We are in a bull market and the recent correction is an opportunity to buy, Ashish Chaturmohta, Head of Derivatives and Technical Analysis, Sanctum Wealth Management said in an interview with Moneycontrol’s Kshitij Anand.
We have seen consumption as a theme dominating in the recent years, but now along with this, there is a capex cycle revival expected which has been delayed for the last few years. Cement, construction, steel and capital goods will be the beneficiaries, he added.
Here are edited excerpts from that interview:
Q) The selling continued in the past week as well pushing the Nifty50 below 15,000-14,800 levels. What led to the price action?
A) In the near future, the rise in the US Bond Yields will be on the back of increasing inflation, this is despite the dovish comments by the US Federal Reserve.
In India, the resurgence of COVID-19 cases is worrying the market with the possibility of large-scale lockdowns, which could dent the economic recovery.
Q) A spike in US Bond Yields spooked markets. Do you see this as a sign of caution or an opportunity for investors?
A) We have seen consumption as a theme dominating in the recent years, but now along with this, there is a capex cycle revival expected which has been delayed for the last few years.
Cement, construction, steel and capital goods will be the beneficiaries.
Thus, we are in a bull market and the correction has provided an opportunity to buy for investors sitting on the sidelines and waiting for a dip.
Q) Despite the muted price-performance, FIIs continue to remain buyers so where is the selling coming from?
A) Yes, FIIs continue to remain buyers, while the selling is seen from domestic institutions, HNIs, and other value investors.
Nifty has seen a 100% rise from last March's lows, thus rising US Bond yields and worry regarding the second COVID-19 wave is leading domestic investors to take some profits off the table for the time being.
Q) FY21 is coming to an end, what is your outlook on markets for FY22?
A) The uptrend is expected to continue in FY22. Nifty might see correction, but the broader trend is up and is moving towards 16,000-16,500 levels.
Q) The vehicle scrappage policy is finally out. What will be its impact on sectors? Any stocks that are likely to benefit the most?
A) This is the most awaited one as it will flush out old, unfit, and polluting vehicles. In the long run, it will improve the fuel efficiency of vehicles, boost localization, increase the availability of low-cost materials for industries and increase GST revenue.
This boost will provide business to Auto OMC and Auto Ancillary, Steel companies, etc. We recommend Mahindra and Mahindra, Minda Industries, and MSTC Limited under this sector.
Q) Any trading ideas for the next 3-4 weeks?
A) Here is a list of top trading ideas for the next 3-4 weeks: ICICI Bank: Target Rs 700
In the banking sector, we recommend ICICI Bank, which is a leading private sector bank. The loan growth is showing a strong revival in wholesale, SME, and retail with disbursement in many business segments crossing pre-COVID levels.
The rise in loan growth is led by festive demand, improving economic outlook, and a strong digital ecosystem built by the bank across business segments. We can expect levels of Rs 700 with support placed at Rs 540.
Due to the pandemic, the IT companies have registered a higher spend on cloud, security and digital transformation.
After Q3FY21, Infosys management increased its revenue guidance to 4.5-5% YoY CC (v/s 2-3% earlier) and margin guidance to 24-24.5% (v/s 23-24% earlier).
This bullish guidance was reiterated after Accenture posted its Q2FY21 results, which saw 5 percent YoY revenue growth ahead of its guided range of 1-4%.
We like Infosys for the near-term target of Rs 1,600 levels, and support is placed at Rs 1,250.
Polycab is one of the India’s leading manufacturers of cables and wires and allied products. Recently, they launched a wide range of consumer electrical products like fans, switches, switchgear, LED lights and luminaries, solar inverters and pumps.
The next level for this stock is seen at Rs 1,650 with support placed at Rs 1,200.
Amber Enterprises:
Amber Enterprises has a 24 percent market share in room air conditioners. It is poised to gain from production-linked incentive schemes.
The stock has seen correction and the uptrend is likely to continue towards Rs 4,000 with support at Rs 2,900.
