After a four day rally last week, the market on February 7 witnessed profit booking as Nifty closed below 12,100 level on the back of weak global cues due to China’s deadly coronavirus crisis.

The market is likely to remain in consolidation mode in the coming sessions amid corporate earnings, Delhi assembly elections results and domestic data including IIP, CPI and WPI.

Markets could see some correction/consolidation early next week after the big gains seen this week, they could once again attempt to reach the earlier highs later, said Deepak Jasani, Head Retail Research, HDFC Securities.

Here are 10 buying ideas from brokerages in which they expect return of 12-92 percent in medium to long term:

ACC | Brokerage: Dolat Capital | Rating: Buy | LTP: Rs 1,501 | Target: Rs 1,955 | Upside: 30 percent
