Should investors take a fresh bet on railway stocks just ahead of Budget? Gurmeet Chadha answers
I think you have to be selective here and probably differentiate between life and non-life insurers. If you see the June data, there are some green shoots. Even LIC has had 30% APE growth. APE is your annualized premium equivalent because a lot of policies are also sold as single premium or where the premiums are upfronted. HDFC Life reported a decent set of numbers.

Tailwinds are winning, beneficiaries of strong OEM & replacement demand from auto sector: 5 tyre stocks with upside potential of up to 38%
It is a well known fact that if demand is growing at a fast pace, higher input cost can be easily passed on to the consumer. That is probably what the tyre industry is going through currently. Recently there was an increase in natural rubber prices and fears were expressed that margins might come under pressure. But two things happened just recently, the natural rubber prices corrected and the whole of the tyre stocks witnessed a sharp rally. While the risk of headwind in terms of higher input cost stays, will the OEM and replacement demand act as tailwinds and continue to power the stocks.

The entire space, some of them have gone to 5x, so never write it off.

Are fears and panic around PSUs overblown? Sandip Sabharwal answers
Ideally, they should not be able to because like you rightly said, it is more commoditised. In fact, you look at the reason why did HDFC merge into HDFC Bank, because they realised that the margins are going to get squeezed and if they do not have a low-cost deposit franchise which supports the margin squeeze, that will become tougher.So, many of these housing finance companies sustain higher margins to develop financing, loan against property, etc, which are higher margin, but then also carry higher risk.

Use this adversity to buy high quality companies at discounts: Nilesh Shah
Well, what looks to essentially be the go-to market strategy, if I may use those words, would essentially to look at the defensives. Sectors which have had an extended period of underperformance, which is FMCG, rural plays, IT, pharma, these will emerge to be the risk off trades or will emerge to be the defensive plays and it is quite possible that you will see some kind of recalibration, tweaking of allocations, sectoral allocations and it is quite possible that you will see some money move from the favoured lot to basically this lot.
