Indian stock markets have experienced zero returns over the last two years, from 2024 to 26. Investors who stepped in during this time would be left with a portfolio that is going nowhere. Is it alarming? Absolutely not, because there were many financial years in the past when our benchmark indices, like the Nifty & Sensex, posted zero or negative returns.
Stock markets run up for many years and then retrace or take a break – this is usual. People usually think the best time to buy stocks is during the bull phase, but the truth is that real money is made during the consolidation period.
Today, I am quoting the performance records of a few of the top companies in India that have fallen from their former positions and could be good value picks for the years to come. Even though I have quoted the prices here, it is better to invest via a basket and avoid concentrated bets. I have curated a specific basket just for this purpose – details below.
