Power stocks: Stay with the re-rated ones in Modi 2.0 for next round in 3.0, just hedge a bit, 5 stocks with upside potential of upto 23%
In the last ten years there have been many sectors which have come out of their troubled past, but the power sector probably stands out for multiple reasons. First, moving out of trouble not only meant that power companies were able to stand on their own feet, but also a big amount of NPA which the banks were saddled with was due to power companies being in the red. So, the health of the power sector, especially the private companies, has seen an improvement. Because there are a large number of PSUs in the power sector, due to policy push and changes in the policy a number of them have seen better performance. Now because any sector where the government and its policies have played an important role in terms of revival, the continuation of the policy framework becomes critical for the sector. So in such a sector, shareholders should hedge before the election results so that their decisions are not impacted by the narrative that FPI are selling due to polls.

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.
