Positive on IndiaMART: Hemang Jani

Hemang Jani, Retail Equity Strategist at Motilal Oswal Financial Services, is positive on IndiaMART after the deep correction in the last 3-4 months. "What we feel is that there is renewed buying interest in the entire startup theme and companies with some sort of a platform and online business, given that the midcap sector is back in the reckoning with the beginning of the new financial year as retail investors are looking for such beaten down names... That is where IndiaMART is fitting in,” he says.

Don't think market giving significant premium: Deepak Shenoy on HDFC-HDFC Bank merger

Capitalmind Founder Deepak Shenoy is of the view that the market is not giving a significant premium to the proposed merger, but only factoring in the increase in book value. "The market is looking at the increase in book value per share because the ownership of HDFC in HDFC Bank gets written down. So the effective increase in book value per share is roughly eight percent. The stock market is saying 'we will give the same price to book for the combined entity and therefore the price would be up by about 7-8 percent'," he says.

Always good to be cautious from near-term perspective: Charandeep Singh

Charandeep Singh, Co-Founder and Fund Manager of Girik Capital, says it is always good to be cautious from a near-term perspective. "From a five-year perspective, I think there are great opportunities; India has always been a great stock picker market," he says.

His advice: It is not wise to spend too much time worrying about where the market is in the near term.

"As managers are always concerned about where the earnings acceleration is going to be and where the greatness quotient is going to be, we can actually go and find our investors, what we're paid to do, which is fine, great stories, find where the earnings acceleration is, and find companies be it large, mid or small, that can grow their earnings pie over a 3-5 year period and make money for investors," he says.

"That is all our focus is about; the rest really is just rhetoric and headlines, which we try to ignore as much as possible," he adds.
