stock market

Sahil Aggarwal (Editor-in-Chief): Leading brokerage firm Motilal Oswal has identified Manappuram Finance and GAIL (India) Ltd. as its top stock picks, citing strong growth potential and strategic opportunities in both companies.

According to the firm, Manappuram Finance, a key player in the gold loan sector, is well-positioned to benefit from rising gold prices and increasing demand for secured loans. The company’s diversified business model, including microfinance and vehicle loans, further strengthens its growth prospects.

On the other hand, GAIL, India’s largest natural gas transmission and marketing company, is expected to benefit from the growing demand for clean energy. The brokerage highlights GAIL’s strong pipeline infrastructure, expanding liquefied natural gas (LNG) business, and potential policy support as key drivers for future performance.

Motilal Oswal believes that both stocks offer attractive valuations with promising upside potential. The brokerage’s optimistic outlook on these companies aligns with broader market trends favoring financial services and energy sectors.

With an improving economic environment and sectoral tailwinds, these two stocks could provide significant returns for investors in the coming months. However, market participants must conduct their research before making investment decisions.
