Stock Market Outlook & Investment Idea - 2011

It's been really long time since I've given recommendation to the investors and readers of this blog.
There have been tones of ups and downs in the markets during last one year, but finally Nifty and Sensex are managing to hold and give good returns to the investors.
I have got many queries asking for the stock recommendation which could prove to be good investment idea at this point of time.

Indian stock market Outlook - 2011
First of all let me reiterate the fact that there’s immense potential in the Indian stock market to do well over the next 3-5 years. I believe Indian economy would be triple in the size over the course of next 10 years. You can imagine the amount of wealth could be created if you invest in right company, right business at right time.
In particular outlook for 2011 looks good to me from the Indian stock market point of view. I expect earnings to grow around 15-18% next year, which would provide further upside to the stock market and justify valuation for the market. I believe sectors which are underperforming over the last 1 year or so would start catching up with rest of the market. It could be infrastructure, metals and oil & gas. I’m not so bullish on Real Estate even after recent crash in many of the stocks. I believe IT stocks should also do well and grow earnings by 18-20%. It’s worth to put money in some of the beaten down midcaps which has high growth potential. Let me recommend some of this which could make money for readers of this blog.

-       UCO BANK – CMP RS. 115: UCO BANK is one of my favorite stocks. I recommended this stock at Rs. 59 in January’2010 - http://indianstockmarketexpert.blogspot.com/2010/01/investment-idea-uco-bank-by-stock.html . It has proven to be good investment for the readers as it has touched high of Rs. 150. It was one of the best performing stock over the last one year. Now stock has retraced a bit due to recent scam news in PSU BANK.  It’s been consolidating for a while and formed a base around current levels. I believe it has potential upside of RS. 140 over next few months. I recommend buy for the stock with target price of RS. 162 and RS. 180 for the medium and long term view respectively.

-        IDBI BANK – CMP RS. 165: This is also one of the very good stock to remain invested for longer period. I recommended this stock at RS. 129 on 29th Dec – 2009 http://indianstockmarketexpert.blogspot.com/2009/12/stock-recommendation.html. It has touched high of RS. 200 and now again available at reasonable valuation to get into the stock again. I believe this bank has got huge potential to become one of the larger PSU BANKS in India. It has got huge customer base, strong financial performance and investment in lot of companies in the stock market. There’s potential chance of listing of subsidiaries in the company which would again unlock value of this stock. I recommend buy on this stock with potential target of RS. 216 and RS. 234 over the medium and long term view.

Happy Investing!!
