Contradictions are part of the market, but there are times when it is extremely important to understand how to manage those contradictions. What is the contradiction in the markets today ? Desire to buy and valuations. As the political dust settles and things go back to normal, desire to buy midcap stocks is once again high and the contradiction is that valuations which have been at elevated levels are inching only higher as the stock prices built in any positive news very sharply. The trouble is that if one does not invest then FOMO gets triggered and if one gets into stocks which are moving upward due to narrative then the risk of what happened in March this year becomes high for the portfolio. What is the solution, more check and balances, invest with a long term time frame so that in the corrective phase, there is no reason to sell in panic. ...Less

While at this point of time, there are many reasons to be bullish. Right from the result of state elections to GDP numbers to trends in oil prices to US bond yields.

It is after a long period of time, that mid-cap stocks have seen some correction. All those investors who have high exposure to mid-caps in their portfolio have probably gone through two different emotions. Should I sell? Should I buy more? For all those who have gone through these emotions. Let the market be volatile, don't make volatile decisions. Corrections are part of any market and especially when valuations are high, the frequency and magnitude of correction will be higher. For all those who are looking to deploy more money and are focussed on mid caps, it would be better to put more checks and balances, both qualitative and quantitative and be selective in buying stocks. More importantly, even after putting in all the efforts of checks and balances, be ready to see a short term drawn down in the value of your portfolio, because if there is a deep correction in the markets, mid-cap stocks tend to shed more weight. ...Less

Probably the debate on valuations is over or even if it is taking place, the majority has accepted that yes valuations are high but at the same time liquidity is also high which is ensuring that the street is under the control of bulls. Now there is enough historical evidence to show that valuations matter and justifications don't stand the test of time. Now to take care of the valuation factor, investors looking to invest in midcap space should just push the filter levels a bit higher and should look more closely at business and financial parameters before investing. Right from whether the trend in promoters shareholding to dividend track record to what is the debt situation. Some hard work will ensure that when the street gets into a mode of correction, probability and yes only probability of relatively less drawdown in portfolio value. ...Less

For all those investors whose portfolio is titled in favour of the mid-caps need to do two things in current market conditions.

How does one put checks and balances? Simple, have a look at fundamentals and it is not very tough, having a look at some of the critical ratios like ROE and ROCE would help in avoiding silly mistakes which are common in bullish markets. ...Less

There is no way one can fight with liquidity, if it is going to mid caps and they are moving up irrespective of valuations or quality of stocks one cannot argue. But the only thing which as an investor one can do is to be careful when taking exposure to this segment of the market. Stay away from stocks where there is a narrative that this sector will do well because of XYZ reasons. At this point of time there is no dearth of tips floating in whatsapp group and telegram channels. But there is enough evidence in history to show that more than anything else, it is time to use checks and balances while making investment decisions. ...Less

With the elections behind them, bulls are back in the game with more confidence. If there is no big issue which comes from the global market, there is a high probability that we are going to see some upward movement in all segments of the market. Because it is mid-caps which attract more attention as the rally gets broad based, the chances of the accidents are also high in this space. Investing in mid-cap stocks requires a balanced approach. A balance of ability to take risk and combining it risk management and a long-term perspective. Also using non-financial parameters to manage risk, a management of an infrastructure company, which has seen it all, right from a phase where infrastructure was considered a buzz word to a phase where it was considered a bad word. ...Less

Just do a small test. What would have been your reaction if nifty would have touched the 25,000 mark? Would you have felt more bullish or would have felt that because the nifty has moved so high, how far it can go and postpone your buying decision. The problem with looking at an index and feeling bullish or bearish is the fact that the index is a collection, so if you felt scared then probably when nifty touched 20,000 the same feeling might have gripped you and missed an opportunity. If you felt over bullish and invested in an FMCG stock probably your returns are suboptimal in the journey of Nifty from 20,000 to 25,000. The reason to be bullish has to be growth of the economy and the reason for selecting a stock has to be good business, management and growth of the company. Don't be afraid to be bullish but do a bit of simple work and enjoy the growth of the Indian economy. ...Less

Given the way global markets have panned out and how the geopolitical developments are shaping up, one cannot rule out the probability that for some more trading sessions the market might stay in a volatile mode. Now there are two things one can do in this volatile market, either worry and make assumptions and go by the narrative of correction that is bound to pour if the corrections get stronger. Second thing which can be done is ignore these short term noises which have come in the past and will come in future also. Just focus on the underlying business, any positive change if that is happening in the sector and check the quality of the management by doing some simple things and holding the stock for some time rather than reacting to all the things happening across the globe. These noises are temporary, it is business and management which is permanent and matters to the street. ...Less

One of the common things which can be heard these days is “ Nifty and sensex has moved so high, how far it will move”. Now there is no counter to such statements because of the fact that corrections can come any time. But there is another fact that this statement was equally applicable when Nifty was at 20,000 and sensex was at 70,000. Now this will be applicable when nifty crosses 26,000 and sensex moves above 90,000. So, if your investing decisions are going to be based on what is happening to nifty and sensex then probably one would miss out on the India growth story. The better way to do this is to look at individual stocks, put more stringent filters while selecting the stocks and then ignore what is happening to nifty because at the end of the day, nifty is just an index and not the market. ...Less

Now that sensex has turned negative for 2024, focus will shift on how the returns. The narrative will focus on how returns and how the valuations are expensive. Yes, there is no doubt that valuations are expensive, they were even higher a month back, when everyone was saying cheers to mid-cap. At this point of time the question whether “ I should sell or buy more” needs to be replaced by “what business do I own and whether that business is going to grow or not” The reason why it is important to change the question itself is the fact that it business on the ground which will make the difference between in final returns. If by next month, markets are rallying once again, then all this talk about valuation will go away in thin air. ...Less

While there are phases, where they come under pressure, the fact remains that the last ten years best returns have come from mid-cap stocks. So, probably if one is not owning then the return even in the longest of the bull run will not be very high. One of the reasons why mid-cap stocks are able to do well when an economy like India grows at a faster pace is that mid-sized companies are able to improve their operating matrix. Whether it is the cost of capital which comes down, new markets getting opened, it is mid sized companies operating in certain sectors which see faster growth. But the bigger question is which stocks to own, when to buy them and what should be the horizon for which they should be bought and last but not least there has to be one reason why one is buying that particular stock. It could be market size, company being the leader or even a company having a library which no one can replicate. ...Less

At this point of time, while the tailwinds of liquidity are pushing all the mid-cap higher, there are some stocks where additional tailwinds of sectoral growth are also present. The sector is growing at a pace which is higher than many other sectors and the nature of the business is such that it is likely to grow at a higher rate. The reason why it is important to look at whether sectoral growth tailwinds are present or not is due to higher valuations. Premiums can only be justified if there is a reasonable probability of higher growth in future also. ...Less

If looking for investing in a mid-cap, which would be a better stock to own. A stock which after a period of four years has once again paid dividend last year or a stock which in the last five years have missed dividend only in FY 2020, which was covid year. Yes, second one, but most investors don't look at these things which in the long run matter both for the real business and finally the stock price. Similarly, there are many small things which need to be looked at when investing in a mid cap stocks for very simple reason that market is sitting with a good amount of gain and short corrective move which may come largely because of global reason or just a simple profit booking move may hit midcap more than anyone else. So, while being bullish and increasing your exposure just do a little bit of work so that one is able to avoid anxiety in time of corrective phase of the market. ...Less

Few months back when the nifty was forming a new high there was an event risk in terms of election results and valuations were high. Now once again nifty and other indices are forming new highs. While the event risk is over the valuation risk is still present. One should not be afraid of admitting the fact, as the indices move upward, the desire to participate is going to increase as the fear of missing out (FOMO) is bound to play out. So while being bullish, be more cautious and be more agile when it comes to taking decisions. It would be better that while looking at growth stocks one also focuses on reducing the risk by taking a hard look at some numbers which are critical indicators. ...Less

The reaction of the street to the increase in both short and long capital gains tax is stronger because it was not expected by any section of the market. Specially, mid caps segment which has been sitting on big gains is the one which is facing more cuts. Today and for may be for some more time this increase would impact the sentiment, but in the long term it is the economy and earning which matters to the street. Now the question is whether the budget is a step in the right direction when it comes to the economy. Forget economists, even anyone on the street has any doubt about it. So while investing, ignore the short term noise and focus on the fundamentals of the company and track record of the promoters. ...Less

Unlike last quarter of 2023, when nifty and sensex used to witness correction and mid-cap index was able move higher. Since the start of 2024, the mid-cap index is also participating in the correction, clearly indicating that some profit booking is taking place in this segment of the market. Having said that, if one looks at the flow of money to the mutual funds, a good amount of it is still coming in funds which are focussed on mid or small cap. There is no way one can fight with liquidity, if it is going to mid caps and they are moving up irrespective of valuations or quality of stocks one cannot argue. But the only thing which as an investor one can do is to be careful when taking exposure to this segment of the market. Stay away from stocks where there is a narrative that this sector will do well because of ABCD reasons or the company will get such and such orders worth this much. There is enough evidence in history to show that more than anything else, checks and balances are most important at this point of time, while making investment decisions. ...Less

The problem with looking at an index and feeling bullish or bearish is the fact that the index is a collection of stocks which in all probability has little correlation with a stock you have in your portfolio. If you are feeling bullish because the nifty is touching and checking what has happened to the value of the portfolio, there is a high probability that you may get disappointed. The reason to be bullish has to be growth of the economy and the reason for selecting a stock has to be good business, management and growth of the company. Don't be afraid to be bullish but do a bit of simple work and enjoy the fruits of growth of the Indian economy. ...Less

In the last few sessions, there has been an uneasy calm on the street. At this point of time when the street is juggling with its own fear and anxiety because of what might happen in the global markets. The mid-caps segment of the market is witnessing some profit booking/ rational shifting/ consolidation. A part of that is happening because of the fact that the street is reacting and adjusting to Q1 numbers. The way stocks are moving, there is no one trend in mid-cap space. So there are many sub segments which are getting formed in mid-cap space and given the mix of head and tailwinds. So, one will have to do two things, one be bullish but be more selective and focus on managing risks and hedge for short term and think from long term perspective. ...Less
