Stocks to buy today: List of 20 stocks for profitable trade on February 25

The Indian markets declined as much as 5 per cent on Thursday as Russia attacked Ukraine from all fronts-land, air and sea, leaving investors panicked as they resorted to massive sell-off amid fears of prolonged war.  Benchmarks gave up all crucial support as Nifty slipped below 16,300, while the Sensex tanked 2700 points. Besides all broader market and sectoral indices slipped deep in the red as the market extended its losing street to close in the red for the seventh consecutive day on Thursday. 

PSU Bank (8.26%), Realty (7.17%), Media (6.95%), Auto (6.26%) and Private Bank (5.98) took the maximum beatings on Thursday. Besides, all stocks on the benchmarks too ended in the red.
