Polycab shares have declined 17% since June following UltraTech's entry into the wires and cables segment, yet Jefferies maintains a bullish outlook with a 33% upside target, citing strong demand and growth prospects. Meanwhile, Welspun Corp has surged 236% in 2026, becoming the top Nifty 500 gainer, driven by large orders and rising global energy infrastructure investments.
