SBI Securities published a list of 15 stocks to watch for Diwali / Samvat 2082.
Picks span sectors: banking (HDFC Bank, Indian Bank), automobiles (TVS), healthcare (Apollo Hospitals), metals, consumer, engineering.
Many have moderate upside targets of 10–20%.
The strategy is to align portfolios for festi
ve / seasonal boosts.
Some picks leverage demand cycle, exports, policy tailwinds.

Sectors like FMCG, autos will be keenly watched.

Market participants may lease into these names cautiously.
