Beating 96% of peers, this fund has a bullish stance on hospital stocks

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] India’s hospital stocks are set to benefit from the expected growth in healthcare spending, according to one of the country’s top-performing funds. The country will witness a rapid acceleration in the number of people reaching retirement age in the next two decades, Satish Ramanathan, chief investment officer for equities at JM Financial Asset Management Ltd., said in an interview. “People will spend on healthcare at an unprecedented rate.” Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government recently approved expanding a free health-insurance plan for all citizens aged 70 and above. The plan may prompt some regional governments to introduce similar measures, providing a boost to the sector, according to Ramanathan, who oversees more than $1 billion. Bloomberg Some of the biggest players in the industry — Max Healthcare Institute Ltd. and Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Ltd. have gained 43% and 26%, respectively, in 2024. The momentum will likely contin...

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Shares of Bharti Airtel will be in focus on Tuesday after the company prepaid dues worth Rs 8,465 crore to the government, partially settling its outstanding spectrum fees from a 2016 auction, the telecom carrier announced on Monday. “Bharti Airtel, one of India’s leading telecommunications service providers, today said that it has prepaid Rs 8,465 crore to the Department of Telecom (Government of India) against spectrum acquired in 2016.

Image

Monday Blues! Sensex plummets over 1,000 points, Nifty below 26K

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Domestic benchmark equity indices, Sensex and Nifty50, were trading with heavy losses on Monday amid mixed cues from regional markets, weighed down by index heavyweights Reliance Industries, Infosys, TCS, and ICICI Bank. The BSE Sensex was down 1,009.13 points, or 1.18%, trading at 84,562.72, while the Nifty50 dropped 284.95 points, or 1.09%, to 25,894 at around 11.50 am. The share market also turned hesitant on Monday due to the conflict in the Middle East. Continued Israeli attacks in Lebanon have increased geopolitical uncertainty. Meanwhile, the week is packed with major U.S. economic data including a payrolls report that could decide whether the Federal Reserve delivers another outsized rate cut in November. U.S. data on Friday also showed that consumer spending increased moderately in August, while inflation pressures continued to abate, further lifting expectations of an outsized interest rate cut at the Federal Reserve's Novem...

Irrigation sector stocks: It is macro changes that bring long-term investment opportunities: 4 stocks from not much talked-about irrigation and allied sectors

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Solar panels used to power a water pump and irrigation system in Solawata, Rajasthan. Synopsis Big wealth creation does not happen in already well-discovered, well-researched sectors. It happens in sectors that are not in the news, not much talked-about on the street. Sectors where macro changes are taking place in the overall demand – and that demand is being met. In the last few years, both due to policy pushes and changes in the underlying nature of the business, more money is being spent on increasing agricultural productivity. One part of the effort has been focused on better utilization of water. That is where companies involved in the irrigation process have seen a gradual increase in demand. But anything to do with agriculture is slow and gradual. So, these stocks are suited for long-term investors. When everyone is looking for short-term opportunities, macro sectoral trends tend to get ignored. Trends that could have a long-term ...

Large-cap stocks to buy: Investing more money in stocks? Long term or tactical approach? Maybe the second. 5 large-cap stocks which fit the bill at this time

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Synopsis To some our headline may appear confusing. When investing is all about the long-term, why even think of a tactical approach? But given that valuations are high or even in bubble territory, it’s best to be tactical when pumping fresh money into the market. When we say tactical, what we mean is: Consider sectors and stocks that will benefit due to the changing global environment. Invest money with clear thought about why that stock is being bought and when one will exit. This is not about “Buy” and “Hold”. This is about “Buy, Review, and Realign”. When buying a stock, it would be good to ask yourself some questions. Why am I buying this particular stock? When or what will make me sell the stock? Clarity on these questions will help sort out many problems and probably lead to better returns. These questions are particularly important when valuations are not your friend and you are thinking of increasing exposure to equities. Why are...

New BSE & NSE transaction fee, FII action among 8 factors likely to drive market this week

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Nifty hit fresh intra-day record highs on each trading session last week ending with weekly gains of 1.5% led by banks and pharma stocks. When markets resume trading on Monday, a host of important domestic and global events lined-up during the week are likely to impact them. On Friday, benchmark indices took a breather as BSE Sensex declined 264 points or 0.31%, settling at 85,571. Nifty ended with a marginal loss of 37.10 points or 0.14% at 26,178.95. "The Nifty took a breather after a few days of continuous gains though the sentiment remains strong as the index continues to stay above important moving averages," Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities said. In his view, the strength will likely persist as long as it remains above 25,900 and a fresh rally could begin above 26,300 leading the 50-stock index towards 26,600. It will be a holiday shortened week as domestic stock markets will remain closed on October 2,...
