🚀 In a filing to the Stock exchanges, DHFL stated that the Company may soon repay about Rs. 3937 cr inter corporate deposits and that it is also on its track to recast its outstanding loans. Do not sell.

🚀 Bharat Dynamics stood tall and could not be dented by the bloodbath in the markets. A very safe investment. Add this mini ratna.

🚀 Block deals and fresh infusion of capital by Global funds in  YES BANK indicate that things are not as bad as they look. A nice opportunity to add on dips.

🚀 Cox & Kings (one of the oldest travel firms in the world) has fallen more than 90% from its peak price. Risk bearing investors should keep a watch and start bottom fishing it falls below Rs. 10/-.

🚀 L&T consolidated order book has grown to Rs 2,94,014 cr in June 2019. NP has also grown 21% 1473 cr. The Company has plans to make Water treatment a $ 4 bn business in 4 yrs. A big buy.

🚀 Kotak Bank Q1 net profit increased 33% on back of loan growth and treasury gains. Add.

🚀 HDFC Life (an associate of Standard Life Aberdeen) posted stellar performance for Q1 with NP rising 12% to Rs 425 cr. A safe share to add.

🚀 Infosys has touched a year high Rs 792.20 on back of increased FY20 revenue growth guidance for the year.

🚀 Jyothy Labs is notching higher volumes since the last one week. This FMGC has many popular products in the market and has some more in its sleeve. Add for long term.

🚀 Indiabulls Housing plans to invest about Rs. 250 cr in LVB via bonds to comply with capital needs for its pending merger. Investment in LVB could prove profitable if held for one year.

🚀 Mahindra Finance saw its net profits for Q1 falling by more than 75% due to higher provisioning and rising cost of capital. Although a strong Company, present parameters warrant selling now and entering at lower levels.

🚀 Poultry prices are rising on back of small rise in feed costs. Buy Venkys for good gains.

🚀 Canfin Homes presented good results for Q1 with NP rising by about 11% to 73.22 cr. Add.

🚀 HDIL has been rapped by SRA authorities for handing over flats without obtaining a bundle of certifications. Such anomalies can dent the prospects of the Company. Avoid.

🚀 The recently published Vice Chairman’s speech of Sterlite Technologies is a clear indication of much better times coming for the Company and its shareholders. A good share for long term investors. Add.

🚀 JSW Steel is likely to issue $ 500-700 mn in overseas bonds or loans to use the funds to repay costlier domestic debts. Positive for the Company.

🚀 A narrowing Q1 losses at Syndicate Bank (on back of better recoveries and lower provisions) makes it a fairly good buy at current prices. Buy with strict stop loss.

🚀 In spite of all financial parameters in its favour, PFC is staring at such low rates. This share is a good value buy.
