Even investment firms are shifting some of their funds towards companies aiding the government to tackle the climate crisis and make a smooth transition towards electric vehicles. The latest development in this regard is the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/auto/news/tata-motors-gets-a-billion-dollar-investment-from-tpg-group/articleshow/86966522.cms">$1 billion investment</a> in automaker Tata Motors by private equity firm TPG.

This gives a strong order push to companies manufacturing electric buses like Ashok Leyland, JBM Auto, Olectra Greentech, Tata Motors and Eicher Motors. Shares of these companies have skyrocketed up to 830% in the last one year as investors spot emerging opportunities in the electric vehicle space. While India is among the world's most polluted cities, the government has been pushing automakers to switch to EVs to promote clean air and reduce costly oil imports. Recently, Maharashtra environment minister Aaditya Thackeray <a href="https://twitter.com/AUThackeray/status/1447139828936499207?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">announced </a>that Mumbai’s entire public transport buses will go electric by 2028. <div type="javascript" title="Custom" contenttype="Image"><cdata><![CDATA[ ]]></cdata></div> Public buses getting replaced by <keyword id="1310333" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="electric-bus" source="Orion">electric bus</keyword>es bring a huge opportunity for these few electric bus makers in the country.

Meanwhile, the Karnataka government is all set to acquire 1,500 electric buses in the next three years. Ashok Leyland <div type="image" title="ashok leyland" height="900" width="1200" msid="87021886" hostid="261"></div> The company manufactures automobiles, commercial vehicles, and engines. In 2016, Ashok Leyland debuted its first electric bus. Recently, Ashok Leyland won the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation tender for 300 non-air conditioned electric buses. JBM Auto <div type="image" title="JBM auto chart" height="900" width="1200" msid="87021904" hostid="261"></div> The Gurugram-based automaker was founded in 1996 with JBM Auto being the flagship company of JBM Group. The company has diversified into bus manufacturing with an aim to become a globally benchmarked producer of modern intra-city buses. Last month, the company received orders for 500 electric buses and some compressed natural gas (CNG) buses from Delhi, Bengaluru and Uttar Pradesh along with other corporate clients. Besides, it will also be supplying electric buses for Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC). Olectra Greentech <div type="image" title="olectra greentech" height="900" width="1200" msid="87021947" hostid="261"></div> The Hyderabad-based electric bus and insulator manufacturing company Olectra Greentech is among the leading players in the space. The company has a healthy order book for 1,325 e-buses out of which 87 buses are already delivered. It made a profit of ₹5.65 crore in the June quarter compared to ₹3.26 crore loss in the same quarter last year. Besides, the company’s stock has created immense wealth for investors in the last one year as it surged over 800%. Tata Motors <div type="image" title="tata motors chart 2" height="900" width="1200" msid="87021969" hostid="261"></div> Tata Motors seems to be ahead of everyone with its latest $1 billion investment from US based private equity TPG for electric vehicle business. In August, the company delivered 35 Starbus electric buses, as a part of the larger order of 340 electric buses to Maharashtra’s transport department. Eicher Motors <div type="image" title="eicher motor" height="900" width="1200" msid="87021986" hostid="261"></div> In 2008, Eicher Motors collaborated with Volvo Group for selling trucks and buses under company name VE Commercial Vehicles. The company debuted with an EV bus named “Skyline Pro” in 2018. Since then, the company has been actively participating in tenders floated by various state transport undertakings and other government agencies.

Not only did the benchmark indices gain 6% during the year — Nifty touched 20,000 and Sensex surpassed 67,900. The equity markets have also shown extreme resilience in times of many geopolitical uncertainties like the Israel-Hamas conflict on top of the Russia-Ukraine war, rising inflation, sharp uptick in bond yields and more. For investors who are looking to build an auspicious portfolio for Samvat 2080, experts advise restraint and pick stocks that stand tall amidst corrections. “The recent sharp correction in stock prices may reflect growing recognition of short-term and medium-term challenges or a natural correction in the market from high levels. In our view, large-cap stocks offer better reward-risk balance given more reasonable valuations versus lofty valuations of most mid- and small-cap stocks,” says <keyword id="66607" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="kotak-securities" source="Orion">Kotak Securities</keyword>. According to the brokerage firm, short term challenges include higher-for-longer interest rates, and weak domestic consumption. It also expects disruption across sectors as a medium term challenge. Going ahead, it sees value in BFSI stocks, while <keyword id="100578" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="sharekhan" source="Orion">Sharekhan</keyword> sees value in domestic upcycle themes, with a few others that can leverage greenshoots in the export market. “Investors should view the current market weaknesses as valuable buying opportunities for constructing a top-tier portfolio aimed at riding the multi-year economic upcycle in India and use the opportunity for wealth creation over the next few years. Corporate earnings are expected to grow at a CAGR of 15% for the next two years, with over 20% earnings growth anticipated in the BSE 200 over the same period,” says Sharekhan.

But a few high performing small cap stocks such as RVNL, <keyword id="75435" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="gokaldas-exports" source="Orion">Gokaldas Exports</keyword>, <keyword id="19427151" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="garware-hitec" source="Orion">Garware Hitec</keyword>, <keyword id="14661372" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="syrma-sgs" source="Orion">Syrma SGS</keyword> made it to the pataka stock lists compiled across brokerages. The most common name across lists is Reliance Industries, as companies see good upside in the stock in the next few years. J M Financial says that RIL’s net debt concerns are overdone, and that it has industry leading capabilities across businesses to drive robust 14-15% earnings per share (EPS) compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next 3-5 years. “Jio’s ARPU expected to rise at 10% CAGR over FY23-28 with ARPU being on a structural uptrend given the industry structure, future investment needs, and the need to avoid a duopoly market. Further, strong growth momentum continues in the company’s Retail business as RIL is driving omni-channel capabilities across segments,” the brokerage says. The next most common stock across Diwali picks is DLF. Even as Kolte Patil, Lodha and Godrej Properties were also picked as the real estate sector theme remained strong, this mega developer made it to three brokerages’ best picks. “DLF's strong leadership in the Delhi-NCR region, a vast residential project pipeline, a significant rental portfolio, ample land reserves with low carrying costs, and favourable market conditions create a promising environment for substantial growth,” said Anand Rathi. Banks were also part of each brokerage’s picks with Union Bank of India, ICICI Bank, Bank of India, Axis Bank making the cut. Most of them back defence and railway stocks as well like HAL, Titagarh Wagons and MTAR Technologies – all which have given good returns this year. Auto stocks like M&amp;M, TVS Motor, Tata Motors, Maruti and Ashok Leyland also rode into the Diwali picks, with a good mix of power and infrastructure stocks like Tata Power, Power Grid, BHEL and L&amp;T are expected to light-up portfolios on the day India will glow with the light of diyas.

The stock split does decrease the market price of the individual shares in proportion to the split ratio, but does not cause any change to the market capitalization of the company. Investors of Tata Steel will get 10 shares instead of one share, the cost of each new share would be one-tenth the cost of the original share. For instance, the shares of Tata Steel is currently trading at roughly around ₹950. After the split, an investor would get 10 shares with each of them priced at ₹95. This is just an example, the actual stock price would depend on the share price of that day. Motilal Oswal explains that the split shares neither add new value nor does it dilute the ownership stake of the shareholders. However, they do increase the number of shares an investor holds. “Imagine a company. It has issued around 1,00,000 equity shares of face value of ₹10 per share. The company decides to split its shares in the ratio of 2:1. What this essentially means is that every share of the company will now be split into two. This will, in effect, increase the number of equity shares of the company to 2,00,000 from the erstwhile 1,00,000. And simultaneously, the face value of the shares would also come down to ₹5 per share,” the brokerage firm said. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Why is Tata Steel doing a stock split?" comment="subhead" text="Why is Tata Steel doing a stock split?">Why is Tata Steel doing a stock split?</cmsannotation> The stock split would help Tata Steel by increasing liquidity as the shares become much cheaper for small retail investors and attracts high trading volume, Manoj Dalmia, founder and director of Proficient Equities, told Business Insider. “Another one of the main stock split benefits is that the shares of a company generally see increased liquidity. Since shares have now become more accessible to retail investors, more people would show increased demand for it, which can increase liquidity in the counter. Buying and selling shares will be far easier after a stock split,” Motilal Oswal said. Tata Steel’s shares were trading at ₹953 at 11:17 am on Tuesday morning, after witnessing a dip of 16.6% year-to-date. <div type="javascript" title="Custom" contenttype="Image"><cdata><![CDATA[]]></cdata></div> <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What companies have undergone a stock split?" comment="subhead" text="What companies have undergone a stock split?">What companies have undergone a stock split?</cmsannotation> Multiple Indian companies — including Johnson Pharma, JBM Auto, Jubilant Food — have undergone a stock split this year. Internationally, Alphabet Inc-owned Google and Jeff Bezos’ ecommerce giant Amazon splits their stock in a 20-for-1 ratio. Rajnish Wellness, Ontic Finserve, Hindustan Foods and Shanti Educational Initiatives carried out a stock split last Friday on July 22, 2022. High Energy Batteries (India) would be next in line to carry out a stock split in the month of August. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What does a stock split mean for the investors?" comment="subhead" text="What does a stock split mean for the investors?">What does a stock split mean for the investors?</cmsannotation> A stock split does not change anything about the stock’s fundamentals. A way to look at it is that the actual size of the company stays the same but the shares issued increases, leading to a reduction in price of each share. For instance, a group of four friends slice a pizza into four pieces. Each of these friends would get one slice. However, if the same pizza is split into eight pieces, everyone would get two slices. The size of the pizza would be the same, however, the shares coming out of it would increase. Companies — including Tata Steel, Johnson Pharma, Google, Amazon — carry out such stock splits to make the share more affordable for retail investors, making the stock more liquid. “This will make a shareholder have more shares in the company at a cheaper price making these shares more affordable for both existing and new investors,” Dalmia noted. “In a stock split, investors who own stocks still have the same amount of money invested, but now they own more shares at a proportionately lower price. But as we saw above the value may not exactly be the same and normally, the stock split tends to make the stock more valuable due to its wider reach. That is normally one of the most popular reasons for companies to do a stock split,” according to financial services company IIFL.

EXPLAINED: A stock split helps increase liquidity in a stock by making it more affordable for retail investors, but does not guarantee an uptick

On Monday, Tata Steel announced to split its shares in a ratio of 10:1 in its June quarter results and as a result the stock has been on a gaining spree since then. This means that each share of the company has been split in 10 parts, making each share worth one-tenth the cost. Similarly, shares of Bajaj Finserv have also been rallying after the company announced that its board would consider a bonus and stock split on Thursday. It is important to note that the stock split does make a single share of the company cheaper, but it does not cause any change to the market capitalization of the company. Tata Steel’s market shares still linger a little over ₹1,19,000 (about $15 billion) after the stock split. Motilal Oswal explains that the split shares neither add new value nor does it dilute the ownership stake of the shareholders. However, they do increase the number of shares an investor holds. “Imagine a company. It has issued around 1,00,000 equity shares of face value of ₹10 per share.

Myhotelshop, founded in 2012 by Ullrich Kastner, provides hotels with software solutions for direct sales and distribution channels. It offers services like reporting, bid management and campaign intelligence platform. It also provides other travel products that enable online travel agencies (OTAs) and agency clients to reach out to more customers. The acquisition will allow RateGain to expand its offerings and reach out to more customers. "The merger will help in addressing a key challenge that the industry is facing in the post-COVID world that is witnessing increased digitization. The need to become digital-first is increasingly becoming chaotic and we aim to make it simpler for hotels to manage their acquisition strategy and enable them to unlock new revenue," Bhanu Chopra, founder at RateGain, said. Founded in 2004, RateGain too offers travel and hospitality software solutions. The company filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) last month for an initial public offering (IPO). The company is looking to raise ₹400 crore through fresh issue and sell another 2.26 crore equity shares that are currently held by investor Wagner and promoters of the company. The company plans to use the proceeds from this public issue to repay debts and fund strategic investments, acquisitions and inorganic growth.
