Stocks to pick: SBI Life, ICICI Pru Life and more with strong buy/hold ratings and up to 27% upside potential - LIST

Stocks to pick: Amid the Gulf conflict, several statements and counter-statements may emerge this weekend; however, as an investor, it would be best to focus on the impact this has on crude oil prices.

Elevated crude oil prices and a weakening rupee could impact corporate earnings in the coming quarters, potentially eroding profit margins and curtailing expansion plans.

What investor to keep in mind?
