This ratio helps in avoiding mirage of value in bullish time: 5 stocks from different sectors for long-term investors
Given the high probability that bulls will be soon seen all over the street. It would be better to just be a bit more cautious while taking incremental exposure. One thing which investors need to take into consideration is that there is a big difference in what is value and what looks cheap due to one financial ratio, more often than not, relying on PE may lead to wrong investment decisions. When looking for long term investment, it is better to use PEG ratio, though finding the right ratio is itself a challenge. PEG ratio is much better compared to the commonly used P/E ratio. It helps in avoiding stocks which might appear cheap but actually are not value buys. Also in sectors which are cyclical in nature, looking at the price earning matrix may lead to wrong decisions.

The CD ratio, considering the HDFC merger, dropped from 80.27% in late March to 79.79% by May 17.

Stocks with tailwinds called advantage India: 5 largecap stocks from 3 different sectors with an upside potential of upto 36 %
In terms of valuations and sentiment we are not far from the place where we were in the last quarter of 2023 or early part of this year. When it was not possible to find stocks which can be called as “fairly valued” forget “undervalued”, and the sentiment was very bullish. The only difference between then and now is that we have election results which are coming up. Surely a confirmation on 4th June that continuity in the policy making is a big factor. But there is another thing which long term investors need to look at before investing. Whether the company or the sector has an advantage due to India as a country. A well known example, which has been present for decades is that of the IT industry. India as a country is a factory of software engineers, and that is our strength. So when investing for the long term, look at sectors where we have some strong tailwinds due to our human capital.
