Porinju Veliath: The Downfall of His Boldest Stock Call Porinju Veliath, the charismatic stock market maven whose predictions in the mid, small, and micro-cap spaces once enthralled investors and traders on Indian bourses, has seen his star fall faster than a penny stock in a rising bull market. That's the price you pay for excesses in the share market. 💢Remember GVK Power & Infrastructure? At Rs.6.34, it’s making new 52-week lows. Porinju, in his heyday, boldly forecasted a target of Rs.27/29. Alas, the stock barely touched Rs.17, despite his relentless endorsements on various business channels. Sure, it hit an all-time high of around Rs.80 some 15 years ago, but those glory days are long gone. 💢The Hyderabad - based power and infrastructure company GVK Power & Infrastructure, dabbling in power, roads, urban infrastructure, bio-science, hotels, and manufacturing, was once heralded by none other than Porinju Veliath as the next Rs.1,00,000 crore giant.

  Winning Strokes: Think Different   The Indian markets are on a roll, after the Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Union Budget 2024-25 which focused on employment, skilling, MSMEs, and the middle class.

The two very important development we witness in the budget 2024 are: 💢Provision of Rs 11.11 lakh crore (3.4% of GDP) for capital expenditure. 💢Aiming to reduce the fiscal deficit below 4.5% next year and and maintaining a declining central government debt-to-GDP ratio from 2026-27 onwards. Proposing an investment of Rs 10 lakh crore, including Rs.2.2 lakh crore in central assistance, over the next five years under PM Awas Yojana Urban 2.0 to address the housing needs of 1 crore urban poor and middle-class families. This is positive for the real estate companies which are into affordable housing. Post Budget 2024, the mutual fund managers...

JP Associates Ltd (Rs. 8.50) and Buyer Freeze Syndrome JP Associates Ltd has been enjoying a series of Buyer Freezes lately. Interstingly, when stocks surge, everyone becomes a market sage armed with lofty targets coupled with an array of postive vibes.  But when they stumble or when the share starts hitting continuous Seller Freezes, it's all doom and gloom out there in the bourses — a phenomenon Rakesh Jhunjhunwala famously called "Analysis Paralysis."  I've seen this play out with my earlier recommendations too like: Premier Explosives Ltd at Rs.29/30, Suzlon Energy Ltd at Rs.6, Swan Energy Ltd at Rs.210, and Wockhardt Ltd at Rs. 170, to name a few.

  BLB Ltd (Rs.18.05): An E merging Opportunity in the Share Market Recent intel from my reliable sources in Delhi indicates that the proposed open offer price of Rs.22.50, which surfaced in January 2024, was ultimately rejected by both parties due to procedural and other undisclosed issues.  However, these setbacks have not deterred the company's outlook, as it is poised for a promising performance starting this quarter, according to the sources who preferred to remain anonymous.

The recent Telecom Tariff Hike was comparable to what money would have earned in Bank FDs.. Interest charged by banks and financial institutions is like a premium on your idle money, or in simpler terms, it's the rent you pay for letting your money change locations from your pocket to theirs. Recently, telecom companies hiked their tariff plans after a three-year pause, much to the chagrin of many Indians. However, these recent hikes, ranging from 17-19%, coupled with the natural growth in data usage thanks to the 5G wave, are expected to push the industry average revenue per user (ARPU) to a decade-high of Rs.225-230 by fiscal 2026, up from Rs 182 in fiscal 2024, according to CRISIL Ratings. Photo : The India Times . CRISIL Ratings also noted that, along with a reduction in capital expenditure due to fewer network investments following the completion of 5G roll-outs and limited spectrum renewals, the return on capital employed (RoCE) will improve. This will support deleveraging in...

  Today's Calls India's retail inflation, though exceeded the central bank's target of 4%, has remained within the 2-6% tolerance range for nine consecutive months. Last week, the RBI maintained the policy rate at 6.5%, indicating that interest rate cuts may be delayed as the central bank waits for inflation to stabilize. According to data from the statistics ministry, retail inflation based on the consumer price index (CPI) dropped to 4.75% in May from 4.83% in April, marking the lowest rate in a year. This moderation was driven by slower price rises in food items like meat, fish, dairy products, vegetables, and spices. Inflation has remained below 5% since March. Food inflation, which constitutes nearly 40% of the overall consumer price basket, rose 8.69% year-on-year in May, slightly down from 8.70% in April. Food prices have remained high for over a year, largely due to last year's uneven and below-normal monsoon rains. Food inflation has consistently stayed above 8...
