4 PSU stocks which are gig beneficiaries of the government focus on power, railways & infrastructure projects
What should a company which is lending both for short and long term but only to a particular sector be called. A “sectoral lender” or “term lending institution”. The obvious answer would be a sectoral lender. But the fact is that these are term lending institutions which come with its own advantages and disadvantages. The word “term lending institution” is not a word which many on the street would know or remember because this word was used a couple of decades back when ICICI, IDBI were not banks but term lending institutions. The difference between today’s PFC and IRFC of the world and old timer ICICI is that the PFC and IRFC are focussed in lending to a sector, whereas in old days, ICICI used to lend to different sectors. Another big difference is that PFC and REC have lower cost of capital as compared to term lenders like in the old days. Because some of these PSU lenders have come into public space recently, even analysts seem to be getting on the wrong foot by being less than optimistic.
