Jefferies India Recommends Increasing Large-Cap Stock Investments Amid Rising Bond Yields
Jefferies India recommends increasing investments in large-cap stocks like Reliance Industries, Kotak Mahindra Bank, and Welspun Corp due to their favorable valuations and better risk-reward profiles compared to mid-caps amid rising global bond yields. The brokerage highlights narrowing earnings growth gaps between large- and mid-cap segments and has reduced exposure to rate-sensitive sectors such as NBFC and real estate. Reliance is noted for attractive valuations and potential earnings upgrades from refining margins, while Welspun is expected to benefit from an upcycle in oil and gas infrastructure spending.
