Consolidation of PF progressing well with the number of stocks now down to 21 compared to 29 in Jul end & 38 in June. Top 10 stocks have 74% of PF value at current market price.
Growth Stocks now account for 64% of PF, which is deliberate to ride the current bull run in Midcaps & Smallcaps.
I did not see any differentiation in the offerings of BigBloc, since the same product is available across all states at (probably) cheaper rates. Its logistics will be similar to that of Cement (local production required, since transportation will be costly), and hence a big constraint on regional expansion and growth.
The stock has however grown +80% from my level, thanks to improvement in Revenue Growth & EPS in last two quarters and the roaring bull market.
Note: This is an update after 3 quarters, hence there have been many changes in the PF.

PF Concentration: 14 stocks at present, with highest allocation being 10% and top 10 accounting for 80% of PF. So, a healthy concentration and spread.
PF Construct: Majority of the stocks have been chosen for Growth (in Revenue & EPS), since the current bull market has given outsized returns to growth/momentum way for investing. There is one stock chosen for Turnaround and one as a Stalwart, though the boundaries between the four classification are blurred in a trending market. Many of the stocks in the PF were bought at lower/higher levels.
