Stock Market Update | Devang Mehta of Centrum Wealth Management on sectors

“We are not big fans of telecom sector, but for example, Reliance now at a 52-week low; probably all the businesses firing on right cylinders be it old economy businesses, the new economy as well as the retail business. Most of these companies, most of these segments are doing very well. My sense is that if market needs leadership, there must be maybe banking stocks or IT stocks or something like Reliance, which are now lagging to take the leadership role once the FII flows resume,” says Devang Mehta, Head-Equity Advisory, Centrum Wealth Management.

Share Market Update | InCred PMS' Aditya Sood on market sell-off

"Obviously, US banks going down gives you some bit of a jitter, basically. But what we have seen is that the Indian economy is fairly insulated, both from a banking standpoint, and it all depends upon, how quickly the Fed steps up in terms of ring-fencing the banks, which are troubled so, obviously, we are in a phase of heightened volatility. Ideally speaking India has held up well, despite this sell-off or this continuation of the trend of FII selling, I think so, this continues to be a market wherein we have seen very large divergence between the headline indices and the performance of small and mid-cap companies particularly small-cap. I think, this is an excellent environment to just focus on your set of companies and build a portfolio, I think, so, this too shall pass," says Aditya Sood, Portfolio Manager, InCred PMS.

Stock Market Update | SMIFS' Sharad Avasthi on ITC 

"ITC historically beyond the FMCG part, I think the demerger is the bigger trigger that can happen as and when it happens if it happens, that could be a big trigger for the company. But otherwise, on a status quo if the business is to continue we are expecting a 15-16 percent kind of CAGR over the next two years. So considering 25 to 36 times I think somewhere around Rs 450-460 is the fair value so for that target I think one can continue to hold," says Sharad Avasthi, Head- PCG Research, SMIFS.
