Stock picks of the week: 5 stocks with consistent score improvement and upside potential of up to 44%

It is on days like Friday where bears just send a reminder that while bulls are in control of the market, even they would come once in a while on the street. Coming week, the move of the market would be decided by what comes in the budget. When we say come, not only specifics about sectors, but more importantly, what is the broader picture on fiscal discipline. So, for some time, if one is not a trader and knows how to hedge, hedge your exposure. 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.
