[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Indian benchmark indices opened flat on Monday, as gains in financial stocks were offset by losses in IT shares, amid weak global sentiment following Moody’s downgrade of the U.S. government’s credit rating on Friday. The BSE Sensex shed 60.79, or 0.07%, to open at 82,269.80, while the NSE Nifty advanced 3.05 points, or 0.01%, to open at 25,022.85.

As IT firms earn a sizable portion of their revenue from the U.S., the Nifty IT index slipped 0.8%. In contrast, the broader markets outperformed, with the more domestically focused Nifty Smallcap 100...

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Synopsis Around the same time last year, everyone was talking of how EVs would change the automobile industry. Then came the post-IPO performance of Ola, leading to an expectation reset on the street. Now, the question: Does Ola’s performance after listing and the controversies over its business model impact the transformation that EVs are bringing about? The answer is no. Unfortunately, though, when a marquee player like Ola is hit, other players who, in fact, have bigger stakes in the whole EV ecosystem, are also impacted. So, ensure that you don’t end up selling good stocks without rhyme or reason. When a sector goes through a transformation, there are some very visible companies which emerge as flagbearers. Then there are some that do not immediately come to mind as far as the sector is concerned, but are, in fact, impacted positively by the change. On the face of it, the EV ecosystem is about auto and auto ancillary companies. But th...

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Representational Image Synopsis The year was 2016. At a time most of its peers were wondering how they could adapt to survive the EV transformation in the auto sector, this auto ancillary had not only made the pivot but had actually switched to becoming an EV OEM. That year, it launched its first electric bus! In addition, today, as rivals are worrying about US tariffs, this company is doubling down on India and select international markets through a mix of aggressive tender wins, strategic JVs, and capital infusion from global institutions. This series on auto ancillary companies works with the assumption that, from the whole set of AA companies, some multibagger stocks will emerge. And some companies in this space risk going bankrupt. The sixth company in our series on auto ancillaries that are adapting (or not) to the electric vehicle (EV) transformation in the auto industry stands quite apart from its peers. Alongside adapting to the ...
