Some are transforming better than others to stay relevant in the EV space: 6 auto ancillary stocks with up

There has been a transformation going in the automobile sector and its supply chain, the auto ancillary industry. Now a number of the large auto companies have been re-rated in the last one year. But the re-rating of the auto ancillary unit has been slower, for a valid reason. These auto ancillary units are dependent on their main buyers. So, for an auto ancillary company which has been supplying to TVS, Tata motors the process of transformation started a long time back but for some other where the major buyer has not even launched a single EV model, transition has been slower. But the biggest factor which distinguishes a winner and laggard in the auto ancillary industry is how proactive the management has been. We take a look at 6 stocks from auto ancillary space. Where either they are a literal monopoly in their segment or they have been focussing on EV much earlier or have been sharp to react to changing market conditions. Key Points

A play on economic growth and transformation: 7 auto stocks from different segments with upside potential

Unlike the US and some other western countries, where a separate transportation index is watched very closely, in India we don't have a very popular transportation index. The reason why transportation index numbers are extremely important is because there is enough historical evidence to show that auto industry numbers lead indicators of what is happening in the economy. If one looks at the history of the stock market, the rallies which are led by the transportation and auto sector are more durable rallies. Especially the ones which are led by large commercial vehicles. The reason, sales of LCV and certain other auto segments is an indication of the economic situation on the ground. Demand for large commercial vehicles would only increase when there is higher economic growth as more goods get moved from one place to another when the economy is doing well. Key Points

EV ecosystem is equally important if not more: 4 auto ancillary stocks with upside potential of up to 32%

It might surprise some, but years before a new car or motorcycle is launched, automakers go in huddle with their backend supplier to finalize the supply chain management of components which will go in that new car or the bike. Until the component supply chain is not planned and perfected, things are not taken forward. Such is the importance of the backend component supplier which are more commonly known as auto ancillary units. Now there is a major transition taking place in the Automobile sector with EV coming close to that inflection point. So a transition is bound to take place in the auto ancillary sector. Key Points

In the new world of EV: 5 auto ancillary stocks with upside potential of up to 37%

In the last five years, many auto ancillary companies have been trying to stay relevant to the EV space. Some got into EV space through organic routes as their existing product lines were still relevant to an electric vehicle, a few went through an inorganic route. Over the next one to two years, there would be shakeout in the auto ancillary space. The ones which are relevant to EV space are likely to get premium; others will probably just survive. So, while looking at an auto ancillary unit it would be worthwhile to figure out abouts its probability of staying relevant in EV space rather than what is happening to its margins and other financial factors in the short term. We take a look at companies where analysts are projecting further upside in the next 12 months. The list is based on upside estimated by the analysts, with the highest potential stock coming on the top of the list Key Points

Nifty auto index stocks: Festive season is a test for EV inflection point

In some segments like cars and two wheelers do have witnessing rising sales in festive season. But this time in case of even in these two segments, what would be more interesting to watch would be the fact how much sales the EV segment is able to get. If there is a sharp jump in EV numbers then it would mean that the final inflection point as far as the price is concerned will be higher than what has been estimated earlier. Which means early adoption. So when companies announce their sales numbers for the following months, October, November and December, it would throw a light on possible winners for next year.
