Late last week and early part of this week, the fall in the market was led by a few largecap IT stocks. The reasons, once again there are fears that as the Q4 earning season comes closer, large IT companies would be announcing lackluster results with no great guidance for FY 25. While the probability of that happening cannot be ruled out, the question is whether these all things have been built in the underperformance of the stocks. Stock Reports Plus, powered by Refinitiv, is a comprehensive research report that evaluates five key components of 4,000+ listed stocks - earnings, fundamentals, relative valuation, risk and price momentum to generate standardized scores.
Once again bulls have shown that while bears have the right to make a comeback attempt, bulls who have ruled the street for the last three years are in no mood to give up easily. That was reflected in improved market breadth even though nifty and sensex had been only moving in range bound mode. While the recent performance has been good, given the valuations, it would be better to be selectively bullish and put more checks and balances both in terms of quantitative and qualitative parameters while looking at stocks.
