id=\"NHPC\"><\/span><strong>NHPC<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>NHPC is one of the best power sector stocks to buy today, trading at a PE of 18.73 against an industry average of 24.22, a meaningful discount. Groww&#8217;s analyst coverage shows a 100 percent Buy rating on the stock. The hydropower major offers a dividend yield of 2.05 percent, and its CMP of Rs 78.73 sits closer to the middle of its 52-week range of Rs 70.86 to Rs 86.60, leaving room on both re-rating and yield for long-term investors.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Karur_Vysya_Bank\"><\/span><strong>Karur Vysya Bank<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Karur Vysya Bank stands out among stocks to buy today for its strong return ratios, with ROE at 19.45 percent, among the healthiest in the mid-size private banking space. The stock trades at a PE of 12.06, below the sector average of 13.34, and carries a 100 percent Buy rating on Groww&#8217;s analyst coverage. At Rs 342.45, the stock trades roughly 17 percent below its 52-week high of Rs 410.90, offering a reasonable entry point for investors who prefer profitable, reasonably priced banks.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Angel_One\"><\/span><strong>Angel One<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Angel One makes the stocks to buy today list on the back of an 8.28 percent dividend yield, among the highest in the broking and financial services space, alongside a 100 percent Buy rating on Groww. Its ROE of 14.96 percent and PE of 26.38, marginally below the sector average of 33.77, suggest the market has not fully priced in its cash generation. Investors looking for income alongside growth may find this broking stock worth tracking.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reliance_Industries\"><\/span><strong>Reliance Industries<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Reliance Industries remains a core holding among stocks to buy today, given its scale across energy, retail and digital services and a market capitalisation of over Rs 17.69 lakh crore. The stock trades at a PE of 20.07, close to its long-term average, with an ROE of 8.94 percent. At Rs 1,307.80, it trades comfortably below its 52-week high of Rs 1,438.50, giving long-term investors a reasonable entry into India&#8217;s largest company by market value.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ICICI_Bank\"><\/span><strong>ICICI Bank<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>ICICI Bank features among today&#8217;s stocks to buy for its consistent 15 percent ROE and a PE of 17.23, a premium to the sector average that reflects its asset quality and steady earnings growth. The private lender closed at Rs 1,435.40, up 0.84 percent, and was also among the day&#8217;s most bought stocks on Univest, underlining continued investor interest in the counter.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tata_Steel\"><\/span><strong>Tata Steel<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Tata Steel is a cyclical pick among stocks to buy today, offering a 2.11 percent dividend yield and an ROE of 10.56 percent. The stock trades at a PE of 21.04, marginally below the sector average of 23.75, at a CMP of Rs 189.69, roughly 9 percent off its 52-week high of Rs 208.65. Investors positive on domestic steel demand and infrastructure spending may find the current levels attractive for accumulation.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ITC\"><\/span><strong>ITC<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>ITC combines a 28.53 percent ROE, one of the highest on this stocks to buy today list, with a 5.16 percent dividend yield and a PE of 16.75, below the sector average of 18.09. The FMCG major also carries an almost negligible debt-to-equity ratio of 0.03, giving it a defensive quality that suits investors looking for steady compounding alongside dividend income.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sun_Pharma\"><\/span><strong>Sun Pharma<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sun Pharmaceutical Industries is the pharma representative among today&#8217;s stocks to buy, with an ROE of 13.74 percent and a market capitalisation of nearly Rs 4.77 lakh crore. Its PE of 39.39 is roughly in line with the sector average of 37.31, reflecting the premium the market assigns to India&#8217;s largest drugmaker. The stock closed at Rs 1,990.50, within striking distance of its 52-week high of Rs 2,189.50.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bajaj_Finance\"><\/span><strong>Bajaj Finance<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Bajaj Finance rounds off the NBFC exposure on this stocks to buy today list, with an ROE of 16.68 percent and consistent growth in its lending book. The stock&#8217;s PE of 34.43 runs ahead of the sector average of 19.97, a premium long associated with the company&#8217;s execution track record. At Rs 1,141.20, the stock trades below its 52-week high of Rs 1,255.30, leaving room for investors who are comfortable paying up for quality.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kotak_Mahindra_Bank\"><\/span><strong>Kotak Mahindra Bank<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Kotak Mahindra Bank completes today&#8217;s list of stocks to buy, offering a PE of 19.13 and an ROE of 11.06 percent. The private lender closed at Rs 390.30, around 9 percent below its 52-week high of Rs 429.30, and its book value of Rs 182.07 offers a reference point for investors evaluating the stock&#8217;s price-to-book multiple of 2.14.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_These_Stocks_to_Buy_Today_Made_the_List\"><\/span><strong>Why These Stocks to Buy Today Made the List<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Healthy return ratios: every name on this stocks to buy today list carries a double-digit or near-double-digit ROE, a basic filter for capital efficiency.<\/li>\n<li>Reasonable valuations: several stocks, including NHPC, Karur Vysya Bank and ITC, trade at a PE below their sector average.<\/li>\n<li>Sector diversification: the list spans banking, NBFC, power, broking, energy, metals, FMCG and pharma, reducing concentration in any single theme.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\"><strong>Compare These Stocks on the Univest Screener<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Evaluate_Stocks_to_Buy_Today_Before_Investing\"><\/span><strong>How to Evaluate Stocks to Buy Today Before Investing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before acting on any stocks to buy today list, it helps to look beyond the headline numbers. Check whether the return on equity has been consistent over several years rather than a single strong quarter, and compare the current PE with both the stock&#8217;s own historical average and its sector peers. Debt-to-equity, dividend history and promoter shareholding are equally important, particularly for mid-size banks and NBFCs. None of this replaces your own risk assessment, and allocation should always match your investment horizon and risk appetite.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 24px;\"><em>Download the <a href=\"http:\/\/apps.apple.com\/in\/app\/univest-stocks-investment\/id6443753518\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Univest iOS App<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.univest.capp&amp;hl=en_IN\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Univest Android App<\/a> to compare fundamentals and track these stocks to buy today.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Today&#8217;s stocks to buy list brings together NHPC, Karur Vysya Bank, Angel One, Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank, Tata Steel, ITC, Sun Pharma, Bajaj Finance and Kotak Mahindra Bank, chosen for healthy return ratios, sensible valuations and sector diversification rather than short-term price moves.
