Elections & Infrastructure: 4 construction & contract companies with ‘strong buy’ and ‘buy’ rating can rise up to 44%

Karnataka was the first state election in the series of elections which we will witness in 2023 before the general election of 2024.

This will have a trickle down effect on many parts of the economy and specially companies in contracting and construction. ET screener powered by Refinitiv’s Stock Report Plus lists down stocks with high upside potential over the next 12 months, having an average recommendation rating of “buy” or "strong buy".
