moneycontrol is India’s leading financial and business portal who does short (roughly 4 minute) Stock of the Day video pitches about Indian stock picks.
Indian stocks featured in their July Stock of the Day videos (from newest to oldest) and covered in this post include:
Senco Gold, CIE Automotive, Navneet Education, KIMS Hospitals, Dabur India, State Bank of India (SBI), PCBL, MapMyIndia (CE Info Systems), Nazara Technologies, Faze Three Ltd, Titan Company, Motherson Sumi Wiring India, Aptus Value Housing Finance India, Cochin Shipyard, Control Print, Sumitomo Chemicals India, 360 One Wealth, Transport Corporation of India & Jindal Steel & Power
Last week, India got an upgrade at the expense of China:
Morgan Stanley upgrades India to overweight, downgrades China (moneycontrol) August 2023
- This upgrade comes just four months after Morgan Stanley previously elevated India from ‘underweight’ to ‘equal weight’ on March 31, citing factors such as reduced valuation premium and the resilient economy.
- Furthermore, the brokerage has also made specific sector upgrades for India, including industrials, financials, and consumer discretionary stocks, which are now rated as ‘overweight’. It expects these sectors to be major beneficiaries of India’s ongoing structural growth story.
- Within its Asia-Pacific Ex-Japan focus list, Morgan Stanley has added Indian stocks like Larsen & Toubro (L&T) (NSE: LT / BOM: 500510) and Maruti Suzuki (NSE: MARUTI / BOM: 532500), a, while removing Titan Company (NSE: TITAN / BOM: 500114) from the list. Both Larsen & Toubro and Maruti Suzuki have also been included in the GEM (Global Emerging Markets) focus list.
This probably means the international fund herd will start looking at Indian stocks again and they may need to look beyond the usual suspects to include some of the lesser known stocks mentioned in this post and our previous moneycontrol compilation posts (see May and June).
And then there is this:
Morgan Stanley cites opening up of equities to retirement funds as a key trigger for stock surge (moneycontrol) August 2023
- In 2022, when foreign institutional investors sold around Rs 1.27 lakh crore worth of equities, domestic institutional investors poured in Rs 2.67 lakh crore into markets, thus creating a floor.
- India allowed retirement funds to invest in equities for the first time in 2015. This was similar to what happened in 1980 in the United States when 401(k) retirement plans were allowed to buy stocks. According to Morgan Stanley, this has created a reliable domestic source of risk capital.
