In today’s episode, Parthiv Shah, director, TRACOM Stock Brokers, shares his views on Venky’s India, Cadila Healthcare, Vedanta, the best stocks with which to start a systematic investment plan, and investing in the metal industry, among others.

Watch the full conversation here:

Here are edited excerpts from the conversation:

Nikhil Gandhe: I am looking for a short-term view on Cadila Healthcare I bought at Rs 380, and MCX at Rs 810.

Parthiv Shah: The current entry point for Cadila is good, and it is a great long-term investment. Hold on to the stocks.

For MCX, there has been no revival in its market growth. I would not suggest a buy on MCX right now, neither short-term nor long-term.

M Kumar: I hold 4,000 shares of Future Consumer at Rs 59. What is your view?

Parthiv Shah: This company is extremely expensive. I would recommend one to focus on FMCG companies where the cash-flow run rate is flowing, instead of Future Consumer.

Deep Joshi: I have 100 shares of Vedanta at Rs 247, and 200 shares of Hindalco at Rs 231. I need a view on this.

Parthiv Shah: Vedanta looks good and is a good stock to hold on. The metal industries are currently in the correction process and the prices are holding high.

Neetesh Dohare: Should I increase position in Maruti Suzuki, HDFC Bank or Pidilite Industries for long term?

Parthiv Shah: These are some excellent stocks. I would divide the money into all the three. But, I would recommend one invests in Pidilite. It is a good brand and looks healthy to park the additional money.

Saurabh Pathak: Which among BEL, Capital First, Federal Bank, LIC Housing, NBCC, Tata Motors, UPL, and Va Tech Wabag is a good long-term investment?

Parthiv Shah: Investors need to be careful with VA Tech Wabag. Of the other companies, Capital First looks interesting after the corrections and has a good track record. The merger with IDFC bank will create a long-term value for the company. UPL has massively corrected. One should hold on to it at current levels with a long-term view.

Radhakrishna Badmi: I need a view on Varroc Engineering Ltd. Should I hold or exit?

Parthiv Shah: With a long-term view, this is a quality company in terms of management and their outreach. I would suggest one to hold on to the stocks.

Sujata Naik: I am holding 12,350 shares of Ashok Leyland at Rs 140. I am incurring a loss and would like your fundamental view. Also, do i qualify for the dividend payout?

Parthiv Shah: I would suggest one to hold on to the stocks for at least a year and a half.

Ankit Mishra: I have bought 1,000 shares of MGL at an average rate of Rs 1,005 for long term. What should I do?

Parthiv Shah: Hold on to the stock and wait for the earnings.

Alex: Here’s someone looking for a long-term view on NCC with 300 shares at Rs 101 each at the time of investing.

Parthiv Shah: I think one should sell, given elections are coming up, these infrastructure realms are risky.

Shaurya Bajaj: I would like to get a long or short term view on Rural Electrification Corp?

Parthiv Shah: One should not select these companies based on yields. Private sector companies like Capital First and L&T Fin Holdings are doing much better and are a safer bet.

Omkar Nimbalkar: I bought Venky’s India at Rs 2,530. Should I wait or cover up my loss?

Parthiv Shah: I think one should wait till the first quarter results. Exit if the numbers do not match the fundamentals.

Ujjwal Kumar: Can I average UPL at current levels or is some more downside expected? Kindly suggest a stock that is fundamentally good or shall I book my losses. My buy price is Rs 790.

Parthiv Shah: The stock has corrected well. The stock seems bullish in the long term. One could start buying the stock for the short term.

Rishabh Tiwari: I have bought 40,000 shares of NBCC at an average rate of Rs 105 for long term. What should I do?

Parthiv Shah: One should wait and see the results of the next two quarters, wait for at least six months and then make a decision. Till then, hold on to the stocks.

Siva Kumar: ​I am planning to start my SIPs. Please suggest a good stock for long-term investment?

Parthiv Shah: Nestle is a good stock for SIP investment and with their plans for the Indian markets it is a good bet. Accumulate such stocks every month and these can be bought in a good quantity.

Karthik Sankaranarayanan: I have bought Shakti Pumps at Rs 400. What should I do?

Parthiv Shah: I would suggest one to wait for the earnings, figures and announcements from the sector concerned. Make a decision based on these figures.
