I am also of opinion that, with increasing EBITDA margins and R&D expertise, Hero Motocorp seems to be good bet from 2-3 years perspective. I am not convinced to buy at current CMP but looks promising story.
Also, adding LUPIN at this stage seems sound judgement looking at its current past 2-3 quarters though valuations look on higher side to me.
Adding more to HDFC Bank in these tough times looks logical. If there are not much opportunities then HDFC twins are good candidates to invest. This seems only bank in India with fundamentally sound business model, and sustainable low NPA(s).
@ajithganesan…wrt KVB, the problem that is there was reasonably elevated levels of restructured assets ( although not alarming ). But at the same time the loan and deposit growth has significantly reduced as compared to what it was 3-4 yrs back. Plus CASA growth was also sluggish.
Therefore I decided to bite the bullet and convert to LUPIN which had has descent correction.
Hi @ranvir your Pick Jyothy Lab is going great gun and is unfazed in this downturn.
Although i hold only miniscule quantity but just an update that I have been seen Maxo mosquito repellent in in My home Town Bhilwara in Rajasthan.
Also in Gurgaon I see Pril and Maxo quite frequently in My office and friends Home.
@kapil1301…Oh yes, JLL has been quite resilient. But I guess, it is because there is a pending Henkel-JLL deal which has to materialize before 31 Mar 16, in which Henkel has the option to buy upto 26% in JLL. So that is keeping the stock price resilient. And if the price at which the deal is struck is good, it can even move further.
On the operational performance front- Exo, Maxo, Pril and Henkomatic are showing encouraging signs.
If you don’t mind can you please share the reason for Torrent Pharma? I have a holding and despite pharma not doing great at the moment, I expect Torrent to do well. They have strong presence in domestic market and not solely dependent on US since they have presence in LATAM and Europe.
Torrent Pharma is indeed a good company. Selling torrent was more of an emotional decision than a truly rational one. I was a little scared of USFDA , especially after Lupin got some beating.
Disc: Added Marico, Emami and Dabur in the recent market fall.
Plan to buy more of these and Finolex cables if mkt falls further.
Reason- Strong trends in rural recovery…evident from super strong tractor and two wheeler sales. Therefore, FMCG volume growth is expected to be strong going fwd…and leading upto 2019 gen elections
Hi Ranvir - There has been a steep correction in V Guard in the last few days and I am also intending to buy into the counter. However, i am confused between V guard Vs Havells as which would be a better long term portfolio stock. Although v Guard is expanding into north India, i feel that Havells have better product mix and once the AC business of Lloyds start contributing, I get a feeling that Havells is better placed to ride the Indian consumption business? Any thoughts
V-guard has expanded well into the non-south regions. It now opens office in Kolkata to gain strength in the East India. Over all the move to diversify the market is playing out well. The revenues for non-south market stood at 259.5, up 20% YOY.
