Key Points

Ramco Cement is a stock which everyone must own in their portfolio, 2.3 times price to book, trading at the lowest enterprise value to EBITDA, and prices in the south are now headed northwards..

Simply put, if two-wheeler and tractor sales are picking up, then rural incomes are bound to see good in the consumer staples and in that, Avenue Supermarts is benefiting from that on volume front and on growth through more branch outlets..

Sanjiv Bhasin: Firstly, Maruti has been my top pick and is one of the top stocks with Mahindra in our portfolio and yesterday it hit all-time highs..

But we think that this auto market is really being taken on a supercharger, given that rural incomes are picking up and now with the Fed talking of three rate cuts, lower bond yield, lower inflation, I think autos are going to find fancy for some more time..

Sanjiv Bhasin: Firstly, we have had enough of a correction or enough of a short-term consolidation and purely in that consolidation, the index has stood its ground, which is evident that the money which was seeing froth on the midcaps has now shifted there..

“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 markets are all about fine-tuning. IT has proven that whatever seems infeasible becomes feasible over time. Wipro and HCL Tech have led from the front, causing shorts to get squeezed. Wipro's stock is expected to reach at least Rs 550. The index is expected to reach 22,000, but stock selection is crucial. State Bank and other stocks like Indigo, Ashok Leyland, and ABSL AMC are value buys. It is better to stay with reasonably valued stocks like Reliance, SBI, ICICI, and IT.
