1. Punj Lloyd: Bumper results. Company announced 52% rise in sales while net profit increased by 180%. Punj Lloyd is a must have stock in every "Growth investor portfolio".

CMP: 164.7; P/E: 17.5; Book value: 80.

2. Everest Kanto Cylinder: Superb results. Company announced 35% increase in sales while net profits rose by 56%. This is a must have stock in any "Emerging portfolio". High valuations are a big concern. Buy on dips.

CMP: 178; P/E: 34;

3. GAIL: Superb results. Company reported 36% rise in sales while net profit increased by 78%. GAIL is a safe bear market stock and must have stock in every "value portfolio".

4. Selan Exploration Technology: Outstanding results. Company announced 326% rise in sales and 578% increase in net profit. Only problem with scrip is "It is a Z category stock". Risk is high- returns are high. Take your call. This stock will become a Multibagger if it comes out of Z category.

CMP: 164.5; P/E: 6.5

5. Birla Power: Positive surprise. Company announced 24% increase in sales while net profit rose by 58%.

6. Tanla Solutions: Wonderful results. This mobile VAS Company announced 60% rise in sales and 42% increase in net profit. Tanla is a must have stock in any "Emerging portfolio". Strong balance sheet with zero debt but this scrip is not for short term investors.

CMP: 91.5; P/E: 8.5; Book value: 58.

7. Reliance Industries: Decent results. Petrochemical giant reported 40% rise in sales while net profit increased by 7%. Unless it resolves court case with RNRL, this stock may find it difficult to make new highs. Like Larsen and Toubro, subsidiaries are Reliance strength. When will they unlock value?
