Anand Tandon, Independent Market Analyst, says “Even if you had assumed that before this fall there was only a 10% upside, now there is a 15% to 17% upside. So, there is no particular reason that one should not be looking to buy in now, especially if you have a bullish view. Of course, if you are sceptical about the market, that is a different point of view altogether, but I would still think that a bank like HDFC Bank should be part of your core portfolio and there is not much that you can do other than to trade off at the margin. What to do with HDFC Bank now with the weakness that the stock is seeing? Anand Tandon: We are looking at an issue where the deposit growth is slower than what the market was anticipating and more importantly, it means that the credit growth, which is actually doing quite well, has to be slowed down a bit. But on the other hand, the extra capital that they have had to keep is now peaked out and therefore they will start to come down. The fall that they had already predicted, which had been forecast by the management that the ROE will have to fall by at least 50 basis points, has already started to play out. So, while it may take a little while longer for it to go back to a sensible growth number, I would still argue that you will get a reasonable double-digit growth from HDFC Bank going forward and this kind of fall, we keep hearing there is a lot of money on the sideline.

Saurabh Mukherjea, Founder, Marcellus Investment Managers, says the first big difference is we are optimistic that the private sector capex story revs into high gear. Private sector capex really has not done much in India since FY19. All the heavy lifting has been done by government capex, which has roughly tripled by our estimates since FY19. Private sector capex plays are very different from public sector capex plays and therefore in our portfolio, we have names such as RSI, RHI Magnesita, which is a play on the steel demand in India continuing to run up and all the steel plants in India needing more capacity to be installed. Similarly, Grindwell Norton is a play on private sector capex as an abrasive provider. The public sector capex beneficiaries would be cement, EPC companies. What about some of the compounders in the portfolio, the likes of Trent as well, fifth Tata Group company to top the Rs 1 lakh crore market cap? How do you see that as a performer along with Astral? Saurabh Mukherjea: In retail, what has happened in Indian apparel retailing is very interesting. It has become a very demanding market because of the rise of online and how online and social media have shaped the tastes of the Indian consumers. If you are a run-of-the-mill apparel retailer in India, not on the cutting edge of fashion, you do not have sharp pricing, I think you are finding life very difficult and we will see that in the Q3 results.

Remaining should be largely in small caps and only very high conviction should be held in mid-caps,” says Varun Saboo, Head — Equities, Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers.

But, the voice is getting louder both domestic and global that these valuations are unsustainable. What is your take? Varun Saboo: We are definitely in one of the strongest runs, something which hardly anyone would have envisaged. However, in terms of valuations, there are a lot of midcaps that are trading rich and leave little room for upsides.
