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.

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.

Higher ability to withstand sudden headwinds: 5 largecap stocks with right mix of RoE & RoCE
There are two kinds of risk in equity markets, first the overall market or asset class risk. Second is individual risk. First risk is not under control of anyone, because it can hit the market due to any reason, right from any geopolitical uncertainty to any monetary event in any part of the world. Probably the first kind of risk got played recently with the flip flop of the US and development in the middle east. The second risk which is individual risk is about the choice of the stock which one buys. In equities after a point of time it is more important to manage individual risk than to take risk. In equities the risk is more in the short term, over longer term, it is not very high. One way to manage risk is that when valuations are high, move to companies which have strong and large balance sheets and have seen many economic cycles and have survived the slowdowns in the past.

Pushing the envelope: Financial ratios like CD ratio and many others need to be looked at in context
The narrative about the high CD ratio of private banks has been on the street for some time. But the fact is financial ratios are derivative of underlying business and the decision which management takes and not the other way round. Similarly, some ratios are used in quantitative investing and also sometimes for justifications. In the real world, every ratio has to be seen in the context of many things, right from industry to the operating matrix at that point of time. Five stocks which on a ratio may not appear to be in line with what books say but are good business to own.
Narrative or Reality: This ratio is better guide for long term investors
As the market corrects and stays volatile, one justification which is likely to come to market would be comparing current price multiple of stocks to average price earning multiple it was getting till a few months back and investment case would be made. However, relying solely on the P/E ratio for investment decisions can be misleading, as it may not accurately reflect a stock's true value, particularly in cases where a stock seems inexpensive based on this metric alone. The Price/Earnings to Growth (PEG) ratio emerges as a more refined tool for long-term investments.
