Least Risky
Top 5 stocks with the lowest downside risk.

Methodology
The four filters used to arrive at
the Top 50 stocks
Only traded stocks: Of the about 7,000
listed stocks, only actively traded stocks
were considered.
Only big stocks: Only companies with
an average market capitalisation and
revenue of over `1,000 crore were
considered.
Only well tracked: We picked stocks
that are tracked by at least 10 analysts.
Only profitable and growing: We
considered only those stocks that are
expected to show growth in revenue, net
profit and EPS (earnings per share) in the
in the next four quarters. The final two
filters were that the companies should
have made profits in the past four
quarters and have a positive net worth.
Rating rationale
Having arrived at the final stocks
universe, we ranked them using the
following four principles.
A percentile rating (on a 1-100 scale) is
given to each parameter and the
composite ranking is arrived at using the
weighted average of these parameters.
1. Growth is the key...
Total weight: 30%, which comprises
10% weight to revenue growth, 10%
weight to net profit growth and 10% to analysts covering the stock (the
growth in EPS (the higher, the better, higher, the better) and 10% to
DB Corp
for each parameter). Growth is consensus rating (a composite rating 0.87
calculated by comparing the based on the recommendations by all Persistent
’consensus estimate’ for the next 12 analysts who track a stock. Again, the Systems
months with the historical 12-month higher, the better). 0.86
values. 4. ... and so do the risks.
Power Grid
2. ... but only at reasonable valuation. Total weight: 10%. Two kinds of risks
Corp of India NTPC
Total weight: 40%, which comprises were considered. A 5% weight was
10% weight to PE ratio, 10% to PB assigned to downside risk and bear 0.82 0.84
ratio, 10% to PEG ratio (the lower, beta each (the lower, the better, in
the better, for all three parameters) both cases).
Maruti
and 10% to dividend yield (the higher,
Suzuki India
the better).
The ranking methodology has been developed 0.72
