Stocks in focus: TCS, Hero MotoCorp, Pfizer, BPCL, Lakshmi Vilas Bank, Wipro


Midcap and Smallcap indices have outperformed the benchmarks so far this week.

Sensex ended Wednesday’s trading session above 44,000 points and the 50-stock Nifty closed above 12,900 levels. Both the benchmark indices closed at such high levels for the first time ever as they continue to scale higher and break records every day.

With equity markets at a high and valuations stretched, analysts believe it is time to trade stock specific.
