Hindustan TimesTime for tactical investing: 5 stocks from 2 most unwanted sectors, but with very strong balance sheets
There is an age old saying on Dalal street, when stocks stop reacting to Bad news, it means that bears have run out of ammunition and probably it is time to look at them. Similarly when stocks stop reacting to positive news, probably bulls will not be having a say in the near term. At this point of time, there is an interesting phenomenon which is playing out. While at the overall market basis, it appears that bulls may not have much to say in near term. But at the same time, there are two sectors, which have been getting bombarded with Bad news for the last two years. Whether it is macro or micro, news or opinion, literally everything which has been said about them is either negative or at best neutral. But if one looks at price action on the counters on any Bad news or even brokerage downgrades which is essentially an opinion stock prices are refusing to fall. Historically one of these two sectors were considered defensive,as stocks from this sector tend to outperform in bearish markets. So, is it the time to go against the narrative of negative news and get them on the watch list? Key Points

In the last few weeks, just because one bank has underperformed and was able to drag the market lower, that does not mean everything in one of the most important sectors of the economy, which is BFSI, is bad. This distinction needs to be made because in BFSI space every segment has a very different operating matrix and hence the growth path. So, while banks might be under pressure, AMCs have been doing well. Similarly, life insurers are under pressure but the general insurance companies have done well.

Time to look at them with a different lens; 7 not so large IT stocks operating in niche areas with upside
There is an old saying on Dalal street. News and stock prices have an inverse relationship. When news is good, stock prices are Bad and when news is bad, stock prices are good. This probably has played in the IT space more than anywhere else. For more than one year, too much negative has been said about the IT sector and the fact is that management of most of them have been showing lack of confidence in terms of rate of growth. But what happened on friday is a reflection that the street has been pessimistic beyond a reasonable level when it comes to IT stocks. It is time to look at each IT stock on an individual basis and their business model and strength and not with the same lens as the streets look at mega caps like TCS or Infy. Key Points
