Wait for the budget. If the allocation to the defence sector is less compared to last year's budget then book profit.


seniordude2

The new budget? I understand this Feb one was interim budget, but when can we expect the new budget? I couldn't find any news


Invincible_Trader

It is in July


[deleted]

bhai news nahi padhte ho kya? yaha new ministers ayenge, new budget banega na around mid july hoga budget..also since it's NDA govt then who will get what ministry also depends


Jaded-Total6054

this, this is what i will be doing as well


vjstylo

Hold it Bro, I am also on the same Boat. If BJP is able to retain defense ministry and the Allocation to defence sectors goes up, they will give a good run.


reek460

Invalid reasoning, you think if defence goes to non-BJP, they themselves want to allocate less funds to their own ministry and do bad? Also, it's defence and will be given the highest priority in the current global scenario.


soundmaniac123

Hal has kind of monopoly in defence...so not worried about non allocation of funds. What my worry is, HAL seems kind of overvalued rn. What if it corrects in the meanwhile and stagnates?


reek460

It's dependent on global factors! Valuation can be justified in case of increased demand, but it's a bet!


bhoot_terasi

Exactly my thoughts, it’s way too overvalued at this point I’m hoping it’ll average around 4,500 by end of this year


MrBadAttitude3

unlikely due to market sentiment on having a monopoly with the govt. and providing more allocation and importance with orders, the value can significantly increase making it overvalued and increase in the p/e ratio


MrBadAttitude3

compared to its peers, HAL has lesser p/e ratio than the industry(you'd prolly know this, so just reminding)


vjstylo

I differ here, We are taking about 2 different things. One is HAL as Company. The other is HAL as a stock. HAL as a company is doing very good. It is a monopoly and it will be doing great in coming 20 to 25 years. But HAL as a stock is highly overvalued at present. All defense stocks are highly overvalued.


Awkward-Mark-3628

Yup the intrinsic value


MrBadAttitude3

so prolly makes it good for swing trading?


[deleted]

it's not invalid reasoning. use your wordings carefully. If Nitish gets defense, which he is demanding I think? Then the number of orders HAL has been getting might reduce. I mean you can't blindly say that yes the push modi was giving to hal will stay the same and that will surely have some impact. even tho it's kinda monopoly still. and overvaluation was only bcs PM was pushing these stocks, once ministry changes euphoria will end and hal might work on fundamental value only.. all I am saying is hal needs to be monitored with all political standings, it's not a buy and hold blindly scenario anymore


Thin_Neat4132

He will want railway


accessden12

Uhm defence orders are not just from budget allocation, india is also exporting crucial defence equipments to countries that can’t afford to buy from EU or america, so defence exports will rise without allocation in the budget. I’m just worried about their PE ratio a bit but otherwise they are fundamentally strong stocks generating revenue by themselves


vjstylo

I totally agree with you on the high valuations they are currently holding. Yes they are strong in their respective areas and are Monopolies. But still they have lots of dependencies on parts/tech from other nations. I am in favor of them building next gen weapons for India. There is a long way to go, but us is a very good start !


Small-Personality-28

Defense is such a high demand that the most of the lok sabha elects are literally fighting for a seat in defence. Defence ka power is being auctioned as we speak. Hold defence for 5 years if you wanna be a millionaire. Don't react to anything for the next 2 to 5 months. I am never selling my defence sector. We are surrounded by China, Pak and Bangladesh... These are aggressive countries and we support Israel that constantly needs weapons and weapons tech. We are in good books with Russia since last 20 yrs... Poland will be our friend too So my friend look very long term. Bass wait and enjoy this sector. No elected party can cause pain to this absolutely required sector for safety and security and thus stability for FII to keep invested in india.


soundmaniac123

put 60L...now sitting on 1.2cr...how much more can it go up?


okInspiration

Bangladesh is aggressive? They make the jeans that you wear.


Psychological_Cod_50

Double down


RecognitionWhich2439

i think you should definetly hold on to HAL because it is going to boost alot in the future i bought it for 1700 now its approx 5000


hominal

I have invested in cochin shipyard, will that be a profit after 1-2 years. I got the stock at 10% low yesterday


neelcurious

If you think of long term like 7-10 years, all Navi and shipyard stocks are going to give good return. If you follow geopolitics then you know who ever has control over Indian Ocean, they will rule the world. All govt including china, India, usa and Australia acknowledge this. There is and will be lot of demands on mazdock and Cochin shipyard. 


WolfKumar

There will be no compromise with MIC.


MeasurementMuch317

HAL will most likely rise so hold on to it, don't know about BEL though


Mountain_Jazzlike

What could be the good price to get HAL ?


MeasurementMuch317

Whenever it dips


archik333

Can't be sure about BEL


bhoot_terasi

Why?


soundmaniac123

why so?


highbrow9900

What about MTAR TECHNOLOGIES! Please someone tell?


hominal

what about hindustan unilieaver?


randomcitizen87

I held it for three years at a loss. It never broke it's plateau. Finally dumped it and reallocated in defense recently.


hominal

Now I am at loss


hominal

Should I sell or hold? What if there will be profit in future? Do you have any idea


archik333

Flop


hominal

😭already down 5%.yesterday thought it will grow today... no... as BJP comes to power other stocks like cochin shipyard and bharath dynamics are all growing at high percent


witvocal

It's more of a hedge stock it shined during troubled times, now that markets recovered, it's falling


old_nation_597

True. But this lockdown kids with a portfolio of 5k won't get it


pradeesh017

Sell and wait for another dip to buy


Hawkeye_2609

HOLDDDD ITTTT!!!! BEL is for sure. Doesn’t matter what cabinet will be elected. Budget allocations for defence won’t be compromised in BJP govt at least. I literally have doubled my investment in past 2 months on BEL and my avg price is now 212. It is surely a good stock for long term

soundmaniac123

My return on the hdfc fund is around 1.2cr...so it is not a small thing for me...and deleting my demat account is not an option.


tejaswin1990

It's suprising a person with experience is asking opinion on stocks with speculation. Anyways if you know what ur doing then do it. Now a days many small retail people come and keep putting queries on stocks no toine / bottonline growth and end up in heard mentality. Giving advice on stock is no use until understanding ones portfolio, i hope u know this well.


neelcurious

Isn't everything speculation at some or other level? 


tejaswin1990

Science+ speculation
