*TURN-TURN-TURN-INDIA’S TURN IS COMING SOON*
Everyone around the world is obsessed with Korean/ Taiwan and stocks like Hynix, Samsung Electronics, Micron & Kioxia. No doubt, this is a super cycle going for some of these names – evident from Apple increasing prices by 15-25% for the first time ever. This is a never-seen-commodity-bull-cycle for memory tech hardware businesses. But do remember the craze: Micron is officially the most traded stock in the US. Daily turnover in Micron stock surpassed $70 billion (wowowowow) for the first time, making it the most traded stock in the US. It is crazy that the entire world wants to ride & trade only 4-5 stocks. Crazy.
Retail chases momentum & news. Since April, US gold and Bitcoin ETFs have posted -$12 billion in cumulative outflows. Over the same period, US semiconductor ETFs have attracted +$20 billion in cumulative inflows. Saw the same earlier with Bitcoin & many tech stocks in USA.
It is all about cycles and mean reversion. Google is up 6%, NVIDIA Corp stock is up 2%, Palantir Tech down 40%, Oracle down 24%, Tesla down 20%, Microsoft Corp is down 23% during the last 6-months. They all were darlings 1 year back. And now no one wants them at all.
But at the same time – we cannot forget what’s happening in India especially post-free crude oil fall. Just imagine: India’s banks credit growth in India is back above 18% at 10- YEAR-HIGH. This is not a small sign but an indication of growth to come across sectors. Some financials stocks & NBFCs will show 25-30% growth in top line and still trade less than 1.5x PB.
Brokers are coming back & now noticing India. Goldman has raised India’s CY26 growth forecast by 0.3pp to 6.8% yoy & lowered headline inflation forecast for CY26 and FY27 by 0.2pp and 0.3pp to 4.4% yoy and 4.9% yoy. Also, Citi has also raised FY27 GDP at 6.9% vs 6.6% earlier & lowered FY27 CPI at 4.7% vs 4.9% earlier. Also, Citi says no rate hikes in FY27!
Extremely bullish on individual stocks in India and searching for strong names with reasonable valuations.
RBL Bank which is a re-rating candidate as RoA orbits from 0.5% to 1.5%. This kind of pedigree stock can trade at 2x as well with ROA closer to 2% in next 2-3 years.
FIIs will have to come back to India with macro stabilizing and turning with every passing day. cannot believe that trillion of dollars will chase ONLY 4-5 stocks worldwide and ignore 7% GDP growth in India and cos with 25-35% growth with 1-1.5x PB.
