These 7 powerful stocks can give ‘big profits’ on Muhurat trading
Muhurta trading is the time when most investors expect a fresh start and better profits. However, last year i.e. Samvat 2081 was quite dull and disappointing for the investors of the Indian stock market. During this period, Indian markets performed weakly compared to global markets.
Now, as we are entering the new Samvat 2082, the question in everyone’s mind is whether this year will live up to the expectations? Will the market be able to break the previous sluggishness? Brokerage firm Kotak Securities has released a report on this, in which not only the current situation of the market has been analyzed, but has also released a list of such strong stocks for Samvat 2082, which have good earning potential.
Why was there sluggishness in the market?
If we look at the last Samvat 2081, it was difficult for investors. Nifty also touched a low of 21750 in March 2025. The condition of midcap and smallcap stocks was even worse. This decline happened when many things were positive in the country and the world. Efforts were being made to reduce global tensions, inflation was coming under control, crude oil prices were falling, and even the RBI and the US Federal Reserve had cut interest rates.
Market will recover due to domestic growth
According to the report of Kotak Securities, the situation is improving on the domestic front. The effect of the steps taken by RBI and the government should start becoming visible now. With the exemption of Rs 1 lakh crore given in income tax and the benefits of GST, it is expected that people will increase spending, which will boost consumption.
Apart from this, normal and good monsoon, increasing wages in villages and festive season can provide major support to the market in the second half of FY 2026. There are some other good signs for the economy, such as Brent crude oil being around $65 per barrel and the inflation rate being only 2.1% in August.
The biggest positive news is that S&P has increased India’s sovereign credit rating from BBB- to BBB. This is the first upgrade in 18 years and the highest S&P rating India has received in the last 35 years, which will instill new confidence in the market. The report estimates real GDP growth of 6.5% for fiscal years 2026, 2027 and 2028.
