindra, have not yet reached overbought levels despite recent gains. Smallcap stocks have seen the most visible gains in the last year.

Businesses which have seen many seasons ? 4 largecap manufacturing stocks with right PEG ratio

There are two kinds of risk in equity markets, first the overall market or asset class risk and second is individual risk. First risk is not under control of anyone, because it can hit the market due to any reason, right from any geopolitical uncertainty to any monetary event in any part of the world. But the second risk which is individual risk is about the choice of the stock which one buys. Now this risk is higher at a time when valuations are high and it appears that nothing can go wrong with the stock price. But there are enough examples from the recent past and also the long history of markets that most wrong investment decisions are made in these times. if One is thinking about increasing the exposure it would be better to stay with large caps. This is not to say that one would not be wrong in buying large caps but as they would be able to weather any storm which might emerge due to any reason, the damage would be controlled.
