The expenditures, according to the paint manufacturer, would aid in backward integration.

On Thursday, Asian Paints announced investments totalling more than Rs2,650 crore in a greenfield vinyl acetate factory, a white cement joint venture in the UAE, and a nanotechnology start-up.

The expenditures, according to the paint manufacturer, would aid in backward integration.

In order to establish a production facility for vinyl acetate monomer and vinyl acetate ethylene emulsion in India, the company will invest Rs2,100. The factory will be able to produce 150,000 tonnes of VAE annually and 100,000 tonnes of VAM annually.

According to a statement from the firm, VAE is seen as the emulsion of the future and a crucial component in the production of environmentally friendly paints. A vital component in the production of VAE is VAM.

To build a white-cement facility with a Rs550 crore investment, the paint manufacturer will form a 60:40 joint venture with Riddhi Siddhi Crusher & Land Transport (Riddhi Siddhi) and Associated Soap Stone Distributing Company Private Limited (ASD).

In Fujairah, Riddhi Siddhi is the owner of mining rights for premium limestone mines. Leading provider of raw ingredients to the paint sector is ASD.

Asian Paints will be able to further integrate its value chain backward with the aid of White Cement, a crucial raw material used in the production of powder paints and undercoats like putty.

The third investment will go to Harind Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals Private Limited, a player in the nanotechnology industry. Asian Paints and the company's current shareholders signed a legally binding agreement on Thursday to buy a 51% stake. If certain requirements are met, it will gradually purchase an additional 39% stake from the current shareholders over the next five years.

The laws of the financial world are different from the physical world. You can have prolonged periods of time, when sanity takes a back seat and excesses happen.

Retail trading or day trading has exploded because of falling brokerage rates, democratization of information, higher transparency and mobile platforms.

My simple message for dear readers is, if you don’t have any desperate need for funds, then don’t do anything.

The blow up of a US hedge fund has resulted in WhatsApp university offering many courses on what went wrong with Bill Hwang and Archegos.

The expensive valuations have been sustained by strong rebound in corporate earnings which led to ~8% upgrade in FY22 Nifty EPS since October 2020.

We believe the interest rates are likely to have bottomed due to inflationary pressure, large government borrowings and normalizing credit growth. Hence rate sensitive sectors should be avoided in our view.

As markets make new highs, one gets more emails and messages, which highlight the accomplishments of traders who have found a formula for making money.

Data does not seem to convincingly prove that short periods of high returns are always followed by meagre returns. Only in 4 instances, we had negative returns in the subsequent year.

Since September end, Bankex is up 16% with large banks like ICICI Bank, Bandhan up 20-27%, Housing Finance Companies like Repco, LICHF, PNB Housing are up 50%-100% from their six-month lows.
