Expect one more rally before elections; bullish on midcap PSUs: Sanjiv Bhasin

Key Points

It is about time India started to smell the coffee and we think that the result season will bode extremely well.. Bhasin further says as we get more clarity on elections and so on, we should see one more rally coming before the election..

Cement, gold lenders, REC, PFC, midcap banks and the broader market will again start to do well, but it is going to be the Nifty which can actually spearhead on the back of Bank Nifty which I think can be a huge outperformer..

Sanjiv Bhasin: Reliance has been a bellwether, now we know that on the added front, the new entrants into their new verticals, all are going to be capital intensive, OTC has started to generate cash, but still there will be talk of how they can sell extra stake and so on...

As the spending patterns in rural India start to pick up, what has happened is there is replacement taking place in the basket from Pizza Hut, more preference against Domino's and that constant change of preferences will see some more market cap being added to Devyani...

As the process of power being an outlier has been there, all power companies have started to show positive EBITDA over a period of time, particularly the one which were servicing high debt and if power remains in this surplus generation where IRRs have improved, then that could be a real outbundling for them...

It is the right time to start cherry picking in mid and smallcaps: Mihir Vora

While there are still some risks to consider, such as regional banks in the US, overall, the global economy is doing well. Indian earnings are looking robust, and while valuations are becoming attractive, there is still scope for further compression.

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

“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.”

Sanjiv Bhasin says: “There is enough room for ICICI Bank now to go to new highs. Do not play it for the next few days. This is one stock which should be in your portfolio for that 20% upside which will take it to that $100 billion club. This will be, by the way, the first fourth $100 billion entry.”

​ The other piece in ITC Next was getting structural efficiencies out of the investments we had done on ICMLs (Integrated Consumer Goods and Logistics) facilities. So we integrated the warehouses and the factories and put in automated warehouses. It is now a seamless flow from the factory into the warehouses. Your layers of handling and transportation are reduced, so you bring in efficiencies there, Puri said.

Sanjiv Bhasin says: “There is no such thing as sitting on cash. It is better to be in largecap banks. I still like three PSUs -- IRCTC, CONCOR, and IEX and we are invested in those as a disclosure. They have just started to perform. We are up about 20% on our portfolio on these.”

What could be the market triggers for June, July and August? Anshul Saigal answers

25, May, 23

Indian markets are likely to continue their rally thanks to benign liquidity, stronger-than-expected results so far in the current quarter, and diminishing pressures on pricing. Underperforming sectors such as pharmaceuticals as well as capital goods, consumer durables and defence companies offer good opportunities. Stocks of safe bets, like ITC, Britannia and HUL, are doing well due to favourable valuations and strengthening ownership in a scenario of intense uncertainty before the election.
