Chola Securities sees buying opportunity in metals and cement stocks
Dharmesh Kant, Head of Research at Chola Securities, expects the commodity upcycle to continue for another year despite near-term volatility. He sees any correction in metal prices as a long-term buying opportunity, supported by reconstruction activity in the Middle East and a revival in infrastructure spending in countries such as India. Kant remains positive on metals and prefers Hindalco, Hindustan Zinc, Vedanta, Tata Steel and JSW Steel on declines. He also believes the cement sector has been overlooked and favours large-cap names like UltraTech Cement and Ambuja Cements, while regional players could benefit from improving pricing over the next two to three months.
