The second-best performer over half a year delivered less than 50% of Adani Power return – JK Paper rose 84% during the same period.
Even the #10 stock on the list rose 62%. The chart below shows energy stocks dominated six monthly gains on the BSE 500 index.
Top gainers in last 1 year
Adani Group companies continue to be yearly winners. While Adani Tansmission gained 256% in last 1 year, Adani Power shares surged 253%.
TTML (Tata Teleservices Maharashtra) jumped 171% in a year largely due to a sudden and short-term spike of over 400% that stock had witnessed in January this year.
All the top 10 stocks in this list doubled the investors’ money in the past year.
Overall winner is…
If you are not a day trader, and are looking for a consistent performer in these lists, here’s a table that lists common stocks from the above five charts.
Adani Transmission comes up as the most consistent of the five lists. It appears in 4 of the five top lists. So does Deepak Fertiliser.
