thanx traderji ,
After long time u suggest some stock....we were waiting for it.
nice call....

My pick is Larsen & Toubro and Crompton Greaves.

Thanks Traderji. I think u hit the bull's eye again. How about Madhucon Projects?

Dear Traderji,

I humbly request you that why did you give not small scripts which are likely to go in this sector eventhough their fundamentally are very strong? We all see that this sector's script is so big , our some of the member including myself is not ready to buy it being on a good P.E. So pl give some small but strong script for the benefit of our small members.

Hope that you do not disappoint us being a small investor like a SAINIK AND NOT A OFFICER. Ours have a vision to increase our hard earned money step by step and not in a hours or one day match.

Thanks and regards,

gksjam

Traderji, wonderful info at one place. Thanks. Traderji as per as my tracking, news and info following stocks had done significantly in last 3 to 6 months. They are:
L&T
BHEL
Siemens Ltd
Dredging Cor
ABB

All above five companies has major roles to play in the infrastructure development in coming years. Apart from this BHEL has bagged many projects from NTPC and globally so BHEL is there to outperfom all expectations. L&T though high priced but going to give cool profits.

One more company I would like to mention that is not included here is Container Corporation of India. Infrastructure related work will definitely give impetus to this company as this one of the largest carrier in India.

Traderji your expert feedback is awaited. Requesting other members also to throw some lights in this thread.

Cheers,
nkpanjiyar

Yes CCI has done exceedingly well too. I have not included it in this list as the BSE Capital Goods Sector Index does not have it.

Good call on the Capital Goods Sector, Traderji!

The Capital goods index closed at a life-time high on the hopes of positive announcements for the sector in the Budget for 2005-06.

The capital goods index was the largest gainer on Friday, surging 26 points compared with a 4.49 point drop in the Sensex. The index hit an all-time high of 3355.33 during intra day trade, before closing at 3349.97.

Larsen & Toubro, Crompton Greaves, SKF India, Nelco, Astra Mirco, Graphite India, Gammon India and Alstom Projects gained in the range of 2 per cent to 8 per cent.

Nelco was the largest gainer, up by 8.12 per cent to Rs 47.25 as against the previous day’s close of Rs 43.70.

Most of these stocks are currently trading at their all-time highs, primarily due to growth prospects and orders on hand.

Larsen & Toubro, India’s leading engineering and construction company, had on Wednesday announced that it had won an order for the supply of a tubular reactor system valued at Rs 130 crore from Kuwait Olefins Company KSC Kuwait, a joint venture between Dow Chemical Company ,US and PIC, Kuwait.

The company also bagged a $14.10 million Qatar power project contract from Siemens, Germany last month. The stock closed at all time high of Rs 1,081.85, up by 2.22 per cent on the BSE.

The share price of Mahindra Gesco Developers, High Energy Batteries, Subhash Projects, Jindal Drilling, Avery India, Texmaco, Kalpataru Power Transmissions and Patel Engineering have appreciated by more than 50 per cent in the last one month.

In fact, shares from capital goods sector appreciated by more than 100 per cent in the last one year as a lot of resources are to be committed towards generation and distribution of power and building general infrastructure in the coming few years.

During the quarter ended December 2004, the capital goods sector posted a 53 per cent growth in bottomline. The aggregate net profit of 182 capital goods companies increased to Rs 2,935 crore from Rs 1,920 crore in previous year quarter.

The government is considering a proposal to reduce the customs duty on capital goods imported for setting up captive power plants. It has been proposed that the duty be slashed from the current 20 per cent to 5 per cent to bring it on a par with other power plants.
