Conviction Picks
NSE stocks ranked by what the Street actually expects — consensus target price, implied upside and how deeply each name is covered.
Ranked by upside, consensus strength and how many analysts actually cover the name.
Conviction Picks ranks NSE stocks by sell-side analyst consensus — the mean 12-month target price published by the brokerages covering each company, the implied upside potential against the live market price, and the aggregate buy/hold/sell rating. Instead of a single broker's call, you see where the whole Street lands.
Raw upside on its own is misleading, so each stock also carries a conviction score out of 100. It weighs the size of the upside against the strength of the consensus rating and the number of analysts covering the name. A stock followed by forty analysts with a firm buy rating scores higher than a thinly covered name showing a spectacular but fragile target. Names with fewer than eight analysts are excluded outright.
Alongside the headline list you can browse themed cuts — Analyst Favourites for the most widely covered high-conviction names, plus Defence & Capex, EV & Auto, Green Energy and Digital India for sector-led ideas. Each unlocked card shows the consensus target range, where the price sits in its 52-week band, and a short AI-written summary of the case.
Analyst targets are forecasts, not facts — they are revised regularly and are frequently wrong, particularly around results and sharp sector moves. Use these lists to build a research shortlist, then check the fundamentals yourself. This page is informational and is not investment advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do the price forecasts come from?›
They are sell-side analyst consensus figures — the mean 12-month target price published by the brokerages that cover each stock, along with their aggregate buy/hold/sell rating. We aggregate and rank that data; we do not invent our own price targets.
What is the conviction score?›
It is our own 0–100 ranking of the consensus, not a broker figure. It blends three things: how much upside the mean target implies, how strong the aggregate rating is, and how many analysts actually cover the stock. That last part matters — a 60% upside from three analysts is far less reliable than a 30% upside backed by forty, and the score reflects that.
Why are some stocks missing?›
A stock only appears if at least eight analysts cover it. Thinly covered names produce noisy, easily skewed targets, so we leave them out rather than rank them badly. Lists are also filtered by theme and by minimum upside, so a covered stock can be absent from one list and present in another.
How often does the data update?›
Analyst targets move when brokerages publish new research, not tick by tick, so the consensus data refreshes roughly hourly and live prices update alongside it. You will typically see meaningful ranking changes after results season and major research updates.
Does a high upside mean I should buy the stock?›
No. A large gap between price and consensus target can mean analysts see value — or that the market disagrees with them for good reason, such as a deteriorating outlook the targets have not caught up with yet. Treat these lists as a research shortlist, check the company fundamentals yourself, and remember this is information, not investment advice.
What do I get when I unlock?›
