The brokerage has identified 60 stocks which could be potential multi-baggers from current levels. Among the large-caps, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, State Bank of India, Bharti Airtel and Maruti Suzuki India are the potential winners. Since many of these blue chips are well-researched and widely-owned, ET looked into Goldman’s picks in the mid-cap space that it considers will multiply in value over the next few years.
