“Stock market prices are purely based on sentiments in the short run. Long-term investors must remain focused on picking stories with low debt and consistent cashflows and that are trading at comfortable valuations among many other factors,” Sreeram Ramdas, Analyst at Green Portfolio told Business Today.
“If a company’s operating cash flows dent with an increase in interest rates and if they have close to NIL free cash flows, there are exactly the companies to be avoided at this point in time. And Nykaa is placed under this category for us irrespective of what the share price might do today or tomorrow,” he added.
Kranthi Bathini, equity strategist at WealthMills Securities said, “The shares zoomed on the back of heavy volumes. We’re seeing some attempt at bottom-fishing here in terms of prices.”
“Investors seeking a new entry point should hold off for a while longer, as there are many better equities available now on a risk-reward basis. Existing investors can keep their positions and wait for the price to average out,” said Ashis Sarangi, SEBI Registered Investment Advisor at Pickright Technologies.
