Yes Bank stock attracted huge attention last week with good volume. Ratings agency Moody’s has upgraded its rating and changed the outlook to positive from stable. Another positive comes from RCap and Vodafone Idea – one has gone to NCLT and second showing better performance, giving indication of good recovery from both. The bank is now also focusing on retail lending. It seems all is well and it can double in a year from this level. Investors have nothing to lose as probably no downside can happen.

On TTM basis its sales, operating and net profit is at highest ever level, with ROCE 32 and ROE 22 percent. In FY21 it gave a dividend of 40 per cent.

Granules India, discussed in issue dated November 20 when it was trading at Rs 305, has given 13 per cent return now available at Rs 345. As we said earlier, from Q4 demand will come back and those, who bought after we discussed it, should remain invested but those who missed should buy between Rs 335-325.

Against Rs 3500 crore marketcap of Zee Entertainment its marketcap is Rs8500 crore but the price disparity is huge. In 2008, 2010, and 2018 it traded at Rs 215, 126, and 71 respectively. Now with an all-time high OPM this stock seems undervalued.


Indiabulls Real Estate is emerging a good bet as KG Krishnamurthy, former MD & CEO of HDFC Property Venture will take over as chairman on February 2, 2022. After its merger Embassy group and Blackstone will be the new promoters. Ace investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwals holds 50 lakh shares of the company having 1.1 per cent stake. It is still available at reasonable valuation with so many positive happenings.


CCL Products India has a global client repertoire in over 90 countries and the largest instant coffee exporter and private label manufacturer across the globe.

From a loss of Rs 44,560 crore, accumulated between 2016 to 2020, now the financials are in much better shape. On TTM basis it has clocked a profit of Rs 2209 crore which is highest in last 12 years. Gross NPA reduced from 30 to 21 per cent and Net NPA from 14-15 to only 1.62 per cent. Now either it will go in private hands or government will reduce its stake from 45.48 per cent or LIC will do the same which holds 49.24 per cent or both will do the same. In all the probabilities a re-rating is confirmed. Considering these possibilities 30-40 per cent return in a year is certain from this counter.
