For investors with some patience: 6 mid-cap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 20%
The world is facing challenges and India is no different. The fact is that, in today’s world, managements that have lived through such crises and emerged with a stronger business deserve closer attention. Their performance is less likely to be the product of a favourable cycle. Which is why one should not go by initial impressions.
Time to take a little risk with a 1- to 2-year perspective? 5 mid-cap stocks from different sectors with upside potential up to 20%
When the big picture is a coin-toss, why waste time on predictions? What is the big picture? Well, nobody knows. Anyone who says with confidence where crude, or the tariff talks, or the monsoon, or earnings may land over the next few months (or quarters, for earnings) is just guessing. We are not saying that they are lying, but guessing. It is the guessing part that needs to be avoided at this point of time.
ET Prime Special Series: Multibagger or IBC - Part 68: Is this company, part of a southern group, getting simpler, or more complicated?
A business can trace its manufacturing history to 1962, yet sit inside a listed company incorporated only in 2017. That is only the first complication. It has sold a large part of its older two-wheeler exposure, commissioned a new manufacturing complex, and used land-sale proceeds to reduce debt. FY26 margins improved even as reported revenue declined. But an asset-sale gain lifted profit, while an overseas subsidiary reported a loss. The investment debate is no longer about legacy alone. It is about portfolio quality, overseas execution, and hidden working-capital funding.

For long-term investors: Look beyond strength of balance sheet; 5 stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 31%
Even a couple of months ago, any flare-up between the US and Iran in the Gulf region would have seen two things happening: A spike in crude oil prices, and a market reaction that was sharply negative. Today, while crude oil prices are up, they are only inching up, not spiking. And the Indian market, while displaying occasional volatility, has been holding its own. So, it might be a good time to pick some stocks; but only if you are very selective and target resilient companies with some moat.
2026's biggest trap is Rs 1 lakh monthly salary? 3 reasons why this income level can be a danger for your career's future
A viral Instagram video by content creator Nidhi Kushwaha has sparked a debate after she called a Rs 1 lakh monthly salary the "most dangerous salary" to earn in 2026. According to her, the income offers enough financial comfort to make people stop taking risks, chasing bigger goals and pushing themselves to grow. While many users agreed that comfort can lead to complacency, others argued that success is not defined only by earning more money and that Rs 1 lakh is no longer a high salary in many Indian cities due to rising living costs.

This is how a company tricks you into thinking it's bigger than it is in reality
Revenue is not always the amount written on the invoice. The final number can change because of rebates, returns, penalties, warranties, customer incentives, or long credit periods where part of the amount is actually interest. Revenue can also look bigger than it really is when a company shows the full transaction value, even though it has earned only a fee or commission. This story goes beyond the first question of whether a sale happened. It asks the next one: How much of that sale was truly the company’s revenue?

New NPS withdrawal plan: Retirement Income Scheme offers an orderly exit, but no return guarantee
The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) has introduced the Retirement Income Scheme (RIS) under NPS, allowing retirees to receive systematic payouts from the 80% withdrawable corpus until age 85 while keeping funds invested. RIS aims to improve income stability, corpus longevity, and inflation-beating returns.

And that is important, because decisions taken in anxious times can be terrible for the health of your portfolio. Also: As the market makes a serious attempt at a recovery, sticking to some important rules is a must.
