Mint found that in Samvat 2081, 66% of 58 picks declined and only about a third beat the Sensex&#x27;s 3.2% return. In Samvat 2080, 49% of 45 picks gained over 23% against the Sensex&#x27;s 22%. There is no reliable pattern.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_buying_on_Muhurat_day_auspicious_for_Samvat_2083_returns\"><\/span><strong>Is buying on Muhurat day auspicious for Samvat 2083 returns?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> It is a tradition, and Angel One notes that buying during an auspicious window does not secure financial gains. This year&#x27;s Muhurat close was the first red one in nine years per Outlook Business, so the symbol did not predict the day.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_should_I_use_brokerage_Diwali_stocks_2026_lists\"><\/span><strong>How should I use brokerage Diwali stocks 2026 lists?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Treat them as research leads. Note the holding period, check the company&#x27;s results and valuation yourself, limit position sizes and compare returns with the Nifty 50 over the same period. Do not buy a whole list on trust.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_I_buy_Diwali_stocks_2026_picks_at_a_record_high_in_Samvat_2083\"><\/span><strong>Should I buy Diwali stocks 2026 picks at a record high in Samvat 2083?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> A record high shows momentum, not value. Compare the price with earnings and history, and consider staggering entries. Univest does not recommend any security, so consult a SEBI-registered adviser for your situation.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Samvat_2083\"><\/span><strong>What is Samvat 2083?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Samvat 2083 is the Hindu calendar year that begins with Diwali 2026 and, in the Indian market tradition, the new accounting year opened with the Muhurat session on 8 November 2026.
