Star Cement

  • Stock jumped 7.2 percent to Rs 137.90 per share.

Benchmarks declined as short-term gains were taken off the table after the Modi government's return to power for a second term, according to Sindhu Sameer, Co-head of Equity Sales at Emkay Global. "Low-hanging fruits have been plucked."

However, there were many stocks that could return 12-15 percent CAGR in terms of earnings in the medium term, he said.

Here are some opportunities according to Sameer:

  • Can look at the PSU banks in the short-term. There could be some policy action to fix the problems.
  • There are some opportunities in the cement sector too.
  • Infrastructure can provide serious buying opportunities.
  • Consumption will remain an all-weather bet.
  • In all these sectors, there are 100-120 companies that investors can look at.

Shares of the private bank fell as much as 2.1 percent to Rs 805.80 each.

Around 10.6 lakh shares changed hands in a block deal, according to Bloomberg data. Buyers and sellers were not known immediately.

Gautam Shah of JM Financials said the benchmarks are likely to go through a 'patch of correction' over the next four to six weeks after their run to record highs.

India cannot continue to outperform at a time when other markets are seeing a downturn, Shah said. “The market is ignoring the negatives,” he told BloombergQuint in an interview adding, "It's difficult to see Nifty rally past 12,000 in short-term."

Meanwhile, here are the top three sectors Gautam Shah is betting on.
