23/12/25, The brokerage firm Nuvama has identified a small set of emerging Indian companies where it sees potential gains of up to 53%, based on discussions and management interactions at its latest Emerging Ideas conference.

While the conference featured several fast-growing businesses across sectors, only a few companies have been assigned formal Buy ratings along with stated target prices within 3 years. According to Nuvama, these ideas are backed by visible capacity expansion plans, entry into higher-margin segments, and improving business mix, with stock performance expected to follow execution over the coming years.

1)Nuvama on Awfis Space Solutions: 'Buy'

Nuvama has a Buy rating on Awfis Space Solutions with a target price of Rs 1,013, implying an upside of about 47%. The brokerage is positive on the growing gap between demand and supply for Grade A managed office spaces, where Awfis continues to add 30,000-40,000 seats every year. Around 61% of occupancy comes from large enterprises and multinational companies, which lends stability to revenues. Nuvama expects sharp improvement in profitability, with PAT projected to grow at a 102.9% CAGR, driven by a capital-light managed aggregation model, higher average seat rates, and a rising share of premium Grade A+ properties in its portfolio.

2)Nuvama on Vintage Coffee & Beverages: 'Buy'

Nuvama has a Buy rating on Vintage Coffee And Beverages and values the stock at Rs 250, suggesting an upside of nearly 53%. The brokerage says the company is entering a phase of rapid growth as it scales its annual capacity from 6,500 metric tonnes to 16,000 metric tonnes. A key driver is the move into freeze-dried coffee, a premium segment that offers materially better margins. Management guidance points to a 74% sales CAGR, while overall profitability is expected to rise more than five times as premium products form a larger share of revenues and operating leverage improves.

3)Nuvama on Fedbank Financial Services: 'Buy'

Nuvama has a Buy rating on Fedbank Financial Services with a target price of Rs 190, indicating an upside of around 35%. The brokerage notes that the company has tightened its business focus following a leadership change, building a largely secured loan book centred on gold loans and loans against property. Unsecured business loans now account for just 2% of the portfolio. Nuvama expects a 120 basis point improvement in profit before tax, supported by steadier asset quality and cost savings from automated credit decision systems. The valuation is based on 1.9 times adjusted book value, which Nuvama considers reasonable given the cleaner balance sheet.

4)Nuvama on OBSC Perfection: 'Buy'

Nuvama has a Buy rating on OBSC Perfection with a target price of Rs 430, translating into an upside of about 31%. The brokerage points to OBSC's move up the value chain, with increasing exposure to the defence and marine segments, where gross margins range between 40% and 80%, compared with 20-25% in its automotive business. The company has an order book of more than Rs 1,200 crore and is setting up a large integrated facility to consolidate operations and reduce rental costs. Nuvama expects EBITDA and PAT to grow at around 40% annually as new capacity comes on stream and product mix improves.

👉Nuvama's emerging ideas to watch

Apart from its formal stock calls, Nuvama has also discussed several fast-growing companies that are not rated but show strong ambition to scale. Aakaar Medical Technologies is targeting Rs 1,000 crore in revenue through expansion in the aesthetics market, supported by USFDA-approved products. CWD is aiming for a six-fold jump in revenue by reducing dependence on Chinese imports in India's payment soundbox segment. Anant Raj is building a 307 MW data centre platform alongside a Rs 9,500 crore luxury housing pipeline in the NCR, positioning itself across digital infrastructure and real estate demand.

Trade Cycles

The four important features of Trade Cycle are (i) Recovery, (ii) Boom, (iii) Recession, and (iv) Depression!

The trades cycle or business cycle are cyclical fluctuations of an economy. A full trade cycle has got four phases: (i) Recovery, (ii) Boom, (iii) Recession, and (iv) depression. The upward phase of a trade cycle or prosperity is divided into two stages—recovery and boom, and the downward phase of a trade cycle is also divided into two stages—recession and depression.

Phases of Trade Cycle:

The phases of trade cycle are explained with a diagram:

(1) Recovery:

In the early period of recovery, entrepreneurs increase the level of investment which in turn increases employment and income. Employment increases purchasing power and this leads to an increase in demand for consumer goods.

As a result, demand for goods will press upon their supply and it shall, thereby, lead to a rise in prices. The demand for consumer’s goods shall encourage the demand for producer’s goods.

The rise in prices shall depend upon the gestation period of investment. The longer the period of investment, the higher shall be the price rise. The rise of prices shall bring about a change in the distribution of income. Rent, wages, interest do not rise in the same proportion as prices.

Consequently, the margin of profit improves. The wholesale prices rise more than retail prices. The prices of raw materials rise more than the prices of semi-finished goods and the prices of semi-finished goods use more than the prices of finished goods.

(2) Boom:

The rate of investment increases still further. Owing to the spread of a wave of optimism in business, the level of production increases and the boom gathers momentum. More investment is possible only through credit creation. During a period of boom, the economy surpasses the level of full employment and enters a stage of over full employment.

(3) Recession:

The orders for raw materials are reduced on the onset of a recession. The rate of investment in producers’ goods industries and housing construction declines. Liquidity preference rises in society and owing to a contraction of money supply, the prices falls. A wave of pessimism spreads in business and those markets which were sometime before sellers markets become buyer’s markets now.

(4) Depression:

The main feature of a depression is a general fall in economic activity. Production, employment and income decline. The prices fall and the main factor responsible for it is, a fall in the purchasing power.

The distribution of national income changes. As the costs are rigid in nature, the margin of profit declines. Machines are not used to their full capacity in factories, because effective demand is much less. The prices of finished goods fall less than the prices of raw materials.

..BANKING TERMINOLOGY

There are various types of Banks: PSU Banks, Private Banks, Co-operative/Regional Banks, Small Finance Banks and Foreign Banks. When you deposit money in a bank, let's say the bank gives you an interest rate of 4%. But when the bank lends out this money, they lend it out at say, 12%. The difference of 8% in the above scenario is effectively the profit of the bank! The loans that do not pay interest for 90 days are known as Non-performing Assets. Banks have to provide for such bad loans. Structure of a Bank Asset for a Bank: The asset portion of a bank's capital includes cash, government securities, and interest-earning loans (e.g., mortgages, letters of credit, and inter-bank loans). Liabilities for a Bank: The bank's main liabilities are its capital (including cash reserves and, often, subordinated debt) and deposits. The latter may be from domestic or foreign sources (corporations and firms, private individuals, other banks, and even governments). Banks are required to maintain Liquidity with the Reserve Bank of India: SLR (Statutory Liquidity Ratio): It is the money a bank needs to preserve in the form of cash, gold or government Bonds before providing credit customers. This limitation is added by RBI on banks to make funds available to customers on-demand at your earliest convenience. Banks are required to maintain SLR at 18%. CRR (Cash Reserve Ratio): Banks are required to hold a certain proportion of their deposits in the form of cash. Banks don’t hold these as cash with themselves, but deposit such amounts with RBI / currency chests. CRR rate is at 4.5% currently. Repo Rate: The rate at which the RBI lends short-term money to the banks. The RBI through its Monetary Policy committee changes the repo rate to balance growth and Inflation. Reverse Repo rate: The rate at which banks park their short-term excess liquidity with the RBI. Now let us understand various terminologies for Banks Net Interest Income (NII): This is the spread the bank makes on its lending. It is calculated as Interest Income – Interest Expended Net Interest Margin (NIM): This is the spread the bank makes on its lending. It is the earning which is left after deducting the cost paid to depositors from its yields on Loans. This is denoted in % terms. The formula is Yield on Loans – Cost of funds Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR): The capital adequacy ratio (CAR) is a measure of a bank's available capital expressed as a percentage of a bank's risk-weighted credit exposures. Essentially, it is the Capital that is available to lend. Tier I Capital – In simple words this capital is freely available with the bank to lend out. Tier II Capital- This is the capital tied up somewhere and is less freely available to lend. In case of an adverse event, the bank can use this capital to lend. Under Basel III norms, a bank’s tier 1+tier 2 capital must be a minimum of 8% of its risk-weighted holdings. The minimum capital adequacy ratio, also including the capital conservation buffer, is 10.5%. Current Account Saving Account (CASA)- There is no interest paid on the Current Account and a small interest rate is paid on a savings account. The combination of both is called CASA which shows the liabilities of the bank on which it pays relatively less interest. Deposits: Bank deposits are a savings product that customers can use to hold an amount of money at a bank for a specified length of time. In return, the financial institution will pay the customer the relevant amount of interest, based on how much they choose to deposit and for how long. Now let us come to NPA. Gross NPA (GNPA): It is the total loans on which no payment has been paid for 90 days or more. GNPA % is usually shown in each Bank’s quarterly results. The percentage is basically the GNPA amount as a % of the total advances. Slippages: Slippages denote the fresh amount of loans that have turned bad in a year. The slippage ratio of a bank is calculated as Fresh accretion of NPAs during the year /Total standard assets at the beginning of the year multiplied by 100. Provisioning Coverage Ratio (PCR): This is the ratio of provisioning to GNPA and indicates the extent of funds a bank has kept aside to cover loan losses. For Instance, a company has GNPAs of Rs 100 and they have set aside 50 Rs, then the PCR is 50%. Net NPA (NNPA): The total figure left after deducting provisions made for bad loans from GNPA. (GNPA – Provisions+upgrades/writeoffs = NNPA) Special Mention Account (SMA) SMA-0 is a category in which stress with respect to the principal and interest has remained overdue for a period of 0 to 30 days. SMA-1 is a category in which stress with respect to the principal and interest has remained overdue for a period of 30-60 days. SMA-2 is a category in which stress with respect to the principal and interest has remained overdue for a period of 60-90 days
