Simple moat is good enough reason : 5 large cap stocks from different sector with right ratio matrix and upside potential of upto 38%
There are many textbook definitions of the word “ moat”. But what it means in simple terms is that there has to be something in a business and the management which makes it different from others and also helps it grow faster and more importantly on a sustained basis. It is not a very complicated thing, just a look at some basic numbers, a look at what the company management had said 5 years ago, whether it has been achieved or not. For example, in sectors where the debt is normally high because of the nature of business, a company which has been able to grow while keeping debt at a lower level is positive and is surely a moat, while if one goes by strict textbook definition of moat it might not fit it.

Global PE very active in buying out promoter stakes in listed companies: Gautam Trivedi
But my view is that it is a global product and while we have seen consumption both for defence and railways and infrastructure explode in this country, thanks to the Modi government, I still think that the overall pricing is determined by global factors.So, if prices for steel, for example, were to fall in Shanghai, that impact does come through in our markets as well.
FMCG sector: Street might treat it as saviors in some phases & there is more to it than HUL, 13 stocks, with upside potential of up to 42 %
On the day of the election result and the day after that, two days in succession, everyone was talking about FMCG stocks. Explanations about why they are safe heaven stocks, how the focus on rural income and consumption will benefit them. Third day, the broader market recovered and FMCG was probably the only loser. This is not the first time that it has happened. For ages, FMCG stocks have been considered defensive stocks. Whether FMCG stocks should be defensive is a different issue. What is relevant is that there is a probability that going forward, there will be phases, where a narrative about FMCG stocks being defensive will keep coming to the street. Given the fact that their valuations are expensive, there is hardly any growth in business, it would be worthwhile to understand that sector otherwise one might end up buying stocks and make the capital underperform. We look at 28 stocks from every segment, right from food and beverage to cosmetics.

Strong demand tailwinds are for all the players: 5 small and midcap real-estate stocks with upside potential of up to 34%
Four years ago, the real estate industry was defined by excess inventory, over leveraged balance sheets and weak demand. Today, a housing project getting launched is getting sold within a few days. The average prices on a per square ft basis have inched upward very sharply in the last one year and still there is no dearth of demand. Now the question is whether this kind of sharp rise in demand is having an impact only on large players or also on mid-sized companies which are focussed in a region only. The fact is that in the case of sectors like real estate, when the tide of demand changes, it changes for every player, be it large or medium. Yes, when it comes to medium-sized players it would be important to look at the players where they have a track record of implementing projects on time. Delivering the project on time is key metrics which determines whether the company which is mid-sized today will become large or not in years to come. As the large ones have seen a sharp rise in the valuations, the focus of the street is now also on mid-sized by well managed companies.
