Consensus estimates reveal that out of approximately 400 stocks analyzed by a minimum of five analysts, around 54 are anticipated to generate returns ranging from 20% to 50% in the upcoming year, says an ET analysis.
ET has compiled a list of 15 stocks, each tracked by at least 10 analysts, that could potentially deliver over 20% returns within the next 12 months.
Recent market corrections have made many of these stocks more appealing to investors, while some are expected to yield returns exceeding 20% despite already experiencing positive growth this year.
