Motilal Oswal Recommends 4 Stocks for 36% Returns Amid Market Volatility The stock market experienced significant volatility on Thursday, with the Sensex and Nifty 50 indices opening lower but recovering strongly by the close. The indices ended in positive territory, offering investors opportunities to capitalize on the market's fluctuations. Motilal Oswal, a leading brokerage firm, has identified four stocks with potential for substantial returns, suggesting investors consider buying these shares ahead of the weekend market closure. The brokerage firm has recommended four stocks, each with a "Buy" rating and projected returns ranging from 18.73% to 36%. These recommendations are based on fundamental analysis, sector-specific trends, and macroeconomic factors influencing the market. The stocks are expected to deliver strong performance in the coming months, particularly in a volatile market environment. Marico Motilal Oswal has set a target price of ₹900 for Marico shares, currently trading at ₹758. The stock is projected to deliver an 18.73% return. The brokerage highlights that Marico's exposure to the FMCG sector, combined with its focus on food and personal care products, positions it well for growth. Factors such as geopolitical tensions, supply chain dynamics, and currency fluctuations are expected to impact the company's performance. However, Marico's diversified business model and strong market presence in emerging economies are seen as key strengths. EPL EPL is recommended for a 28% return, with a target price of ₹270. The brokerage notes that the merger with a major packaging platform will diversify EPL's operations and expand its addressable market. Post-merger, the company's TAM is expected to grow from ₹2.4 billion to ₹29 billion, significantly enhancing its growth prospects.#motilal_oswal #ashok_leyland #marico #epl #kaynes_technology
