Dear Reader,
We have seen significant
correction in Sensex and Nifty along with broader indices since beginning of
this year. Small Cap Index has fallen the most, down by -17.3% since 1st
Jan 2016. Steep fall in small and mid cap index have hurt sentiments and
created panic for many of retail investors who invested in stocks last year or
early this year. Its important to know, whether you would be able to hold on
your positions in case stock market tanks?
Below are some of the major
reasons of recent downfall in Indian equities:
- Continuous Selling
by FIIs
- Slowdown in China
Economy
- Weak Corporates
Earnings
- Slower Growth Forecast
in IT Sector
- Surge in Bad Loans
of PSU Banks
- Weakness in Indian
Currency
It is important to
understand that with every fall, Indian equities valuations are getting
attractive day by day. Moreover, once the markets bottom out and form a base,
we can see renewed buying interest from global investors. Bad sentiments will
not last forever, its time for medium to long term investors (1-3 years) to
start accumulating good quality stocks which are becoming available at
discounted price.
Post recent correction in
small cap stocks, we have reviewed all our past recommended Hidden Gems and
short-listed 6 Hidden Gems stocks which offer good long term investment
opportunity and have potential to give excellent returns on your investment
during next 2 – 3 years. We have released our "Special Report - 6 Hidden Gems Stocks to Buy / Accumulate" today and mailed it to our Hidden Gems & Wealth-Builder members.
While short listing these 6 stocks, we evaluated each
company on the basis of I-B-M-V-E-D parameters (Industry, Business, Management,
Valuations, Earnings & Debt Management) and rated every parameter using a
rating scale – E,V,G,F,P (E=Excellent, V=Very Good, G=Good, F=Fair, P=Poor)
One of the important key to
successful investing is to pick the right business at decent valuations. We
finalized these 6 stocks with a long term view (2-3 years) and find them
superior over other Hidden Gems stocks in terms of valuations, earning visibility,
debt management and integrity of promoters towards their business and interest
of minority shareholders.
These 6 Hidden Gems stocks
have a market capital below 500 crores and seen a price correction between 20%
to 43% from their 52 week high without any major changes in fundamentals. We
believe these stocks will outperform giving much better returns compared to
broader indices in medium to long term. Our members can add these stocks in
their portfolio with long term view (2 to 3 years). We suggest our members to
start investing in these 6 Hidden Gems stocks with initial allocation of 1-2%
and increase allocation gradually to 3% in staggered way in case stock
prices of these companies falls by another 8% to 10% or more during market
correction.
Important parameters which
we looked into while finalizing stocks are as under:
1.
Industry – Operating in Industry / sector which is expected to grow > 12%
CAGR during next 3 years
2.
Business – Leadership position in the business or one of its business segment
3.
Management – Prudent & trustworthy management keeping interest of minority
share holders
4.
Valuations – Reasonable / attractive valuations compared to peer group
companies
5.
