"Majority of the stocks in the ET study are part of the value basket. As a theme, value investing has been working well globally and in India since November when drug makers announced vaccines against coronavirus were ready to hit the market. Value indices have outperformed growth since then. Value stocks have come back in focus with many investors scouting for winners with reasonable valuations. Analysts said value could continue to outperform growth globally as expectations of an economic revival and lower real rates near term have boosted appetite for stocks that have been ignored in recent years," the report has stated.

It added that these stocks could offer 10% to 30% returns over the next 12 months, according to analysts’ estimates.

It is notable that several of these Blue-Chip stocks also feature in the list of high-dividend yield stocks prepared by HDFC Sec.
