Consolidation push to continue as key raw material gets scarce: 11 small cap cement stocks which fit the bill and may see some action
In less than a month, two cement majors clearly showed their intent. The intent is to grow through an inorganic route. One by complete acquisition, the other by taking a large stake in the company. Another common thing, both of them are focussed on the southern part of India, where the cement companies have a history of being under pressure. So why are they looking toward southern India? The answer lies in something else. It is one of the key raw materials that have become scarce and that is what is leading to a situation where big players clearly know that if they have to grow their capacities they have to pick on companies which have access to that critical raw material. This aggressive consolidation is likely to continue and it is the smaller players which are likely to be targeted.

Short-term headwind, long-term opportunities for investors: 4 small finance banks with upside potential of up to 35%
The increase in credit costs has been an issue which has been bothering banks, some more, some less. Even the chairman of India’s largest bank had to come out and give a statement regarding it. However the question arises when these headwinds which are periodic in nature and part of the business cycle hits any sector what should be done. Should one move out of the sector? Should one continue to stay invested or should one buy more of the stock of that sector. The answer is dependent on one simple factor which is how large is the opportunity which that sector has. If the answer is that the opportunity is very large, then probably, it is the second and third option which one may look at. Probably in case of small finance banks, which are today reeling under the pressure due to guidance by one bank fit the bill. These banks are no stranger to dealing with challenges since the time they were born. Challenges thrown by regulatory tightening and economic cycles.

In the fight between bulls and bears, these set of companies always win: 4 stocks with upside potential of up to 21%
Recently the finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman spoke about the risk of unchecked explosion of future and option trading. Before that, there was a SEBI study, which mentioned that 90 % of the individuals who trade in future and options ( F&O) end up losing money; only 10% are able to make profit. But there is another side to the story. First is that trade volumes in this segment are only going to rise. Second, what is the common between both the losers and winners? They both brokerage to their stock broker and also pay transaction fees to the stock exchange. So, who is the constant and permanent winner? The stock exchange and the stock broker. Yes, policy makers will bring in more checks, but the hard fact is that those checks will only be partially effective for a short period of time as the turnover in the F&O will continue to rise for the foreseeable future. One can control anything, but not the hope and greed on the street.
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.

Will small players turn bigger as the textile sector changes for good? 5 stocks from different specialised segments
If one looks at some sectors, despite being in existence for ages, most of the players are small or mid-sized players. For example sugar, there is hardly a largecap company in that sector. Similar is the case with textiles, it is mostly dominated by small or medium-sized players. There is a reason for it. In the case of textiles, right from having labour issues to smaller Asian countries becoming more competitive in terms of cost of production, and tariffs readjustment due to WTO norms different segments of the textile industry have faced more headwinds than tailwinds in their history of existence. But in the last two years, things have changed, though one can argue that the speed of change has been slower, but surely schemes like PLI and developments like China Plus One are showing impact on working. This list is drawn from Stock Reports Plus, powered by Refinitiv, with over 4,000 listed stocks along with detailed company analysis focusing on five key components - earnings, fundamentals, relative valuation, risk, and price momentum.
