Want your portfolio to do well? Pick from these 6 large and midcap bank stocks: Sanjiv Bhasin

Key Points

Sanjiv Bhasin, Director, IIFL Securities, says in power, we would place our bets on NTPC, but REC, PFC would be our two top picks..

We think this quarters results will be the best ever in the history of the company and like I said, diversification across the board in all power verticals is seeing very good upside on revenues and net interest income and margins.. Bhasin further says is very bullish on ICICI, Axis, HDFC and Kotak and thinks Federal Bank will be a key beneficiary of expansion of gold loans..

Also, on TCS, in the last five years, they have done three buybacks and if you did tender in the buyback at a premium and did not buy, then you missed out on huge capitalisation, 2,500, 3,500, 4,500, these were the three buybacks, if I am correct and each time the market, after tendering in the buyback, the stock has been up 40% from there..

Sanjiv Bhasin: It is going to be a key negative for the tyre companies because sales have also reached a peak and if rubber prices, the way they have moved, is telling us that the commodity prices are here to stay and that is why we have been bullish on metals on the China comeback and we think that that is going to hurt margins quite substantially and you have seen the stocks particularly MRF, Apollo, CEAT, all hit all-time highs...

Along with that, we think RBL Bank is giving a very good opportunity. If you bought four-five of these largecap and midcap stocks, your portfolio should do just well.. Wealso feel that all the negativity on the higher yields and the stronger dollar is built in..

Prefer to accumulate largecaps on dips, small and midcaps vulnerable to liquidity-led push: Deven Choksey

27, Sep, 23

“I would rather play a little bit more carefully at this point of time. We love the price correction happening in some of the counters. That is where probably we will accumulate some of the bigger companies. The medium, small sized companies are relatively more vulnerable to the liquidity-led push in the market. And we are slightly more concerned there.”
