Long-term investor? These four beaten-down blue chips may be just right for you.
Even giants stumble sometimes. From information technology to lifestyle, several blue-chip stocks have taken a hit in recent months. But that's exactly when the smart money becomes interested. Several top-tier companies that are the leaders in their sectors have seen their stock prices drop in recent months because of temporary margin pressure, global demand slowdown, or macro-induced changes in sentiment.

It's the second-largest IT services company in India behind TCS. Its revenue segments include digital services (57% of revenue), core services (43%), and products and platforms. The company's deal pipeline remains solid but mega deals are fewer and tend to have longer gestation and ramp-up periods.

Blue chip stocks may not offer huge overnight gains, but they can help you create wealth over the long term. Note that a beaten-down blue chip stock may remain under pressure if foreign institutional investors keep pulling out or if sentiment remains negative despite strong fundamentals. Investors should evaluate a company's fundamentals, corporate governance and valuation before making an investment decision. Happy investing!

Why are Trent shares down 9% today? Know the reason
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on July 4, 2025, 09:58 IST Shares of Tata Group's Trent Ltd. fell nearly 9% in early trade on Friday, July 4, after the company flagged slower growth expectations during its Annual General Meeting (AGM) and brokerages issued downgrades. The stock touched ₹5,766.50 on NSE, down from its previous close of ₹6,191. At its AGM, Trent's management indicated that it expects revenue growth in Q1FY26 to be around 20%, much lower than its five-year CAGR of 35%. The company's business update confirmed this, reporting standalone Q1FY26 revenue at ₹5,061 crore, up 20% from ₹4,228 crore a year earlier. The company added one new Westside store and 11 Zudio outlets during the quarter, taking its total to 248 Westside, 766 Zudio (including two in the UAE), and 29 stores under other lifestyle concepts. However, analysts took a cautious view. Brokerage Nuvama downgraded Trent to 'hold' from 'buy,' slashing its FY26 and FY27 revenue growth estimates by 5% and 6%, and EBITDA estimates by 9% and 12%. It also cut its price target to ₹5,884 from ₹6,627 earlier. On the other hand, Morgan Stanley maintained an 'overweight' rating with a target of ₹6,359, citing long-term growth potential at a 25–30% CAGR. Of the 25 analysts covering Trent, 18 rate it a 'buy,' four a 'hold,' and three a 'sell.' The company's update underscores a healthy retail footprint and ongoing expansion but highlights the challenges of sustaining high growth rates in a competitive environment.
