SUMMARY

The Nifty50 has corrected ~5% in the past week, largely influenced by global uncertainties. In this article, we’ve curated a list of the top 20 stocks that have dropped over 5% in the last week but still boast strong fundamentals. While this is not an investment recommendation or a forecast of market direction, it’s worth noting that every dip can present a potential buying opportunity for the informed investor.

Markets have corrected ~5% last week and are expected to remain on an edge

Let’s be honest, its been a tough week. The Nifty50 has corrected ~5% over this last week. Global events have played truant and from the looks of it, are likely to keep the markets on edge.

While I make no claims of knowing where the markets will go from here, this is what I do know, since the pandemic, almost every market dip has been brought into.

While global events continue to spike uncertainty, India’s fundamentals remain relatively robust. The rate cut cycle is yet to begin and that could further bolster equity markets.

In light of these facts, below is a list of the top 20 stocks that have corrected more than 5% over this week only.

Please note: These are not an investment recommendation.

  • Companies have corrected more than 5% over the past week; and

  • A positive cumulative 3Y free cash flow; and
