Muhurat Trading LIVE Updates: 'Investors should focus on stocks where Q2 results have been good'

Muhurat Trading LIVE Updates: "With Nifty returning 25 percent and Nifty 500 returning 30 percent in Samvat 2080, investors should be happy. But the 6.2 per cent correction in October, the first above 5 percent correction in 54 months, has triggered anxiety over the market performance, going forward. Of serious concern is the relentless FII selling in October amounting to Rs 113858 crores through the exchanges. Given India’s elevated valuations and concerns over deceleration in earnings growth, FII selling might continue, impacting the benchmark indices. In such a scenario investors should focus on stock-specific investment where Q2 results have been good and earnings visibility is bright.

The latest data regarding banking indicates that deposit growth has caught up with credit growth and this augurs well for banking stocks which are fairly valued. Public capex is likely to pick up in H2FY25 and this augurs well for cement stocks. Pharma stocks like Sun Pharma and Cipla have good earnings visibility."
