Wealth destroying PSU's and opportunities for investment

Sinking PSU Eroded Investors wealth



Hello readers,
This blog I was planed in Feb 2020 but due to some reasons it was late but I am thinking for any start it is  'NEVER TOO LATE'.
ONGC India's most valued PSU's Stock price touch 15 years low recently. The combined market capitalization of 62 PSUs, at around Rs 15.4 trillion, is the lowest in nearly four years and excluding State Bank of India, their market capitalization is the lowest since March 2009 (see chart).


The PSUs’ market capitalisation is down 17.6 per cent in the current fiscal year, against a 4.3% rise in the benchmark NSE Nifty50 index during the period.  Excluding SBI, PSU Index 28% down in past 3 years becoming biggest wealth destroyer. 

M-Cap                       Time
19.2 trillion rupees Mar-17
15.4 trillion rupees  18-Feb-2020

Below is top 5 PSU's  by M-cap



Top 5 wealth destroyer in last 3 years





Highest PE ratio among PSU's

PE ratio shows current investor demand for a company share. A high PE ratio generally indicates increased demand because investors anticipate earnings growth in the future.



EPS Analysis-
Earnings per share (EPS) is calculated as a company's profit divided by the outstanding shares of its common stock. The resulting number serves as an indicator of a company's profitability. ... The higher a company's EPS, the more profitable it is considered.




Highest dividend paying PSU's

The dividend payout  measures the percentage of net income that is distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends during the year. In other words, this shows the portion of profits the company decides to keep to fund operations and the portion of profits that is given to its shareholders.





Above is some picture of PSU's in terms of some data. Recently Government of India became very aggressive about it's PSU disinvestment plan. But remember on thing Aviation Jewel Air India(Maharaja)  not  getting bidder since last 2 year. Also there is o more action taken about BPCL sell except passing a bill in parliament by Government of India. Government of India had Department of Disinvestment under Ministry of Finance which having DIPAM( Department of Investment and public Asset Management) as Nodal agency.


Remember one thing, Government of India's Disinvestment is nothing to do with about companies business and its model.  As you as investor think  about is business is sustainable or not management of company, balance-sheet of company.
In past there is many examples of where government sold stakes and then company doing well after that(e.g. ICICI Bank) also where government buy stake and then company doing well.  "MANAGEMENT" is very important when you thinking to invest in company. Yaa there is many PSU's who not doing well or they are puppet of politicians but but there is also good companies.(Diamond's and coal find at same place). So I advise do your own research and invest wisely. Many of you read this article for they will get multi-bagger PSU stock information here but sorry friends study PSU by your own, I am just giving direction to your thinking.

Thank you.

The Algorithmic Threat: How Social Media Endangers Democracy

  The Algorithmic Threat: How Social Media Endangers Democracy Social media platforms have become an undeniable force in our lives. They connect us with friends and family, inform us about current events, and entertain us. However, beneath the surface of connection lurks a potential threat to democracies: the algorithms that curate our online experience. These algorithms, designed to keep us engaged, can create echo chambers and filter bubbles. They prioritize content that confirms our existing beliefs, regardless of accuracy, and push us further away from opposing viewpoints. This can lead to increased political polarization, where people become entrenched in their own ideologies and distrustful of anything that challenges them. How what's app messages impact on opinion: Echo Chambers and Confirmation Bias:   People often connect with like-minded individuals on WhatsApp. Constant exposure to reinforcing messages can strengthen existing beliefs, making voters less receptive to oppo

Understanding Option Trading: The Statistical and Probabilistic Game

Understanding Option Trading: The Statistical and Probabilistic Game "Trading is a game of probabilities. You don't have to be right every time. You just have to follow your rules."  In the vast arena of financial markets, option trading stands out as a unique and intriguing game—one deeply rooted in the realms of statistics and probability. Unlike traditional stock trading, where investors buy and sell shares of a company, option trading involves contracts granting the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price within a specified time frame. However, what makes option trading particularly fascinating is its reliance on mathematical principles, where every move is a calculated risk based on statistical analysis and probability assessment. The Basics of Option Trading Before delving into the statistical intricacies, it's crucial to grasp the fundamentals of option trading. Options come in two primary forms: cal

Riding the Volatility Wave: Option Trading

 Riding the Volatility Wave: Option Trading Derivative products, particularly options, offer a unique way to leverage market movements, and volatility plays a key role in this game. By understanding how volatility affects option prices, traders can craft strategies to capitalize on anticipated price swings. Volatility Skew: A Window into Market Sentiment Traditionally, option pricing models assume symmetrical volatility – meaning the cost of calls (bullish options) and puts (bearish options) is similar for the same strike price and expiration. However, the real world rarely reflects this symmetry. This is where the concept of volatility skew comes in. Volatility skew refers to the difference in implied volatilities for calls and puts with the same strike price and expiry. It reveals valuable insights into market sentiment: Positive Skew: Higher call volatility compared to put volatility suggests a market bias towards potential price increases. Traders might use strategies like bull ca
