Ajay Srivastava believes that there is no need to change anything in the market. He emphasizes that it is a good place to be and that there is no requirement to reinvent the wheel or find hidden gems. He advises investors to be cautious and aware of their comfort level when investing in PSUs and railway stocks. He also highlights the importance of patience in buying and states that the government's continuity in spending will provide opportunities for investors.

Hemang Jani says there is no need to react in a knee-jerk manner. The correction is providing a great opportunity. advises The market correction presents opportunity for balanced investment in largecaps, midcaps, and smallcaps. Adani, Ambuja, ACC, IDFC First, PSU banks, BEML, Max Health, Apollo Hospitals, Lemon Tree, Indian Hotels are good buys.

“ if you look at most of the largecap names like Reliance, HDFC Bank and if you look slightly longer over the last say 12 months or so, even ICICI Bank has not done anything. Given the fact that both Reliance and HDFC Banks stocks have got a considerable weightage and they have not performed, that actually makes the case that when they start performing next year, there is a good probability that the largecaps might outperform midcaps for some time.”

“Paytm and Zomato continue to deliver better than expected numbers and data points. The only thing is having seen a big run-up, it would make more sense to wait for a 10-15% kind of a dip before buying into these. I would be positive on names like Zomato as well as Paytm but would wait for a small dip.”

Elixir Equities Director, Dipan Mehta, argues that new age companies such as Zomato, Policy Bazaar, Nykaa, and Paytm are stocks of the decade of the 2030s and could be huge multibaggers over the next 5-10 years. However, these companies are still in their investment phase, which reflects in their P&L, although they are making strong efforts to get into EBITDA positive. Regarding concerns about Page's decline, Mehta suggests that a demand slump due to higher inflation and uncertainty around weather patterns may have impacted Page industries.
