    Expect a rally in PSU bank stocks in next few days: Vinit Bolinjkar

    While IT remains a trading pick, I am cautious due to potential downside risks in the US market affecting IT jobs. Pharma and FMCG are top picks due to the expected resurgence in consumption, likely to drive strong performances over the next quarters.

    Not AI, IT hiring not picking up because of global slowdown in IT spend: Ramani Dathi, Teamlease Services

    Ramani Dathi says there is no major uptick as far as demand for IT pros is concerned. There are a few set of clients, especially the GCCs and to some extent, who are able to maintain the current run rate of revenues and headcounts for Teamlease, but to show a massive growth or a double-digit growth, the IT services hiring has to be back on track.

    3 top stock recommendations from CA Rudramurthy BV

    Let us see how even budget comes out and then take aggressive position. So, for sure, this is not the time to take aggressive position, not to be in high beta and one has to have reduced leverage and risk management will hold the key if you are a very short-term trader.

    Outperformance of private sector banks may continue for next one year: Sandip Sabharwal

    The smaller pharma companies I find it tough to evaluate, so many of them can potentially do well but I do not have the bandwidth to go molecule by molecule and evaluate those companies. But I think Sun Pharma is a decent business model, so we are just holding it for the long term.

Being in the game is very important to win the game.

    Is it a good time to buy travel related stocks? Daljeet Singh Kohli answers

    ​But to assume or extrapolate that this similar kind of execution and similar kind of order book will stay for next three-five years which the stock prices are saying, I think that will be too much of expectation.

    • Market poised for uptrend with phases of consolidation: Sudip Bandyopadhyay

      ​So, once the tractor volume starts picking up, we will see further upside in M&M. The company has done fantastic early well as far as the SUV business is concerned. They have done well in other smaller segments as well, including farm equipments. But performance in tractors was promising and that will be icing on the cake as and when it happens.

      Pankaj Pandey on 4 sectors that may outperform in near term

      ​But our overall sense is that one needs to sort of watch out for Budget plus the element of optimism. Although they have some head room in terms of higher RBI dividend plus, obviously there can be structural savings on the subsidy side especially related to fertilisers, so it remains to be seen how they sort of utilise.

      2 bank stocks Hemant Shah is bullish on for near term

      ​Specifically in largecap sectors, we are focused on the telecom space per se and in the midcaps, we believe in visibility, validation and valuation. So, where valuation comfort is there, we have invested; where there is visibility, we have invested. And if you ask me, we have also invested in few PSUs, though the valuations are not at all cheap nowadays, but still we have been holding it since we have entered at a good price and a good time.

      Sanjiv Bhasin picks 3 sectors that may outperform in near term

      Anshul Saigal on sectors where investors can deploy fresh money

      Focus on reasonable valuations, avoid chasing momentum: Shibani Sircar Kurian

      Our belief is that if you look at government policy and of course, we will get to know more in detail over the next few days and then going into the union budget. But the government in terms of policy focus would continue pretty much along the same lines as what was happening over the last few years over their last term.

      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.

      There can be both time wise and value wise correction in PSU stocks: Sandip Sabharwal

      Consumer stocks are under-owned at this point of time. They have not given any returns for the last four-five years, leave aside something like a Godrej Consumer or a Tata Consumer which have been outliers and some stocks like Titan and all which have their own dynamics.

      Investors should start looking at value stocks with long-term perspective: Porinju Veliyath

      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.

      Is it time to book profits in 'Modi stocks'? Sandip Sabharwal answers

      If you have been always wanting to sell something and you could not get the opportunity, that is always the case, you should always do that. But I think it is foolish to unnecessarily increase cash in the assumption that you will want to buy cheaper at this point of time because if the strength of the mandate is as strong as what it reflects, then I think there will be continuity, there will be strong economic growth over the next few years.

      Is it right time to take some chips off the table on Zomato? Sandip Sabharwal answers

      ​So, at that time I thought it was a time to get cautious. So, the stock has just fallen from 190 to 180 after that and any increase in competition in a segment where as it is the existing players are making losses will be a negative development.

      3 sectors Varun Saboo is bullish on for near term

      In a scenario where we witness continuity in the government, it's likely that FIIs will return. They've been selling and feeling the impact of it, thus being major underperformers compared to domestic mutual funds or overall domestic funds during this rally.

      Bank Nifty better poised to head higher right now: Rohit Srivastava

      A lot of the recent action is due to what we are seeing in global markets as well. So, I am not sure how much of it is solely related to the upcoming elections. However, there is some short-term risk if we close below, say, 22,550, where we are right now.

      Hemang Jani's top stock bet from pharma sector

      But nonetheless, I think even when it has not performed so much, I think if somebody has to put fresh money, I think it surely makes a lot of sense given the performance, valuation comfort, I do not see much of a challenge over there. And recently, the fact bond yields went down when you had that big dividend payout, I think there was a bit of an outperformance. So, I think you could look for some more outperformance at least over the next 6 to 12 months.

      Can Vodafone Idea stock trade above Rs 20 in next one year? Hemang Jani answers

      ​I think there is a growth in terms of volume, given the kind of appetite that people have for jewellery and also, we feel that you will see stable margins once there is a little bit of stability in the gold prices. So, valuations, I do not think is too much of an issue. It is all about how big the opportunities and how Titan can deliver growth. We have a positive view. I think it is a part of the core portfolio.

      Pharma an undervalued, under-owned, high on comfort space for next 1-2 years: N Jayakumar

      ​ I think the market is not necessarily differentiated between consumption in the rural or consumption in the urban space. I think in general, consumption stocks have been lacklustre, languid if you will, but I think large scale recoveries in the market have happened across the board.

      India will continue to be a 'buy on dips' market: N Jayakumar

      ​My own assessment is that, especially even as investors, the local investors have now got a higher percentage of company holdings than foreigners. To my mind the big takeaway of the last five years. has been the pre-eminence of the Indian retail investor, unspoken, unsung, unknown investor through SIPs and through his investments and largely through mutual funds has remained an increasingly important constituent of the markets.

      What to expect from RIL stock going ahead? Deven Choksey answers
