Tailwinds of restructured operation and capex cycle: 5 stocks from engineering sector, 2 with upside potential of up to 19%
One sector which bore the brunt of the winter of capital spending was the capital goods and engineering sector. However, thanks to capital expenditure by the government, segment by segment they are making a comeback. First road and infrastructure, then defence and railways. The million dollar question is what next ? There is a high probability that not one but a host of sectors and their sub segments might be getting added to the list as private sector capex shows signs of revival. This would mean that more engineering and capital good companies would see a better order book. The only difference is that unlike railways and defence where one large order comes to be implemented over years. When orders from a pharma, chemical cement or a private sector power company comes, they tend to be smaller in size but to be implemented in a shorter time frame.
