Let’s start with Tata Technologies. Stock prices fell by more than 6% after TPG climbed up a stock that had accumulated 1.6 crore worth of stock. How important is this block trading for investors? And what is the overall outlook for Tata Tech?
Kranthi Bathini: Tata Technologies had an euphoric IPO, mainly because it was supported by a strong Tata brand. I’ve listed around 1,100 pounds and even mentioned a high of nearly 1,200 pounds, but since then it’s been revised to around 664 pounds, and at one point it’s soaked at 595 pounds. Essentially, the company has not shown significant profit improvements since the IPO. The inventory was fully priced and the valuation seemed to have been stretched from the start. In my opinion, recent block transactions are neutral. These funds have been invested for a long time and are now leaving. The business model remains strong, but investors need to wait for revenue towing before making fresh entries. For now, it’s better to stay on the sidelines and monitor how the company progresses.Given the massive revision from the IPO high, retail investors may feel like they want to type in right now. Is that a good strategy?
Crunch: That’s an exact dilemma. Yes, it is a TATA group company with strong brand equity, but the stock has not been running after listing. If you have already invested, you may hold it. But wait until the revenues become visible for a fresh investment. Jumping just for corrections may not be wise without basic support.
Reliance Industries: Still buying?
Q. Reliance recently posted a Q4 number that was better than expected. Stocks have already risen 12% in 2025. Should investors add trust now or wait?
Crunch: Reliance is offered on expectations, especially at Jio and retail. The company’s diversified models remained strong, with the brokerage seeing an additional 15% increase. The long-term outlook remains the same as past CAPEXs show returns now. However, the petroleum-to-chemical (OTC) segment is integrated, and green energy ventures have not yet generated strong revenues. Existing investors can hold it. New investors will have to wait for the dip. This is a solid long-term “buy-on-dip” stock.
Gensol Engineering: From Heroes to Headaches
Gensol has crashed from over 700 pounds to over 81 pounds in legal issues with ED Raids and EV Cab Arm since January, in legal troubles related to Blusmart since January. What should investors do now?
Crunch:Jensol was once a child of Indian Green Energy Push and EV Ambition posters. Retail euphoria and media hype have raised prices. But as we saw, drops of over 80-90% over a few months were dramatic. Unfortunately, investors were caught up in a “greed and fear” cycle. Company Basics did not support assessment. Worse, inventory collides with the lower circuit every day, with no exit routes. My advice: Always evaluate your company based on consistent revenue, cash flow quality, and management reliability, not media topics. At this stage, observe. Exit if there is a bounce or positive trigger.
Q4 Revenue Preview: Ambuja, Bajaj Twins, BPCL & Trent
Q. We expect Q4 results this week. Let’s talk about some of AmbujaCements, Bajaj Finserv, Bajaj Finance, BPCL, and Trent. Let’s start with Ambuja.
Kranty: Ambuja is currently being integrated. Given the push for government infrastructure, the outlook is positive. The inventory is highly valued. We expect decent fourth quarter figures and existing investors should hold them.
How about Bajaji’s twins?
Kranty: Finance is leading Nifty’s meetings, with bank Nifty at record highs. Bajaj Finance and Finserv are expected to post solid counts. We are optimistic about their fourth quarter performance.
BPCL and torrent?
Kranty: Crude is hovering for nearly $60, which is advantageous for oil marketing companies. We are optimistic about BPCL in the medium to long term. Trent has a stellar gathering. The fourth quarter may remain strong due to robust consumption trends, but ratings are growing. It is priced perfectly, so people must be careful.
Sector and market outlook
The market is a record high, over 80k and nifty over 24,300. Which sectors are promising for investors now?
Kranty: Despite global concerns and geopolitical tensions, the market is rallying thanks to the recent strong influx of FPIs. As for the sector, banking and finance remain attractive for long-term betting. It’s a careful shopping experience. It is for long-term investors, but there are no short-term transactions due to global uncertainty.
Interestingly, the defense stock is lively. Hal, Cochin Shipyards, BDL, and more. These dips should be used to accumulate. Moreover, infrastructure, engineering and construction remain strong theatre within India’s domestic growth narrative.
How do you think the market is being formed this week?
Crunch: As long as Nifty is above 24,000, we are in safe territory. However, geopolitical development needs to be closely tracked. The global narrative continues to change from “buying, selling emerging markets” in January to “India’s safest bet today.” Foreign investors, including many people I recently met in Dubai, initially supported China, but sentiment has returned to India. It shows how quickly the story can change. Get information and clarify global tensions by the weekend.
