In the last four days of strong volatile moves, one sector which has been able to keep its head above the water is the Auto sector. Is it because of results which are expected to be good or it is rotational trade which is taking place, is the question. Whatever might be the reason, after remaining under pressure for one or the other reason, the auto sector has been witnessing a transformation, right from restructuring to a slew of launches, coming from companies.
IF one looks at the trend in auto sales, the last three months have been strong. Most players in each segment, whether it is two or four wheeler, have been declaring their sales numbers which have been better than expected most of the time. But focus is more on what they are going to do in near term with their electrical vehicle business. Right from what kind of models to which segments they are going to focus on. As the companies announce their Q4 result, while there would be focus on margins and other regular numbers, what would be worth noting is what the management say in their concall post the results and about their EV plans. Given the fact that these companies have strong balance sheets, it would be worthwhile to keep them on the watch list.
