14:31 (IST) 8 Jul 2022 Hitting the nail on right themes: Is it time to revisit the focused equity category?
There are a few fundamental truths about investing, and one of them is that diversification is good for your portfolio. Diversification is simply spreading your portfolio investments across multiple asset classes and strategies such that sharp negative movements in any one investment do not have an inordinately high impact on your portfolio risk and returns. Indeed, diversification helps you mitigate the overall risk in equity investing and ensures that you witness stable returns over the long-term. However, have you ever wondered how the really wealthy get so rich? It is primarily through concentrated exposure.

12:06 (IST) 8 Jul 2022 Inflation may clock in at 7%
We expect the June CPI release scheduled for release next week to be steady at 7.0% y/y, as several factors offset each other. Imported inflation remains the key driver of higher prices, but we expect tax cuts, RBI rate hikes and signs of stabilising food prices to anchor inflation in coming months.

11:41 (IST) 8 Jul 2022 Top stock picks ahead of Q1 results
“Q1 is an important quarter as the true inflationary impact on Corporate India’s bottom line will be visible. Further, the Q1 is usually a seasonally weak quarter and last year’s Q1 results were impacted by the COVID wave. So rather than QoQ/ YoY comparison, keeping an eye on the management commentary about the growth outlook and inflation impact would be more important. Nevertheless, we are positive about Banking, Automobile, Capital Goods, and Infrastructure stocks. Our top picks are SBI Ltd, ICICI Bank Ltd, Tata Motors Ltd, Jamna Auto Industries Ltd, Siemens Ltd, Thermax Ltd, HG Infra Ltd, PNC Infra Ltd, and PSP Projects Ltd,” said Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart.
11:20 (IST) 8 Jul 2022 ICICI Lombard share price may rally 10%, Credit Suisse initiates coverage with ‘Outperform’ rating
ICICI Lombard General Insurance’s share price has tumbled more than 9% so far this year, largely in line with the headline indices. The stock has de-rated with growth deceleration, rising competition, and lower ROEs, said analysts at Credit Suisse. The global brokerage firm has initiated the coverage of ICICI Lombard General Insurance and is bullish on the stock. “The stock has derated from long-term mean of 40x fwd earnings to 25x currently. While the delayed ROE recovery warrants a discount to long-term multiple, we believe execution on growth and health franchise scale-up will drive re-rating for the company,” Credit Suisse said.

09:56 (IST) 8 Jul 2022 Present rally is driven partly by hopes of softening inflation
“The recovery in Nifty and Nifty Midcap by 6% and 10 % respectively from their recent lows indicates the resilience of the markets and its potential to scale newer heights under a favorable macro construct. The present rally is driven partly by expectations that given the steady decline in commodity prices inflation will start showing a declining trend enabling central banks to go a bit slow on hiking rates, and partly by short covering. It is quite probable that central banks may not tighten policy as much as the market feared earlier. If emerging data indicates the possibility of a soft landing for the US economy, the rally may gather momentum. Therefore, commodity prices have to be closely watched,” said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.

08:28 (IST) 8 Jul 2022 F&O Outlook: Nifty may head to 16500 if it breaks 16200; traders advised to trade with positive bias
Post last week’s expiry, we witnessed some volatility the previous Friday due to negative news flows in the Oil & Gas sector resulting in a sharp correction in the index heavyweights such as Reliance and ONGC which dragged the Nifty towards 15500. However, we did not witness any short formations in the index and infact, the Bank Nifty index relatively outperformed and lifted the markets higher. Post that recovery, stock markets gained strength gradually which was mainly due to a combination of short-covering and fresh long formations in Nifty. The Bank Nifty index witnessed fresh long formations leading to relative outperformance during the week.

Prabhudas Lilladher expects healthy revenue growth of 4% sequentially CC given ramp up of strong order book won in earlier quarter.
