Friends,
So far, 229 companis have announced results for 1st qtr and the slaes are up by 27 p.c.and PBT and PAT are up by 11.5 and 10.8 p.c. respectively. This is very good showing and should the tempo be maintained like this , the market would not to have need to look back. A slight change in economic atmosphere would make it run at top speed. The good prospects after a inflationery period is the best thing that may happen to markets.In case of Indian companies of larger size , the fact is that they all have very little borrowings and interest out go is minimal. This would not have been the case but for dream profits made by most of them. Thid phenomenon also caps the down side for the leading companies.
The FMCG, Pharma and Telecos as also media companis have no fear of any kind and possibly have expending markets.
The auto sector has to be on slow wicket for some more time to come.
Banking sector is OK for the time being as well as OK for medium term. Metals sector should either be delivering a very handsome return over the year or two but are prone to be affected by input constraints and realisations getting poorer than present times, so metal sector remains slightly uncertain.
The cement companies should remain good investment due to present prices being on lower side compared to the values they have.
The infrastructure companies as also the big realty companies have become investment worthy.
Hotel industry does not have immediate scope hence should be left out.
Oil and Gas sector should be invested in , it may gain over time.
IT sector companies of big size are near their safe values and would be OK from the angle of dividend yield.
Consumer Durable sector calls for only company specific investment.
The cap-goods sector has scope of moderate type and also is good for company specific investment.
I have tried to give you sector-wise idea , broadly. Pl obtain company specific recommendation against payment of Rs 200/- per scrip.
