Voltas replaces
TV 18 in
The Equity Desk XI . At the present price TV18 trades at a much richer valuation to Voltas which is a much more diversified company with interests in MEP, engineering services, cooling products etc.
The price of Tv18 is being supported by insider buying and while we can always extend that logic to create a favourable environment for the stock the point is beyond a certain period of time what would matter is earnings and valuations.
The internet properties except for money control have not hit traction and while the company has diversified into a lot of related areas the actual process of converting all this into bottomline EPS growth could take some more time.
At these valuations Voltas provides diversity to the TED XI at a cheaper valuation.
Disclaimer: I have a vested interest in Voltas.
