I don't appreciate or agree with this kind of argument. Booking losses on first signs of red is not the best way to navigate these markets.Though i don't have investment in Lloyd electric, i tracked it for some time. My views are as under:
1. You say your investment horizon is 5 years so i presume you can hold.
2. Fundamentally, nothing much has changed. Major butchering has already taken place, negatives are priced in. Further downside will be market correlated which can happen even for your replacement bet.
3. ROE 16.5%, EPS (ttm) Rs 19.4, FY08-10E CAGR for revenue 27% & 33% for PAT, P/BV of 0.48, PE (ttm) of 2.4, MCap/PAT of 2.42 & dividend 10%. Leader in its segment with m-share of 50%+. At these levels, unless the company is going to wind up, i don't see much issue.
4. For a moment, forget the % it forms of your portfolio. Please check in absolute terms how much is the cash generated worth in absolute terms, if you've to book loss in it at current levels. If it's not large enough to buy your preferred large cap in some quantity, i won't suggest one should exit. On the other hand, if there is further decline, can probably add.
