Advantage of large market size or annuity: 4 largecap stocks from different sectors with an upside potenti
There are some sectors where the macro structure is such that for one or the other reasons the overall growth is higher. This is not to say that growth comes without phases of slowdown, but when tailwinds come they are able to take care of all the slowdown and over a period of time, growth is much better. So, at times valuations are high, take exposure to stocks and sectors where at least there is high probability of growth ensuring that over a period of time, valuations get normalized. When we talk of market size it is not only India but in some cases global markets also. Second, look at business that is bound to grow as markets expand and every transaction brings in some money to the topline and industry structure is such that cost does not grow in the same proportion leading to higher and stable margins.

Times Of IndiaIs it time for them to get re-rated? Only for moderate risk takers, 5 mid & small-sized PSU banks
When a sector gets re-rated, it is the leader of that particular sector which tends to get the attention in the first leg. If the fundamentals of that sector continue to improve, then companies which are lower than in terms of scale and size are the ones which tend to get re-rated. If one looks at the re-rating of PSU banking space, the likes of SBI, BoB had started to do well some time back. But the mid and smaller PSU banks, not smaller when one looks at the market cap, but in terms of geographical presence and overall size of the business are likely to get more attention now. There are multiple reasons for it: GDP growth rate has a strong correlation with credit off take, which will be visible even in the books of these banks. Some of these banks started their digital journey late, the impact of which will be visible in the coming quarter. Key Points
