Some more headroom in BSE: Ambareesh Baliga

Market expert Ambareesh Baliga said the performance of BSE depends mainly on that of the market, which has been extremely good. Earlier in the day, BSE shares ended 15.7 percent higher at Rs 1,911.9 apiece on NSE.

"That was one of the reasons it did well and the other one is clearly the benchmark. The NSE IPO is expected for the last so many months; we are closer to that. We have seen placements happening in NSE about two years back at levels of about Rs 900. Nowadays, we hear the placements are happening at Rs 3,000-plus, so the way NSE has moved, I think BSE has underperformed. I think there is still some more headroom as far as BSE is concerned," he said.

Positive on Maruti Suzuki: Ambareesh Baliga

According to independent market expert Ambareesh Baliga, Maruti Suzuki is one stock that has seen extremely good correction due to a lot of negatives in the past couple of months. Most of those negatives appear to be actually priced in, he said.

He expects a bounce in the Maruti Suzuki stock to about Rs 7,800 levels in the short term. "In the longer term, in FY23, we are looking at an EPS of about Rs 291. So my target in the longer term is about Rs 10,200," Baliga said.

"Margins were under pressure because of the commodity price rise. Now the company have increased the selling price... Now you're seeing the commodity prices actually peaking out. Also chip shortages in the last couple of months actually affected both production and sales, but then again, December could be slightly lower. However, all that is already discounted, and things expected to improve over the next two to three months," he said.

"No one can really beat that strong brand and large distribution network that Maruti has; replicating that is next to impossible. As far as Maruti is concerned, in the next 2-3 months, we should see decent number of launches. We are awaiting a hybrid launch as well as the EV launch, which should be a big kicker," Baliga added.

Momentum good, Nifty50 can possibly go up another 100-200 points: Ambareesh Baliga

Independent market expert Ambareesh Baliga believes the Nifty50 can possibly rise another 100-200 points as the momentum appears to be good. He, however, suggests caution at the current juncture. "Investors may utilise this upmove to book out to a certain extent because this is the time to get into cash to a certain extent," he said.

The markets is also ignoring the risks of the new COVID variant, at least for the time being, he said.

"It is more of a bounceback and a response to that good GDP data but we should remember that Q2FY21 was when India was still affected, and was just trying to recover," he added.

More overweight on midcap, smallcap stocks than largecaps for now: Anand Shah

Anand Shah, Head of PMS and AIF Investments at ICICI Prudential AMC, believes a few midcap and smallcap companies are attractively priced even after a sharp rally. "We used to have a little more largecap before but if you see more recently, especially in last 18-20 months, we have seen a sharp recovery. So that has been the distinct difference between the macro and the micro reading of this market. While all along we have been discussing the challenges that macro has been throwing on the economy, on various companies, but at the micro level, we are seeing a very solid earnings growth rate for especially in midcap and smallcap segments," he said.

To that extent yes, maybe in the future, we might have a little higher (allocation to) largecaps in our portfolio but today we are a little bit more overweight on midcap and smallcap," Shah added.

Recent correction in market healthy, was much needed: ICICI Prudential AMC's Anand Shah

Anand Shah, Head of PMS and AIF Investments at ICICI Prudential AMC, said the recent correction in the market was much needed. "Ahead of this correction, the market was very much in a steep rally and the expectations were very high. What this correction does is: One, it slows down the speculative activity in the market, and two, it brings down expectations," he said.

"A little longer of this healthy correction would be only helping the market over the long term to bring in more long-term investors," he said.

Sun Pharma may report better numbers going forward: Deven Choksey

Deven Choksey of KRChoksey beleives some of Sun Pharma's products are particularly gaining good traction in the US. "Domestic issues pertaining to production and stability of plants and their operation, including the US FDA clearance-related issues, are now behind. So obviously this year should be seen as a year where Sun Pharma could be reporting relatively better numbers compared to the last 3-4 years," he said.

"From here on, I think the situation should be much better. Given the kind of pipeline that they have, I would think that the company should be in a better position to report the greater set of numbers in subsequent quarters," he added.

Buy-on-dips opportunity in Maruti Suzuki: Deven Choksey

Deven Choksey of KRChoksey sees a buy-on-dips opportunity in Maruti Suzuki. "Maruti Suzuki is probably enjoying a situation where it has got a pipeline inventory or pipeline demand of about two lakh vehicles, which is required to be fulfilled. Obviously, I think the price hike is being affected, though not fully, but to a greater extent... and the demand situation is supporting the company," he said.

"I think the semiconductor shortage situation is not coming under control. So going forward, the delivery of vehicles would be a little more predictable, and the company, being the largest manufacture and market share commander, would be in a relatively better position... January to March quarter would be the first test for the company, as the quarter might see a gradual improvement over the last quarter," he added.
