Should one worry about OMC stocks as election nears? Sachin Shah answers

Key Points

Sachin Shah, Fund (Portfolio) Manager, Emkay Investment Managers, says gone are the days when OMCs had to bleed a lot when the oil prices went through the roof..

There will always be some bit of tinkering here and there which the government has to take actions keeping a larger picture in the overall scheme of things..

There are a lot of businesses, a lot of stock prices which have actually delivered fantastic returns and they are now discounting at least, I would say, March 25 kind of positive earnings estimates also at this point in time...

As you mentioned earlier, the smallcaps have actually done very well in the last three to four months I would say and that is one area where a few bottom-up businesses where we have had opportunities, some of the businesses that we have been holding on, say a power equipment company that we have been holding for the last five-six years and in the last 18 months it has actually gone almost 8x to 9x..

So, it is very company specific where we like the businesses but the stock prices have run up a little bit ahead of time...

“Probably shoes are better than real estate; but to be fair, there is visibility in the shoes and consumer demand sector and there are a lot more brands. In real estate, in the near term, we will see a lot more. We will see a lot of activity and the way the accounting goes, the results for real estate companies will probably be good for next year.”

My dark horse play is IEX. You cannot have a trading platform which has 93% market share and lose trade at this valuation. I am looking at volume growing at not 10, but 12, but 15 times, maybe more in the next three years and the platform is brilliant. So, you cannot have a better play than IEX. Avoid the noise. This is the time to be in IEX and IRCTC, which are two brilliant blue chip businesses.
