Elections still on for them? But macro structure has changed for good: 5 sugar stocks with upside potential of up to 27%
In a sector, where government policies have a major impact, the risk of any change in policy impacting the players is always present. That is the reason why the valuations of these stocks from such sectors don't cross a certain threshold. Probably the sugar sector tops the lists of such sectors and the reason is because both the central and state governments have some say in the policy making. While the general elections are over, there are many states which have exposure to the sugar sector and state elections are going to be held there over the next couple of quarters. So a narrative might get built against the sugar stocks. What needs to be done, make a distinction between the reality that the balance sheets of these companies are much stronger than what they were, their business model is not just about sugar, but about part of the clean energy which is something which is going to grow.
How should investors reshuffle their portfolio? Arnav Pandya answers
There are two things. One is that there is political posturing which obviously happens because they are going to go into a negotiation. But till the date on which that swearing can happens, the ministers take oath, all this is just in the whole realm of speculation, so one should not make any investment decisions based on this. The second part here and which is the important thing is that if you look closely at what Mr Narendra Modi said in the victory speech, it is very clear that the road to Viksit Bharat, he said, will continue.

Power stocks: Both PSUs and pvt ones got re-rated. Ready for another round in Modi 3.0? 6 stocks with upside potential of up to 37%
The summer heat leads to high power consumption is a well known fact. What has been the difference in the headlines this year and last two or three years? The news about massive power cuts and the possibility of power plants running out of coal is missing. The news which is dominating is that power demand is high and is being met. This change is the result of many things, right from optimism at one point of time to absolute despair at another. Finally policy push and discipline and integrated approach toward solving the issue of the sector, whether it for thermal, solar, wind or hydro. This led to a certain level of re-rating in Modi 2.0 which is likely to get pace in Modi 3.0. One thing which goes unnoticed is the fact that the power sector moving out of the trouble not only means good news for power companies but also the banks, because after metal, power companies topped the list of NPA of the banks.
The unexpected boon for the otherwise boring industrial products from AI boom

Defence stocks: Long runway, hedge a bit to avoid narrative-based decisions; 8 PSU & Pvt sector stocks, 4 with upside potential of upto 44%
In an election season, there are bound to be times when one or the other narrative may make one question about whether one should sell the stocks. The underlying reason would be fear of losing the gains on which one is sitting. Especially when it comes to sectors like defence, railways and others which have seen a strong re-rating and siting with big gains and already there has been skepticism about their stock price moving ahead of time. Now let's look at the issue in two ways, first is whether the fundamentals of the sector are on a strong foot and business is fine or not. Second, how to hedge the exposure so that one is not forced to sell due to narrative, because the fact is that a continuation in policy push means that the companies have just started their journey. While defence PSUs are well known, there are other private sector players, whose lifeline is dependent on defence expenditure and in the last few years they have also done well, both on the street and in terms of real business. So, it is better that one should hedge and stay with them and not get jittery because of one or the other narrative which will keep hitting the street till 4th June.

Railways stocks: Stay bullish, just hedge a bit to avoid mistake of selling in haste: 7 outperforming railways stocks across different segments
Even the best of the rational brain can make wrong decisions when there is too much noise which gets created due to a narrative. Now for the last few days a narrative has been created that due to polls, FPI are selling. 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. Rather than getting jittery, it would be better to create a hedge and stay with the stocks where there has been a big change in the fundamental ways things operate and the sector has a long runway.
