The next update will be done after we incorporate the December Quarter results.<\/p>\n<p>We are seeing a recovery in growth in the coming year so we may see an upward revision in our estimates. This can bring down overvaluation down by ~5-10%.<\/p>\n<p>As of date, the average upside of our coverage universe is likely to be closer to 10% CAGR over the next 5 years basis based on a current estimate. Similar to Nifty, the average upside of our universe is low due to few stocks showing &lt; 0% CAGR while the rest showing &gt; 15% CAGR upside potential.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/investmentshastra\/how-has-moneyworks4me-performed-in-the-past\/\"><strong>MoneyWorks4me performance<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0was strong last year as we saw the market recognized undervaluation in pockets where we were invested.

We continue to remain positive on existing companies that are delivering good growth.\u00a0<strong>We are benefiting from early investments in building materials, industrials. Optimistic outlook on real estate and increase in order flows has led to a rally in infra and infra-related stocks. We have added stocks in the industrials segment as we expect balance sheet strength to improve and cash flow growth will be better than past.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Stocks in\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/nse-index\/top-nse-it-companies-list\/\"><strong>IT<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/nse-index\/top-nse-pharma-companies-list\/\"><strong>Pharma<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0have moved up ahead of their earnings growth, we are reducing our allocation in the same.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We look at companies that have good earning triggers over the next 2 years.

This gives certainty of growth rather than plain anticipation.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend avoiding stocks\/sectors that have run up much ahead of their earnings growth over the last 3-4 years. <strong>We observe many small and mid-cap stocks have run ahead of valuation as non-institutional participation has led to excesses in few pockets. We reduced allocation to few mid and small caps where prices have run up ahead of earnings growth.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>In turn, we have shifted focus to Core stocks that have strong future prospects which will provide better downside protection. However, one has to keep return expectations moderate as valuations are no longer cheap but in the fair value zone. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We recommend treading cautiously in small caps where sales figures are below 2019 levels but may optically look at high growth today on a low base of 2020. We recommend using FY19-20 sales as a base while evaluating growth or valuation. (Compute P\/E ratio using EPS of 2019\/20, Compute P\/S ratio using Sales of 2019\/20).

However, the expectation is that economy will recover faster than before as lockdown opens up. We are seeing signs of turnaround by looking at volume growth\/capacity utilization\/inventory-sales ratio. Vaccination rate is another metric to track as it means faster normalization of economic activities.<\/p>\n<p>While Q1FY22 corporate earnings were a mixed bag there were a few upgrades, especially in the IT, Metals &amp; cement sectors. Autos &amp; Pharma were major disappointments. Real estate continued to witness strong up move. August saw the highest number of residential registrations in a decade. On the macroeconomic front, many high-frequency indicators are pointing towards month-on-month improvement. June quarter reported GDP number was better than estimates. Normalization of economic activities continued through the month of August &amp; Inflation for July also softened.<\/p>\n<p>This time opening up may not see a U-turn in discretionary spending, unlike last year which was linked to pent-up demand. We remain cautious in Consumer stocks including Auto, FMCG, and Durables. Also, fully priced valuations have kept us away from these sectors.<\/p>\n<p>Banking and financial services are again at the forefront to face the brunt of slow economic recovery. Leading private sector banks and NBFC both have warned of delinquencies over the next few quarters. We remain cautious and recommend owning only selective ones where we can estimate the worst-case scenario and still earn reasonable returns over the medium term. As the dark clouds get clear, we will see good wealth creation in banking stocks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Even if near-term risks galore on valuation and narrow recovery, we will not be perturbed by interim correction, if any. We are well past the recessionary period, any interim correction will be transitionary and see faster recovery.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>India\u2019s corporate debt profile is very good versus the world. Most sectors have few strong players and highly indebted companies are already written off. This reduces risks in the country and financial system.<\/p>\n<p>The Indian corporate sector is in the best position to gain pricing power and balance sheet strength. The majority of the sectors have seen consolidation. We are seeing this across sectors: Power, Telecom, Cement, Banks, NBFCs, Real Estate, building materials, Paper, pharma, capital goods, consumer durables, etc. This will give strong profitability for incumbents due to the high barrier to entry for the next few years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Primary markets are getting complacent about risks where businesses with a long gestation period to profitability are enjoying several multiples of bids. <\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"global\" style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Global Economy<\/h3>\n<p>Western countries are reporting better outlooks as vaccination is picking up pace. This can lead to economic recovery over the next 6 months. Large stimulus checks are handed over to citizens has led to cash flowing into bank accounts. As people get vaccinated, they will spend this on shopping and traveling. This will help in economic recovery. We are already seeing huge pent-up demand causing shortage and inflation. Tight logistics and raw material suppliers are causing a spike in commodity and widgets prices. It is still uncertain whether inflation is transitionary or structural.\u00a0As of now, it does look transitionary but it is most difficult to make macro forecasts and more so to benefit from it.<\/p>\n<p>There are signs of speculation in US primary and secondary markets and Cryptocurrencies. A lot of trading activity has led to an increase in leverage and higher trading volume.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>This is a risk to the market if not the economy. It may happen that the market comes off as the economy recovers as the benefit from fiscal stimulus will fade off.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Also, a new draft on widening the definition of corporate tax and tightening regulations around FAANG stocks can cause volatility. We are seeing regulatory tweaking by Chinese authorities in Chinese tech companies that serve large populations and control consumer data. We may see the snowballing effect on the global level which can impact stocks markets as technology companies are a dominant part of Global Indices.<\/p>\n<p>*There is always some risk but every risk doesn\u2019t materialize. It is important to keep an eye on risks but it may not require an action every time.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"faq\" style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Aggressive Investor:\u00a0<em>\u201cFew stocks are making big moves why are we investing cautiously or selectively?\u201d<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Today we are seeing run-up\u00a0<em>not-so-good<\/em>\u00a0quality stocks while quite a few Quality stocks are underperforming.

During this period Nifty was flat but more than 40% of stocks earned positive returns. Out of 185 large and mid-cap stocks (BSE Group A), 78 were positive, and more than half earned &gt;13% CAGR. Together these 78 stocks earned &gt;17% CAGR.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Now, this was the worst-case scenario where the market had a stellar bull run in 4 years preceding 2007.

We do not find any merit in second-guessing what\u2019s going to happen in the next 6 months-1 year.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"gridlove-popup-img\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/investmentshastra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/bse-sensex-annual-returns.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16832\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/investmentshastra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/bse-sensex-annual-returns.png\" alt=\"bse sensex annual returns\" width=\"605\" height=\"308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/investmentshastra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/bse-sensex-annual-returns.png 1816w, https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/investmentshastra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/bse-sensex-annual-returns-600x305.png 600w, https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/investmentshastra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/bse-sensex-annual-returns-1024x521.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/investmentshastra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/bse-sensex-annual-returns-150x76.png 150w, https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/investmentshastra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/bse-sensex-annual-returns-768x391.png 768w, https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/investmentshastra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/bse-sensex-annual-returns-1536x782.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/investmentshastra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/bse-sensex-annual-returns-270x137.png 270w, https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/investmentshastra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/bse-sensex-annual-returns-370x188.png 370w, https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/investmentshastra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/bse-sensex-annual-returns-740x377.png 740w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 605px) 100vw, 605px\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"gridlove-popup-img\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/investmentshastra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/nifty-50-5-year-rolling-returns.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16833\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/investmentshastra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/nifty-50-5-year-rolling-returns.png\" alt=\"nifty 50 5 year rolling returns\" width=\"605\" height=\"229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/investmentshastra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/nifty-50-5-year-rolling-returns.png 1273w, https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/investmentshastra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/nifty-50-5-year-rolling-returns-600x227.png 600w, https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/investmentshastra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/nifty-50-5-year-rolling-returns-1024x388.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/investmentshastra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/nifty-50-5-year-rolling-returns-150x57.png 150w, https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/investmentshastra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/nifty-50-5-year-rolling-returns-768x291.png 768w, https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/investmentshastra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/nifty-50-5-year-rolling-returns-270x102.png 270w, https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/investmentshastra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/nifty-50-5-year-rolling-returns-370x140.png 370w, https:\/\/www.moneyworks4me.com\/investmentshastra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/nifty-50-5-year-rolling-returns-740x280.png 740w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 605px) 100vw, 605px\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>By booking profits (term used by speculators, not investors), you will park funds in Fixed Income till market correction (We do not know when and how much). But chances are very high that Equity will beat Fixed income over 5 year period.<\/p>\n<p>This is the reason we recommend not to disturb the equity portion in your asset allocation. Changing your asset allocation will reduce long-term returns or missing out on the target corpus. If you have decided to stay with 60% Equity and 40% debt, you can rebalance but do not deviate much from 60% in Equity.
