The harsh portfolio!

As of today, I have sold my stake in NALCO. Although, alumina is nowhere close to its peak prices, aluminum prices have played out very well. My assumptions about NALCO was that by FY25, there will be a cyclical upturn in aluminum prices. When that happens, sales > 12’000 cr. I want to sell at P/sales > 2 i.e. 24’000 cr. (~128 share price). The current price of >90 offers <10% IRR, hence the sell.

Updated portfolio is below. Cash remains high at 25%.
