So, yes, you made a point absolutely right that Hyundai has a mark-to-market market share sort of along with Maruti a lot of discounts where they sell SUVs like Creta and these urban SUVs which sell very well.. Ideally, yes, it is a good time for this type of a company to come into the market..

I guess it is more a move that is medium term in nature but having said that, this side of the market, for example, Reliance had underperformed for the last six months, one year time frame I think it has just come out of that hibernation mode and most of its businesses, look at the numbers, most of these numbers were excellent be it Jio, be it the retail numbers, be it the O2C business, plus I think also the GRMs...

I think yes, it is into the right kind of the business and probably financial is one theme that is riding high on, it might have phases of sort of small hibernations in between but the model that Jio Financial is trying to get into, probably even the EMC that will come into picture and the other line of businesses, all these businesses together probably India is still underpenetrated and I think it is going to take the advantage of economies of scale, the reach that this company has...

There were robust balance sheet to not only lend, but I think there is nothing in the pipeline that can immediately come and disturb, add to it the fiscal deficit number that the government talked about and the lower borrowing figure that they talked about in the interim budget, that also has spooked this side of the PSU banks where I think most of their gains on the bond side can come on the treasury side because we saw the bond yields collapsing on that day and probably that is a sign towards lower inflation and lower rates over a period which these banks would be big beneficiary of not only in the treasury portfolios, but overall as well...

Is the one time re-rating in PSU, defence, railways, banks over? Madhusudan Kela explains

“PSU stocks market cap have gone up a little more than 3x in three years. But there are individual companies, within this basket, of course, that have given 500, 800, 1000%, 1500%, 2000% returns.

Companies like Trent and Titan have been outliers. Other companies per se have done badly in the same group, but they continue to thrive pretty well.”

Got IREDA and Tata Tech stocks? Long-term hold or sell on listing?

30, Nov, 23

“The sector that IREDA is in, is clearly a monopoly or rather an oligopoly. It enjoys a durable competitive advantage. My sense is people who have got an allotment will hold on to it. Yes, there are a lot of listing gains; people would take on that but these are companies which over the longer term create good wealth.”
