Stocks To Buy: Bluechip Stocks That Are Down More Than 30% From Highs
We have collated a list of stocks that are in bear territory and could be stocks to buy after the sharp fall of more than 30% in some of these. Most of these stocks are reputed companies with a good track record of profits and dividends. Bear territory is defined when a stock falls more than 20%. However, we wish to warn readers that the markets in the coming weeks could be volatile and if the markets fall, these stocks could also fall as they are not defensive plays, except Aurobindo Pharma.
LIC Housing Finance
Current market price | 52-week high | Fall |
---|---|---|
Rs 382 | Rs 542.5 | 30.00% |
LIC Housing Finance is among the top housing finance companies in the country. The stock has also fallen into bear territory with the present drop in price as the stock is below its 200-day moving average of Rs 431 and also below its book value of Rs 417. The dividend yield on the stock is more than 2%.
Aurobindo Pharma
Current market price | 52-week high | Fall |
---|---|---|
Rs 674 | Rs 1063 | 36.59% |
The fall in the stock price of Aurobindo Pharma from 52-week highs is even sharper at 36%. Like LIC Housing Finance, this stock also has gone into bear territory with the 200 day moving average higher at Rs 849.
A fully integrated pharma company, Aurobindo Pharma features among the top 2 companies in India in terms of consolidated revenues. Aurobindo exports to over 155 countries across the globe with more than 90% of its revenues derived from international operations.
