Here is what Dipan Mehta, Director, Elixir Equities, had to say on two key stocks of the day, M&M and RR Kabel.

On M&M

They have captured the imagination of a lot of customers as well, and that is reflected in the numbers of M&M. So generally, very positive on the stock as a disclosure, we and our clients are invested in it. And maybe at corrections, you could get into this particular company. And overall, I do expect the auto industry to start doing well, considering that crude oil prices have fallen and interest rate costs also have come down.

On RR Kabel

I think markets are rewarding a good set of numbers. And RR Kabel’s numbers are very impressive. The kind of growth rates which they have will be industry-beating. And from that point of view, the stock has rallied. But, valuation-wise, it is pretty expensive; I would say fairly valued if you consider that there’s a new player coming into the market that’s going to cause a squeeze on existing players.

From that point of view, there’s a layer of uncertainty as well. And what has happened is something which is in the past, the quarter which has gone by, and the competition is going to come going ahead or so. So I don’t feel that enthused to buy into RR Kabel, or for that matter, any cable company at this point in time. It’s better to go for the appliance companies.

That’s where a lot of action will take place, considering that we have such a warm summer. And overall, consumption also will improve post these income tax relief coming into place and lower interest rates as well. So that is my strategy as far as consumer-related stocks are concerned.

The shares of Biocon surged by close to 5% on Monday. This came to pass after the company secured multiple market access agreements for Yesintek, its biosimilar to Stelara.

Oil Marketing companies are in focus. And according to Ruchit Mehta, Head-Research, SBI MF, in the falling oil environment, you obviously want to be with the companies which are going to be using oil as an input.

So, as you mentioned about whether it’s the paint sector or the aviation sector, more so because they will see probably lower costs and may be able to expand their margins. But in terms of the oil companies per se, the oil marketing companies traditionally seem not to have seen material benefits, either on the upside or on the downside, when oil prices are moved.

They should be able to report a reasonably okay set of numbers. Some of the profit expansion right now that could occur because of the fall in oil prices could help them recover some of the losses that they made previously, with regard to certain commodities like LPG, etc. So by and large, they should be okay.

Players like ONGC will obviously see and decline in earnings, considering that they are more directly sensitive to oil prices, per se. So you are better off seeing the decline in oil prices to participate and look at investing in companies, which are beneficial sort of commodities, rather than sort of the commodity producers themselves.#4QWithCNBCTV18 | M&M says:
