The risks differ by company and include weaker earnings, asset quality, sector cycles, valuation and changes in business conditions.
There is no guaranteed best stock among Bank of Baroda, Can Fin Homes, Natco Pharma, NTPC and Godawari Power. Investors should compare each company's fundamentals and valuation with their own risk level.
