COMPREHENSIVE MOTOR INSURANCE
Auto stocks: Time for some cool down and also an opportunity? 6 auto stocks with upside potential of upto 28%
It is the sector which has led the rally which the market has witnessed in the last 14 months and rightly so. If one looks at the history, the rallies which are led by the transportation and auto sector are more durable as sales of LCV and certain other auto segments is an indication of the economic situation on the ground. But there is another fact, which is that with a mad rush for stocks a number of them have seen sharp run with valuations moving upward sharply. There is no doubt that the Indian auto sector is going through a transformation and Indian companies are adjusting to it very well. So there is a situation, while the fundamentals are good and improving, valuations have seen a run up. So, there is a likelihood that we might see some cooling off, but that would bring an opportunity for investors who have missed the bus.

First to indicate good or bad about economy, as it stays strong, ignore noises about politics: 6 auto stocks with upside potential of upto 34 %
Unlike the US and some other western countries, where there is a separate transportation index which also has an element of logistic companies in it and is watched very closely, in India we don't have a very popular transportation index. The reason why transportation index numbers are extremely important is because there is enough historical evidence to show that auto industry numbers lead indicators of what is happening in the economy. That is why if one looks at the history of the stock market, the rallies which are led by the transportation and auto sector are more durable rallies. Especially the ones which are led by large commercial vehicles. Demand for large commercial vehicles would only increase when there is higher economic growth as more goods get moved from one place to another when the economy is doing well. At this point and in near term there will be noises about political instability, but better ignore it.

These kinds of narratives tend to hit the sector and stocks which are sitting with big gains and are dependent on government policy push. Railways was among the last sectors to get re-rated due to the policy focus. Whether it was companies which are financing the expansion of railways or private sector companies which are making coaches, all of them have done extremely well. Given the fact the railways is likely to be the focus area, the long term story remains intact. Only thing is that one might end up selling the long term winner early because of the narrative.

Challenges turning into tailwinds? 6 auto stocks from different segments with upside potential between 7-40%
Between March 2023 and 2024, the market cap of the one of oldest automakers doubled. No we are not talking about Tata motors, which is the first auto stocks to get re-rated. What is more important is that this doubling of market cap happened in absence of any major product launch or any restructuring of the company. There could be two probable reasons for it, first street realized that challenges which some of the new age companies in the auto sector were supposed to bring were more narrative than reality. Second, there is no substitute for a strong balance sheet combined with battle hardened management which has seen many economic cycles. Given the stretched valuations, it might be sensible to stick to some good old war horses.
Restructuring of Tata Motors: Will these 7 auto companies be forced to follow the same path sooner or later?
The moment Tata Motor raised money from a private equity fund for its EV part of the business it was apparent that sooner or later, the demerger of EV business is bound to follow. But it will come so soon is not something which the street was expecting. Why was the demerger imminent? Not only because there is a PE player who wants to have a road map for the exit even before investing. The other simple fact is that there is no sense in having a single entity for two businesses which are different from the word go. While it might appear that Tata Motors is restructuring the business due to vast differences in the two segments. The fact is that very soon, the difference between the traditional ICE vehicle business and the EV business of even two-wheeler maker or a passenger car maker would also get highlighted and would have a negative impact on the the valuations. So don't be surprised if the large auto players get into mode of restructuring the business to protect both the value and valuations.
