Re: Indian investments thread

goldmine of info the site. axis bank looks better than sbi and hdfc in terms of good growth and lower PE. hdfc is probably bit overvalued in terms of PE. HDFC bank has better return on assets and a higher Net interest margin and more importantly, lower NPA. Hence, market assigns premium to it and w...

Re: Indian investments thread

Hawkins has reported a bad quarter - topline growth is bad, but in-line with most major consumer companies. The stock has been punished badly, rather hammered by Mr. market. You may want to take a look. Disclamer: I have held some since it was 450. CMP: ~3700.

You think IndusInd still has lot more to offer? I thought it is now a pretty expensive stock. IndusInd is indeed expensive and will remain expensive. This is one stock you can stick to for the next 5-10 years. It should safely multiply 10-15 times in 10 years, which is good enough for me. But that ...

why should a 52 week high bother anyone? It is a secular growth story and does not fall much. So most of the times it remains close to its all time high, unless there is mayhem in the market.

This is not an investment advise but I am pretty sure HDFC Bank is currently at very good valuations. Someone holding it for next 5-10 years will do very well. The reason why it is stuck at this price for this long is because FII's have reached the limit. It is almost certain to grow 20%-25% every ...
