Sometimes skepticism should not be first port of investing: 4 largecap PSU stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 29%
While a part of it is due to valuations, another part is due to doubts about whether the government will continue to focus on making the PSU a set of better run companies. If one looks at the announcements which have come in the last four weeks, there is a high probability of that happening.
Sit & take the ride; don’t be too impatient to get off the real estate train: Anshul Saigal
If you are a safe investor and do not like volatility, then clearly the high-quality private banking space is well-suited for you the reason being that some of those private sector banks have also not performed in recent times and price action has been adverse, says Anshul Saigal of Saigal Capital.
Fund Manager Talk | Higher interest rates for longer periods can upset bull market: Mihir Vora
Over the short to medium term ie: next 1-2 years, the markets would focus on earnings delivery as there is limited upside from valuations. Retail investors continue to invest regularly providing long-term support to the markets. We believe that his combination of fundamentals and liquidity will anchor a bull-market in stocks.
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.

Better to own a set of stocks from the digital ecosystem rather than betting on one stock? 15 stocks with upside potential of upto 48%
Few day’s back there was an issue with the telecom provider and the services stopped for some time. Now which would be the companies which got impacted the most, the telecom service provider, the answer is no. As a customer one would not get any reduction in the monthly billing because services were down for some time. The companies which may have got impacted would be a platform company on which one orders food, such as a swiggy or zomato. The reason, in the peak time of demand, a customer is not able to order food online due to internet service being down, that demand will not come back when the internet is back. But the other platform company which sells insurance was also not impacted. The reason is, if one was planning to buy an insurance policy and there is no internet, the demand will get postponed not get extinguished. The digital ecosystem is making things simple but it is yet complicated when it comes to investing.

Are private bank stocks ready for a multi-year move? Sumit Agrawal answers

Here's why Sunil Koul prefers private banks over PSU banks

Anshul Saigal identifies 5 sectors with significant profit potential
I think that financials, again, the PSU banking space, they are still trading at under one time book. Even old private sector banks are trading at one time and lower book, they are trading at five-ten times price to earnings. And if the private sector capex is to pick up, then it is this space which will be the bigger beneficiary of that trend than not and as a result for the growth that they will show at five-ten times price to earnings, they are quite reasonably positioned.
Buy companies with strong fundamentals, reasonable valuations in this stock-pickers market: Anshul Saigal
Many of these stocks have rallied multi-fold. In capital goods, I know of companies that I hold, which are up like five-six times in the last one odd year. Now, to say that they still have a lot of steam left and most of the upsides are ahead of us, I do not think that would be a prudent way to approach this space.
Minister & Policy Continuity: Will it lead to re-rating getting sustained ? 7 stocks of railway’s ecosystem.
While it became clear on the day of the election result only that the same government is going to continue. Some doubts were raised as to whether there would be a shift in policy focus. A part of the answer has come in the form of portfolio allocation. Some of the key sectors which mattered to the street because they had seen a re-rating and valuations are high, the continuation with the same minister is an indication that government is clearly focussed on continuation not only with a policy focus but it also does not want to waste time in getting a new minister and spending time in him/ her understanding the core work. Now this should bring relief to some companies as their projected plans and workflow will continue. Which means that expected growth which the market has put in its estimates of earning has a high probability of continuing.
Capital goods, defence, railways segment should continue to do well in PSU space: Mihir Vora
See, the good part is that the election has voted for continuity.

Will short-term narrative against PSU banks bring back mojo to private sector banks: 5 banks with an upside potential of up to 24%
One of the sectors where the election results hit hard was the PSU banking space. Two reasons, the stocks had done well in the last one year and had been sitting on big gains, so there is bound to be some nervous selling. Second, they have been seen as following a certain discipline and it is being assumed that because it is a coalition government than probably some amount of laziness might creep in. Well, only time will tell whether it creeps it or not. The hard fact is that in the short term a tactical trade might emerge in banking space, which is incremental money which comes into the banking sector, flows into private sector banks as compared to PSU banks stocks. Another reason why this could happen, over the last three years these private sector banks have under performed on a relative basis. Although they are still heavily owned by institutional investors, the ones who have not sold in the last three years are unlikely to be in a hurry to sell even now. So, for a short term tactical trade, it would be worthwhile to have them on your watchlist.
Power a structural story; expect a lot of opportunities in this sector: Madhu Kela

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.
Risk-adjusted returns in rural-linked stocks could be quite significant: Anshul Saigal
