Watch the full conversation here:
Here are the edited excerpts from the conversation:
Subash: Can I make a fresh entry in LT Foods?
Gaurang Shah: I don’t cover the stock. Agro stocks, in general, succumb under pressure due to government policies. Look at auto stocks like Ashok Leyland. Financial sector stocks Federal Bank and L&T Financial Holdings look better.
Manohar: In which stocks should I invest in to buy a bike in one year? I already hold shares of NCC and NBCC at average prices of Rs 99 and Rs 78, respectively.
Shah: Next one year is difficult to make decent returns in equity market as state elections and general elections are lining up. If time horizon is extended to 18-24 months; NBCC will take a longer time for return. Stocks like NCC, L&T Financial Holdings, Ashok Leyland and Federal Bank look attractive in the long run.
Yash: I have bought 100 shares of Tata Motors at Rs 260 levels. What is your long-term view?
Shah: We are optimistic on Tata Motors. We have set a target of around Rs 445 for 2.5-3 years time horizon.
Rangarajan Balakrishnan: What is your view on Bandhan Bank for 90 days?
Abhijit Phatak: It has been consolidating. It can reach Rs 700-750 levels as long as it doesn’t go below Rs 600-610 levels.
Girish Patil: Which pharma stock should I invest in? And, what should my broad duration?
Shah: Negative news of one stock drags the whole sector down. However, it has been benefiting from a falling rupee. Aurobindo Pharma, Glenmark, Lupin, Cipla and Natco are some of the investment ideas.
Viewer: I have bought Torrent Power at Rs 268. What is your view for the next three months?
Phatak: It has to close above Rs 275-278 levels. If that mark is reached, it can go towards Rs 300. The investor can hold it with a stop-loss of Rs 240.
Analyst disclosures: Both analysts don’t hold any stock that were discussed today.
